Indeed, the project is currently under-documented. We have:
  * our wiki ( http://qelectrotech.org/wiki ) which contains many 
informations, but only a little part concerns our final users. Also, the 
translations are very unequal depending of the target language.
  * a QuickStart Guide written in French, (considered unfinished if I 
remember correctly), available in our Subversion repository.

We lack a complete user manual, whatever its language. Would you like to 
write such a manual?

I am not sure to understand your question: could you explain what you would 
like to do?

Actually, we have a few problems regarding internationalization:
  * the main language of the project is the native language of the core 
team, i.e. French. This leads to a less accessible (not full English) but 
better code (strings are always well-written, comments have full potential 
to explain things).
  * I personally translate the application to English, but I don't have any 
time to translate the wiki.
  * We found a German translator only recently, so only the next version of 
QElectroTech will be available in German.
