Hello Motiki-san,
Thank you for your comments.
For undocumented stuff, I have just proposed a patch:
https://review.opendev.org/#/c/673375/ .
And I am now collecting the statistics (it takes so long / is difficult
due to unstable network connection from my side).
Let's see where we have such translators or not..
With many thanks,
/Ian
