The thought is that that English text receives much greater scrunity, both because patches get reviewed by several people, and because more people read it. So it is much less likely to have mistakes that something that a single person translated. Any DD can commit a translation to the repo and it will get published, basically. Not so for changes to the English text. -- Sean Whitton
