A list of free on line translator engines in case it helps anyone:
	http://www.berklix.org/trans/
Maybe someone might write a shell to call one of the engines on existing
freebsd.org web pages, then freeze them, & rerun every so often.

It could bulk auto translate a mass of languages for FreeBSD really fast.
it'd be clunky, & freebsd.org doc project till now uses non HTML
master format & doc tools (that never build for me), but consider:

Just as some BSD/IX projects have primary & secondary status CPUs,
FreeBSD could do similar with human languages ...  Easily add a
swathe of new auto translated secondary HTML formatted languages.
When/ if enough volunteers offer to improve translations, edit to primary.

Not me though. In 1985 I was contracted to automate Unix src/ translation to 7 
languages, but I don't enoy defects & inconsistencies of human languages.

Cheers,
Julian
