I wasn't expecting this one ;-D In fact, the translation project is different 
in two points:

 * Not all the sources have been copied; only sources for some manpages
 * the en version is the source for translation. It's not compiled (why 
bother? it's already done in the main repo).

BTW, who is using the preformatted docs? If it's useful to anybody to have 
access to the compound of en + translated docs, such repo can be set up.

Please note that Johannes clearly stated that git-for-windows cannot afford 
more weight, so English only manpages are still required.
