 I recommend that the original manual in English be kept in the translation.

 I mean that we put the translation of each paragraph just after the 
English version, so people can refer to the original manual easily when 
they don't fully understand the translation. I've seen a Chinese 
translation of python manual in this manner, which I think if great for 
me. Just like this:

[......paragraph one..............English version.................]

[......paragraph one..............translated version..............]

[......paragraph two..............English version.................]

[......paragraph two..............translated version..............]

.........

.........

[......the last paragraph ..............English version.................]

[......the last paragraph ..............translated version..............]

Hope my bad English didn't confuse anyone.
