Of course!

It's an involved task; I wonder whether it's worth doing it, as there
are few translators.  Something that could be done in that direction is
formatting TRANSLATION in Texinfo or Wiki, to start a real "translators
guide".  IMHO it's not a priority, Lily translators could do many other
things; for example, helping users in their mother spaeaking language
though a list or forum, work on the docs in their language.  The latter
is interesting, but then interesting doc changes in other languages than
English should be translated back to English, which is not easy.  Any
thoughts on this?
