Look at the copyright notices in {de,es,fr}/*.tely, which should be
moved to @lilyTitlePage macro definition in macros.texi like in the
English docs.

Yes, look at the title page of Learning Manual in English and in PDF
format, you'll see where "Learning Manual" appears and you'll become
certain that it should be translated.

The documentation generally lacks volunteers, so I'm unfortunately not
surprised of this; there is so much to do in such a huge project.  I
don't ask you to contribute, but if you ever have time and motivation to
fix it in English docs, you'll be welcome :-)

I understand.  Translated docs have been much less visible since the
Documentation index hand-coded in HTML has been replaced by a Texinfo
document only in English docs (which is a pity), so not announcing the
Hungarian translation as early as possible is not the urgent worry.  I
wish we'd have switched to a newer build system before the new website
appear in all languages, but I've dramatically ran out of time.  Well,
I'm waiting for your patch for the reorganization together with the
announcement, anyway :-)

Best,
John
