The TeXmacs documentation consists of several parts:

* The online help (brief but rather complete) in the editor itself.

* The tutorial pages on the web.

* Experimental documentation on the Wiki.

The online help is best translated in TeXmacs or LaTeX
(this has been done for Romanian for some pages).

The tutorial is written in html; I recommend to *not*
translate it on the Wiki. Indeed, TeXmacs should soon
be able to edit html directly and we want to make web
publication available directly from TeXmacs.

The experimental documentation on the Wiki should be used
by user to write the documentation that they would have
liked to have. This may cause some documentation,
but eventually, we will compile an official documentation from it.

Thanks for your help, <Joris>
