Well, took a look over it - I can't read it (don't care, my fault :-),=20
looks great.

I have to apologize, but I don't know very much about the different chinese=
=20
dialects (?). Someone startet already a Traditional Chinese translation=20
(I'm note sure about the state, see=20
<http://httpd.apache.org/docs-project/translations.html>). Does it make=20
sense to translate into both dialects? I think, we should clear that,=20
perhaps you may work together.

However, there are some technical issues, that happen if/when the=20
translation goes into the apache repository:

- the xml files are named by language not by charset, so it would be
  foo.xml.zh (?)
- the html files go similar. The charset extension for non-iso-8859-1=20
  documents comes after the language extension for better negotiation, i.e.
  foo.html.zh.gb2312
- there are a lot of linebreaks, perhaps they can be shortened, but this is=
=20
  only cosmetics :)
- the <!-- English Revision --> notes the CVS revision number of the=20
  particular english original document, so it can't be 2.0 ;-)

- The documents need review, I'm not sure, how we solve that; any ideas=20
  someone?
