I'm very unsure whether translation is a good idea at all. It's too easy to 
change the meaning and just think about how carefully we worded everything to 
make the meaning quite clear. It's possible that a certain wording will get a 
different meaning in another language just because it's not possible to 
translate correctly.

So overall from me a -1 for translations. If we want to do translations it has 
to be clear, that:
* it's a translation which is not binding. The English version of the 
manifesto matters
* we have very strong requirements on who is allowed to translate and a very 
strict peer review process for the translated document.

I volunteer to review a German translation.
