[Whonix-devel] translation experiences

Hi Jean,

it still is a bumpy ride. We're still figuring out how to best use
that translate extension.

Looks like simply wrapping the whole page into
<translate>...</translate> doesn't work very well if there is a lot
markup on that page. And only wrapping text into
<translate>...</translate> is quite some work.

However, I did that at least for the main and the download page.
Please check if it's working better now.

Cheers,
Patrick
