[Scummvm-devel] Translate the website?

[yotam barnoy]

In the forum we have a rule that all conversation is in English,
right? So why would we create inconsistency and confusion with the
website?

In my opinion, the only thing that's worth translating is the
(partial)manual and the readme file, for noobs. Anyone who's more
serious should be able to handle the minimal amount of English that's
on our site.

The primary exceptions are  a) news items and b) the download page. For a), we could just default showing the english news item until somebody translates it. For b), most text on the download page is free of any use of language, so I am still quite hopeful that it would translate well.
