To create HTML from debiandoc SGML just use debiandoc2html, similar
tools exists for PDF/PS (need language support!). A simple
$ make architecture=i386 html
should do it for you (similar for other archs). Required is
debiandoc-sgml package and tetex stuff for PS/PDF.

It a simple text file which a few tags similar to wml. Just translate
release-notes.en.sgml and remember to add a note what revision of the
English file you translated to simplify updating in the future.

Don't know whether windows-1251 is the best choice but please restrict
to common Bulgarian 8-bit encoding.

Right. That's especially for HTML very simple but we need LaTeX
adjustments too to be able to create PS/PDF.
Do you know how to write a simple Hello world document in Bulgarian?
PS: Similar work is missing for other languages as well. Currently
supported are:
$ ls /usr/share/perl5/DebianDoc_SGML/Locale/
