I haven't heard from anyone doing German yet. This is great!

Most of the translation guys put there work in /desktop-docs/[language] 

I assume your directory would be /de

I will add you to my list and let you know when the big changes have been made 
to the docs.

I would recommend you translating the SGML source files and using the LANG="de" tag 
to build the German version.  You can join the SGMLTools mailing list to get 
help on this...

send the message "subscribe sgml-tools" (without the quotes)to 
majordomo@via.ecp.fr

Let me know if you have any more questions.
