We had someone translating the wiki into Japanese
some years ago now, but he got tired of it, and when
the wiki got switched over to the 9P2000 wikifs I tossed
the Japanese pages, which by then were presumably
out of date.
What's to say that's not going to happen again?
Maintaining multiple consistent copies of anything is hard.
If time is going to be spent on the wiki, why not make the
English documents better? (It would be different if the
rest of the system and its man pages and papers were already
available in many languages.)
