Re: /etc shortcut

Why wouldn't you leave the english documentation where no translation is
available? What's worse: a) A documentation system which does some magic
i8n with instransparently outdated content or b) a consistent, complete
documentation obviously lacking the beauty of 100% translation coverage?
BTW: Deepl.com e.g. produces a perfect german translation for the
read-the-docs section. So why spend time on manual translation in times
of quite good translation engines. Even if quality might be lower than
100%, it's still better than holes in the docs, isn'it? ;-)

My hypothesis - based on my current experience: Case b) would relieve
the mailing list.

And yes, I've already thought about volunteering in doc translation a
few years ago, but the technical setup is (was at the time being resp.)
so nerdy and complex that I resigned from that idea :-(
