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?
