Ping!  I'm waiting for instructions about these translated chunks of
text.

One possibility would be to replace these with the English text, as I
did for the refcards written in English, and let the translators to
translate this in their free time.  Some non-English refcards didn't
bother translating this stuff, so I guess it's okay in general.

Should I do that?
