Hi,

I mailed http://fedora.jp administrators. I am also maintaining 
translation of fedoranews.org, which I am planning to abolish when 
news.fedoraproject.org is ready, and fedorafaq.org.

If we are making local language web site, we can't just translate web 
site. It utterly fails, because documents needed to translate is huge 
and needs ongoing translation. If original article links to other 
English site for reference, then translated article doesn't really make 
sense unless we translate those linked sites as well. So if we are 
making local web site, you probably need to empower administrators of 
each language site to build a site which makes sense.
