I support having an official translated doc.

I have seen several groups trying to translate part of our official doc.
But their efforts are disperse and quickly become lost because they
are not organized to work towards a single common result and their
results are hold anywhere on the Web and hard to find. An official one
could help ease the pain.

But I agree we may need more details on the workflow.
