Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal

There a several files in at least one polish language directory which are not
translated, e.g.,
./polish/News/1997/19970626a.wml . Its changelog says:
revision 1.1
date: 2006/01/15 10:09:46;  author: vandut;  state: Exp;
Sync with Polish Debian Documentory Project CVS.

While I could in principle remove these files I'd first like to understand
their purpose.

Reasons for removal:
*) www.debian.org is i18n with fall back, so they waste space
*) It requires unnecessary bandwith
*) When updating the original, also translations need updating. Thus
   each change causes unnecessary work either for the person updating (if
   he is doing the updates in the translated files as well) or the
   translation team
*) It presents a higher "translated" score than actually present and hides
   the remaining parts for translators

Best would be, of course, if these files would actually be translated.

I already posted this on the polish translation list and the www list, but
got no reply so far.
