Well, I think it might apply to all kind of docs. As I see, the Spanish, 
Russian, Japanese and Italian documentation set is also pretty outdated. 
Not speaking about those who don't even have the webpage translated. 
Some Linux distributions succeeded with keeping them up-to-date, so I'm 
more optimistic about this and I'm willing to help maintining them with 
Miklos, our new contributor. This is a just an opportunity, users can 
always return to use English ones if they are unsatisfied with the 
quality of the translated documents.
