At some point, when the documentation will be sufficiently advanced, reviewed and stabilized, we might indeed want to localize it. But, it really needs to be done at the end of the process, when we're sure about the english version first. We've already gone to the localization road with Apache Directory Studio (which supports English, German and French) and our experience is that you really want to that at the end of the development. BTW, if you're willing to provide some help localizing Apache Directory Studio in Spanish, feel free to ask where to start… ;) You'd be more than welcome again. Regards, Pierre-Arnaud
