Dear list

This could be a naive question but I ask anyway:

I've translated about 100 man pages of GRASS since grass 6.2. Now I am updating 
to version 6.4 (slowly though). I would like to upload those translated pages 
one by one to my blog to make them accessible immediately for Vietnamese users. 
At the beginning of each translated page I add:

"Vietnamese translation by bhmanh73 at yahoo dot com. The purpose of this 
translation is to help people who can't read English. Only the original English 
version is officially released by GRASS Development Team."

Would it be appropriate?

My idea is to translate the fully functional html help pages (created after 
installation), 1 by 1, keeping the same directory structure. Therefore, if 
users want, after installation they can replace the original html directory by 
the translated one and make it workable. I know this will not make the updating 
of man pages easily but at least it's an simple solution for a defined version 
of manual.  

Thanks
Manh

To be precise:
- relatively small effort to make it possible (support of
multi-lingual man pages)
- large effort to translate everything.
