I'll try to go straight to the point.
I will try to work on the translations as much as I can. I think
live-manual will be ready to be released in Catalan, French, Spanish,
Japanese, Polish and hopefully in Italian (there are still many fuzzy
strings and several untranslated strings in the Italian translation
but we will try to make it in time)
By the way, currently live-manual's commit target displays how many
complete languages there are. (There is a little bug in the script but
it can be easily fixed).

I have to applaud the decision. The rewrite in python is a daunting
task. So it is a great idea (which greatly surprised me) to leave the
code to mature little by little until it is really ready for
production.
Thank you very much Daniel for your dedication to the project :)
