Yes, I would like to translate DocBook (or SolBook) documents from
English to other human languages. I'd like the community to do it
together, but I wonder if there is any DocBook-specific translation
editor. The translation industry uses expensive systems such as Idiom
Worldserver or Trados, which won't be used by the open-source
community due to the expensive license.
