I'm putting together a kernel documentation directory at http://kernel.org/doc
and I could easily add translations in there. I just don't know if this is a
good idea.
The problem is, the submission of patches happens on the various kernel.org
mailing lists, which are all in English. Kernel development is done in a
single common language: English. (If you'd like to argue for it to be done
in another language, please make the proposal in Linus's native Swedish.)
