Hi Helen, basically, I agree with you. But why can't I find the release notes for the alpha 4.0 on Github? I thought Alpha 1 is freezed, isn't it?

I think there are some core sections that will not change much. So please send me the material. Just a thought. Would it be useful to make open changes in your own branches and merge them later with the release branch?

Release Notes sources don't go into version control until the release itself, specifically to avoid having translators putting in effort to translate stuff that is going to change a lot as the release evolves. Take it from me, getting the background for new features and improvements is like squeezing blood from a stone! It is just how it is, nobody's fault. Typically (and correctly) the developers don't commit themselves to documenting new things until they are close to completing them. Also, bug fixes are meant to be cleaned out for the final release notes, so that only bugs that existed in older versions are documented. All in all, you are taking on a hot task if you want to keep translations in synch during alpha and beta. I can send them to you privately if you like.
