samba - Aug 2016 - Samba 4 Documentation Translation

Hello guys.
Has any member of the Samba 4 team of programmers on this list?
I give Brazil and we have a group of people interested in the translation of
the Samba 4 documentation for Portuguese and Spanish.

Those who were able to help, please contact me or pass me your email.

Thank you.

I'm not sure if you are asking for a translation of the Samba
documentation or if you offer to help translating our docs?

At this stage, our policy is to avoid translations because they easily
fall behind in accuracy and are difficult to verify.

As said in my previous mail: Our policy is to avoid language-specific
documentation.

For example, during the last days I started updating minor stuff in the
Wiki up to rewriting complete pages. If the translator group won't do
the same for the foreign language documentation, it is quickly outdated
or wrong.

Additionally only people speaking the language, and having the technical
background, can verify if everything is correct. Just a simple example:
Many people use wrong terms like "Samba 4" when they mean "Samba
AD",
"PDC" instead of "DC", and so on.

However, all English-language contributions to our official
documentation are appreciated. :-)
