[Joe Burgess <joemburgess@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is an interesting issue, There is not built in way to do
translations at all in latex, so we will have to figure that out. I will
look into it, but it might require that we just have separate branches
for diff languages.  I am not familiar enough with bzr to figure out if
there is a way to branch something, and then every no and then pull in
new files as the English version gets updated.

The issue is because we are doing so much work right now, and everything
is so fluid it is very hard to have the translators work. Nothing is
edited and so little changes will keep happening to the main document.
So it would be best if the translations don't start until after we are
pretty much done, but of course we don't want to lose the steam we have now.

So, does anyone have any ideas?
