Yes, this is how they work.  But obviously it's not, uhm, "ideal". ;-)

Not every language
(a) has a <lang>/Changes/index.html page
(b) keeps <lang>/Changes/index.html as up to date as the main page

What we currently do is replace all news with the egnlish news -- people
who translate the news can then easily copy'n'paste the relevant links
from <lang>/Changes/index.html

Overkill, though.  IMHO, at least.
