What is this "very difficult site"? Is it a message in the mailing list
archive? More precisely, is it
[[http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2005-09/msg00017.html]]?
If not, could you please give the URL?

I'm not a developer either, but I'm trying to make something similar to
the infrastructure used to translate the website, starting with patch
from Jan (see above message link). I hope you're not in a hurry, because
I can't spend much time on it, and I'm a newbie concerning makefiles and
Texinfo. I've read the Texinfo info pages, and now I'm trying to figure
out how to debug the makefile.

I'll submit ideas and problems on the list later, when I really know
what I talk about.

French translators are waiting for it too. By the way, I hope you will
find other Dutch people interested in doing this job, in order to do it
faster and better. We (the French translators) have managed to translate
most of the website with a good quality, haven't we? As we are a team,
we read and improve each other's work, until it looks good.
