Mr Kook, The translations are being worked on activly at the moment, all of our translators are voulenteers who work in their own time and thus translations take a while to do, by your argument we wouldnt even have the en version of the manual on the site as it certainly isnt finished. At the moment translations are added when some of the manual has been translated which it has been in both those cases. Gradually as the translators spend more time on it more of the text will get translated but until then we will put up the current version to help people as much as possible, as an en/dutch speaker perhaps you could find some time to translate parts of the manual and then it wouldnt be such a big problem would it? - James -- James Moore jmoore@php.net
