Hi, As a translator, I'd like to know when the English version of the Etch Release Notes will be finished. I'm quite confusing to see the current state of the Release Notes that it still has many big changes. I have been working to make the Japanese translation finished on April 1st, the deadline described in an announcement[1], although I have some other big tasks/deadlines last week and this week. However, the translation work has been like a cat-and-mouse game and I cannot see the goal line now. Since all translators and collaborators (like reviewers) have private schedules, I'd like to know the latest information of the Release Note works -- what percent has finished, what has not been done, and when the original text will be (almost) finished. I've read notes on recent changes[2], but it may have got old, and it does not mention any timelines and deadlines. Note that translation is not a word-by-word substitution. Translation requires consideration and reviews by other people just as the original text does. I need at least a couple of days (and hope one week) to finish translation after the soft freeze of the original text.
