Yes, Introduction was the first part I translated (in June).
But it's not a problem at all..

When I have to upgrade the translation to 2.13, I'll just need some 
tips about how to see the changes from version to version.

No, I never translated the website.
With web branch I meant the documentation of the development version, 
so the documentation which is being updated.

As far as I remember, in the git repository the doc branch is the 
stable documentation, while the web branch (of documentation) is the 
documentation which is updated accordingly to the new features and 
settings of each new version.
Is this correct?

I'm still far from seeing the big picture :-)

No, I meant the last version of Doc.

It'ok..
So, if I've understood correctly, there's no need to complete the 
translation of 2.12 doc.
I can send you these files for 2.12 doc, then I'll switch to 2.13 as 
soon as the doc are ready to be translated.
Right?
