I think we can do both. My suggestion is very cheap, and requires no change to release management, or even action by release managers and committers: the PSF board could announce the policy tomorrow and start cutting checks next Monday, and python-dev wouldn't notice. (I'm not suggesting overnight rollout is a good idea, and practically speaking the board can't act that fast, of course. The point is that there's potential encouragement for translators, improved documentation for users, at zero cost to the code developers and release managers.) The suggestion of providing official translations in the distribution has been made before, and resisted by the maintainers and committers. I don't oppose the idea myself, I simply observe that resistance and the explanations offered, and assume there is good reason for it.
