This is may be an unpopular idea with some of you, but so be it.
Also note that this is not directred at you, Javier, but as a general
comment on translations.
I don't understand why so much time is spent translating developer
related material. Other than time spent internationalizing developer
docs that could better be spent elsewhere, I have no objection to
their translation. It is when I see much more widely read parts of
the website with out of date translations, while time is spent
localizing less widely read material (like developer documentation),
that I get frustrated.
Would it help if the webmasters created a document which lists the
order we consider files should be translated?
