Idea

The user guide and how-tos in French as well as English (#12, Q182, Q186).

Why

The author's first language, and the project's likely first readers. English only was chosen for the first version.

What's known

Zola supports multilingual sites (a language per file suffix, with its own menus and URLs).
Two languages double what has to be kept in step: the guide, the FAQ, the how-tos. The developer docs would stay English.

Questions

Which pages are worth translating, and which stay English?
Who keeps a translation up to date when the English changes?
