My point is that document was not written before the first
translation. Instead, someone said "SVN has no translations, I guess I
better figure out how to do that" and just did it. 

We're at a point where "just doing it" is probably pretty easy. The
trickiest part is how to install translations automatically, but the
translator needn't worry about that.
