I'm not sure how the news posting would work, but probably it would be a
cron job, which somehow reads the news from SF, and updates the website.
So it should work with static-html mirrors just fine. I haven't looked
into it yet though.

Well, I'll try to keep up with the German version of the Allegro website
as long as it is there, but I wouldn't mind at all if you drop the
translation system. The German version probably never has been seen by
anyone :)

A translation of the manual to German might possibly have a few users
interested (unlike the website), but that's too much work.
