Hi,

It is not hard to translate something, it is hard to maintain the actual  
state of translation. Without some sustainable translation system (wiki  
extension) one-time translations do not make sense. They will always be  
outdated at least for one development cycle.

On the other hand, wiki extension needs maintenance efforts and Canonical  
cannot even invest resources into the development and maintenance of it's  
own Rosetta/Launchpad, so this should be something from community itself.

Wikipedia shows the other way. If you want to give some documentation on  
your native language, just give it. It is not necessary to translate it  
 from English.

Just my 5 cents.

Best regards,
Yuri
