	* Translating English into Japanese is totally different from
	  translating English into German.  Not only much more cost is
	  expected, but also it's hard to judge the quality of a
	  translation.

	* Manuals must be written with more accuracy than WWW pages,
	  because many people (especially newbies, students, ...) read
	  manuals THAT thoroughly.
