True.
I am not a serious programmer nor likes I the English, but I can read a
Web site. Of as much writing "Text", "And", "Or", etc. already I know
that it means. Normally I read the version in English because is more
complete and does not have translation errors, but the translations are
important because by means of them it is arrived at all public.

Also when a project is very important, like this one, they appear sites
that make the work by you.
I think that the projects must have links towards sites of the same
type, but with another content, language, etc.
