ok, I've renamed the d_i_manual_$LANG jobs to d_i_manual_$LANG_html and 
created all d_i_manual_$LANG_pdf, which are triggered by success of their 
d_i_manual_$LANG_html job. 

And, all new d_i_manual_$LANG_pdf jobs resulted in "unstable" builds due to 
the four warnings each of them has:

d-i_manual_de_pdf/builds/1/log-Architecture: hurd
d-i_manual_de_pdf/builds/1/log:Warning: The following formats failed to build: 
pdf
d-i_manual_de_pdf/builds/1/log-Architecture: hurd-i386
d-i_manual_de_pdf/builds/1/log:Warning: The following formats failed to build: 
pdf
d-i_manual_de_pdf/builds/1/log-Architecture: kfreebsd
d-i_manual_de_pdf/builds/1/log:Warning: The following formats failed to build: 
pdf
d-i_manual_de_pdf/builds/1/log-Architecture: linux
d-i_manual_de_pdf/builds/1/log:Warning: The following formats failed to build: 
pdf

You can spot these warnings easily via http://jenkins.debian.net/view/d-
i_manual/job/d-i_manual_cs_pdf/1/parsed_console/

And it seems to me, that those warnings are real errors which should be fixed. 
(Though I dont really get what that "linux" architecture is :)
 
(Each build has such a "parsed consele output" view, which links to errors and 
warnings in the output.)

Ok, added to my todo. I guess the easy part will be getting the last 
translators out of the files, harder it will be to connect them and ask if 
they to get those mails...

So I think first rather irc notifications to #debian-boot :)
