Missing article: "in the Polish language", or just plain "in Polish".
And if it doesn't mean "accessible" in the a11y sense of the word, it
should probably be
Debian is also available in Polish.

My Polish is terrible, but that doesn't seem to convey what the
original is saying. Google Translate gives me:
Starting with
system installation, the user interface, and the most popular
programs and system messages, and ending with the documentation.
which is considerably more natural. Or maybe
Starting from system
installation, to system messages and the user interfaces of most
widely used applications, and ending with the documentation.

I'm not keen on "in this matter"; all the obvious alternatives are a
bit starchy. Maybe it would be okay just to leave it out?

That's "Debian user community".
Is that 13 full Debian Developers (capital DD), or just 13 developers
registered as contributors, including DMs and so on? Oh, actually the
original just says "developers". Probably:
At present, there are 13
developers from Poland officially registered with the project.
Or for those of us who read bubulle's blog stats it's 15 (11 of them
active).

"Coverage" tends to be used to mean "how much has been done so far";

"Scope". And what's a partial derivative? Does it mean "and
derivatives (partially)"?

"On the fly" would imply that debconf has a machine translation
module to convert templates for the appropriate locale.
Currently about 60% of debconf templates are translated. New templates
are usually translated as they turn up, but there are still a lot of
older templates which it would also be appropriate to translate.
("A lot" is singular but treated as plural for agreement.)

Is "wrzutce" the Polish for "TAF"? (Not that we exactly have an

Debconf templates are those windows that appear sometimes
when you install/upgrade a package or call dpkg-reconfigure.
Descriptions for translation are usually very short, although
some are difficult to translate without knowing the specifics
of the package. Appropriate notice of an upcoming new version of the
templates is sent out on the debian-i18n mailing lists, and the
translated template must then be sent as a bug report against this
package with wishlist priority.

And surely having "dpkg, apt, aptitude etc" translated is nowhere near
"most"?
Oh, wait - is this talking about packages for which Debian is the
upstream? If so it needs to be a lot clearer. For now:
Currently most Debian programs are translated (mainly related to

At present the translations for the release notes and some minor

Translating package descriptions is the simplest way of doing translation
in Debian (at least if you do not have experience with translating PO files).
Unfortunately, the endless saga of the server located in Spain, in
Extremadura, causes frequent failures of the entire infrastructure that
unfortunately sometimes last for weeks.

News is not translated into Polish, and probably rightly so, because

<p>
Debian is also available in Polish. Starting from system
installation, to system messages and the user interfaces of most
widely used applications, and ending with the documentation.
Obviously, there are many things still to be done, but probably even
now you can use Debian without knowing English.
</p>
<p>
Furthermore, there is a strong Debian user community in Poland, visible through
multiple web sites, mailing lists, and forums. At the moment, there are 13
developers from Poland officially registered with the project.

