Personally, I think that we can have non-English articles without a 
corresponding English text, too.
There are areas, which are only useful for a specific country or for a 
specific language. For example,
Spanish people have an own primer for Spanish translations, that 
discusses the language-specific
requirements for translator volunteers. As those people can speak 
Spanish, no need to have an
English version. I think that the same applies to this article. If one 
wants to use the Greek language,
then one probably understands Greek, so no need to have an English 
version here either. Actually,
I'm also working on a translation primer for the Hungarian project, 
which I intend to commit to
hu_HU.ISO8859-2 when ready.
