Its not that the manifesto is a legal binding document for it to need 
translations that have the super-careful wording.

One thing that we could do, is to follow the Creative Commons principle of 
having official (verified by local and CC lawyers) and unofficial translations 
(that desire to become official at some point).

For translations, we'll need manifesto versioning - as it is very likely that 
changing the manifesto will not trigger translations to be updated.

Cheers,
Ivan