<h2><a name="polonizacja">Translating Debian to Polish</a></h2>
<p>
Information about translated packages and Debian web pages is available
<a href="https://www.debian.org/international/l10n";>on the statistics
pages</a>.</p>
<p>In order to keep the vocabulary consistent, please use the <a
href="https://wiki.debian.org/WordlistPolish";>word list</a> when translating
Debian-related resources.</p>
<p>
If you would like to help with translation (e.g. installation messages,
package descriptions, program interfaces, WWW pages like this one,
documentation etc.) or if you have another idea for something that could be placed on this
or other Debian pages, send an e-mail on the <email debian-l10n-polish@lists.debian.org>
list.
</p>
<p>
Formerly a lot of work was put into the
<a href="http://debian.linux.org.pl/";>Polish Documentation of Debian Project
(PDDP)</a>, but it seems to be inactive these days.
</p>
<h2>Translation projects</h2>
<p>
<small>The following description was prepared at the end of 2013</small>
</p>
<strong>Installer (debian-installer, d-i)</strong>
<ul>
<li>Scope: Debian + partial derivatives</li>
<li>Translation format: gettext (PO files)</li>
<li>Making changes: directly in svn / debian-l10n-polish@</li>
<li>Statistics: <a href="http://d-i.debian.org/l10n-stats/";>http://d-i.debian.org/l10n-stats/</a></li>
<li>Repository: <a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/d-i/trunk/packages/po/";>http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/d-i/trunk/packages/po/</a></li>
<li>Documentation: <a href="http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/doc/i18n/";>http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/doc/i18n/</a></li>
</ul>
<p>
The Debian Installer is now fully translated. It all needs to be reviewed at
least for style, but is pretty good overall.
</p>
<p>
These translation need an eye kept on them, with the new Debian
release impending, because package maintainers tend to make changes in
English messages at the last minute.
</p>
<strong>WWW pages</strong>
<ul>
<li>Scope: Debian</li>
<li>Translation format: WML</li>
<li>Making changes: directly in svn / debian-l10n-polish@</li>
<li>Statistics: <a href="https://www.debian.org/devel/website/stats/";>https://www.debian.org/devel/website/stats/</a></li>
<li>Repository: <a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/webwml/webwml/polish/";>http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/webwml/webwml/polish/</a></li>
<li>Documentation: <a href="https://www.debian.org/devel/website/translating";>https://www.debian.org/devel/website/translating</a></li>
</ul>
<p>
The main Debian web pages are translated, some are slightly outdated.
The situation has begun to improve recently. It is not bad, though
it could do with having at least a few important pages translated.
</p>
<strong>Debconf templates</strong>
<ul>
<li>Scope: Debian + derivatives</li>
<li>Translation format: gettext (PO files)</li>
<li>Making changes: bugs reports</li>
<li>Statistics: <a href="https://www.debian.org/international/l10n/po-debconf/pl";>https://www.debian.org/international/l10n/po-debconf/pl</a></li>
</ul>
<p>
Currently about 60% of debconf templates are translated. New templates
are usually translated as they turn up, but there are still a lot of
older templates which it would also be appropriate to translate.
</p>
<p>
Debconf templates are those windows that appear sometimes
when you install/upgrade a package or call dpkg-reconfigure.
Descriptions for translation are usually very short, although
some are difficult to translate without knowing the specifics
of the package. Appropriate notice of an upcoming new version of the
templates is sent out on the debian-i18n mailing lists, and the
translated template must then be send as a bug report against this
package with wishlist priority.
</p>
<strong>Manpages</strong>
<ul>
<li>Debian:
<ul>
<li>Scope: Debian</li>
<li>Translation format: gettext (PO files)</li>
<li>Making changes: bugs reports</li>
<li>Statistics: <a href="https://www.debian.org/international/l10n/po4a/pl";>https://www.debian.org/international/l10n/po4a/pl</a></li>
</ul>
A lot of manpages are translated (mainly related to the packages dpkg, apt,
aptitude, etc.). There are no major deficiencies.
</li>
<li>other (manpages-pl package):
<ul>
<li>Scope: GNU/Linux</li>
<li>Translation format: gettext (PO files)</li>
<li>Making changes: directly in git manpages-pl-list@lists.sourceforge.net</li>
<li>Repository:
<ul>
<li>via WWW: <a href="http://sourceforge.net/p/manpages-pl/code/ci/master/tree/";>http://sourceforge.net/p/manpages-pl/code/ci/master/tree/</a></li>
<li>via git: git://git.code.sf.net/p/manpages-pl/code</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Manuals with packages such as coreutils (rm, cat, etc.), util-linux
