Nope, that wouldn't be the primary job of the i18n team, just some kind of task that they might do when they'd be idling otherwise :) > Fex, to increase the profit from translated GWN > translated versions should come out together with English one.

While the comments in configuration files are certainly very useful, I am persuaded that they shouldn't contain more information than the docs available somewhere else. It's quite common for an administrator to work on a remote box, possibly with a crappy network connection, and browsing some doc over web is easier than launching yet another links session under screen.
