Ok, thanks for the info. One thing that I forgot to mention is that
we'll need to sync this documentation update with a new language pack
release, but I guess it's just a matter of scheduling it.

Yeah, the list is certainly the central point, but what I meant is that
people tend to follow more the list when there is more translation
activity (i.e. between user interface freeze and language pack
translation deadline). One thing we could do is to post it on the Fridge
to give more visibility. Once you announce the new freeze, I can take
care of forwarding it there.

Regards,
David.