(dmesg, mkfs, etc.), manpages (proc, hosts, etc.) and others
(sed, bash, etc.) are translated in the manpages-pl project, which
accepts every willing soul who will want to reduce even by one the
nearly 700 completely outdated manual pages waiting for that
volunteer's day of glory :-). Currently the translation of manpages-pl
also goes at least to Fedora and Arch Linux (and, of course,
Ubuntu and other Debian derivatives).
</p>
<h2>Programs</h2>
<ul>
<li>Debian:
<ul>
<li>Scope: Debian + derivatives</li>
<li>Translation format: gettext (PO files)</li>
<li>Making changes: bugs reports</li>
<li>Statistics: <a href="https://www.debian.org/international/l10n/po/pl";>https://www.debian.org/international/l10n/po/pl</a></li>
</ul>
Currently most Debian programs are translated (mainly related to
the packages dpkg, apt, aptitude etc.). There are no major deficencies.
</li>
<li>other
<ul>
<li>Scope: *nix</li>
<li>Translation format: generally gettext (PO files)</li>
<li>Making changes: various (source projects)</li>
<li>Statistics: <a href="https://www.debian.org/international/l10n/po/pl";>https://www.debian.org/international/l10n/po/pl</a></li>
</ul>
Programs from projects outside of Debian (including KDE, Gnome,
etc) are translated in the source projects, where the situation
is different. Although these packages appear in the statistics of
translations to be done, it is not carried out within Debian!
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Miscellaneous documentation, guides, ITP HOW-TO, etc. (DDP)</h2>
<ul>
<li>Scope: Debian</li>
<li>Translation format: gettext (PO files) / docbook</li>
<li>Making changes: directly in svn / bug reports</li>
<li>Repository: <a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/ddp/manuals/trunk/";>http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/ddp/manuals/trunk/</a></li>
<li>Documentation: <a href="https://www.debian.org/doc/ddp";>https://www.debian.org/doc/ddp</a></li>
</ul>
<p>
At present the translations for the release notes and some minor
items are current. However, most are in a sorry state. These
documents for translation are very extensive, so translating (for
instance) the Installation Guide requires the involvement of at least
3-5 people.
</p>
<p>
It should be noted that the original versions of the manuals also tend to be
slightly neglected.
</p>
<h2>Package descriptions (DDTP)</h2>
<ul>
<li>Scope: Debian + Ubuntu</li>
<li>Translation format: HTML</li>
<li>Making changes: <a href="http://ddtp.debian.net/ddtss/index.cgi/pl";>http://ddtp.debian.net/ddtss/index.cgi/pl</a></li>
<li>Statistics: <a href="http://ddtp.debian.net/stats";>http://ddtp.debian.net/stats</a></li>
<li>Documentation:
<ul>
<li><a href="http://ddtp.dug.net.pl/forum/";>http://ddtp.dug.net.pl/forum/</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.debian.org/international/l10n/ddtp";>https://www.debian.org/international/l10n/ddtp</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
The most important package descriptions are now translated, but new
ones are still coming, so you have watch on a regular basis. Even sporadic
activity is useful, since each description must be approved by two
other people.
</p>
<p>
Translating package descriptions is the simplest way of doing translation
in Debian (at least if you do not have experience with translating PO files).
Unfortunately, the endless saga of the server located in Spain, in
Extremadura, causes frequent failures of the entire infrastructure that
unfortunately sometimes last for weeks.
</p>
<p>
Task-* package descriptions require special care because they show
up in the Debian Installer.
</p>
<h2>News</h2>
<ul>
<li>Scope: Debian</li>
<li>Translation format: WML</li>
<li>Making changes: directly in svn / debian-publicity@</li>
<li>Repository: <a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/publicity/";>http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/publicity/</a></li>
</ul>
<p>
News is not translated into Polish and probably rightly so, because
it is beyond our capabilities at the moment. Occasionally
translations appear only for information such as a new Debian release.
This section probably is currently the least important.
</p>
<h2>Explanation</h2>
<p>
Explanation: by "making changes" we mean a place where
you can apply changes, or a list where you can send the finished
translation file. All Debian lists are available at list.debian.org, so
an entry such as "debian-l10n-polish@" means
debian-l10n-polish@lists.debian.org. "Bug reports" means
to send a mail with relevant context to the address
submit@bugs.debian.org (more information at
<a href="https://www.debian.org/Bugs/";>https://www.debian.org/Bugs/</a>).
