Yes, should. That's ideology, though. > Who is going to pay for all these translations? Who is going to pay for Parrot? Perl 6? Who's paying for Pugs? Who's going to pay for perldocs in English? Did I miss some important memo? Many people work on Perl 6 voluntarily, and as many could work on translations, but you need an army of translators to keep up with newer versions, and that's why I think it should be official, so it gets lots of attention. > There are already volunteer efforts to translate into Japanese and Italian, > according to http://www.perl.org/docs.html plus I'm aware of perlchina.org, > which is actively translating documentation to Chinese: > http://wiki.perlchina.org/main/recently_revised/ That's nice, but were this an international project for in theory any language in existence, then I had probably heard of it much sooner, which is my argument for making translated perldocs an official project that isn't limited to any language.
