I was looking for the F13 install guide at the new docs site [1] but, as there is no Spanish version yet, the site seems to indicate that there is no install-guide at all [2].
Is it possible to have at the left the links to the English version for the untranslated books? So the Fedora documetation list is complete. New users will see untranslated guides in English and would probably want to join us in the translation efforts. What do other language coordinators think?

The easy way to do this is to publish all documents in all languages. That way the guide would be available in English no matter if the text was translated or not.
Of course this would mean partial translations would be published which, in my opinion, are better than no translation at all.

Hi all; this feature is now implemented in the latest Publican source, and I've rebuilt the Fedora documentation site to use it. Any books that we published for a particular Fedora release now appear under an "untranslated" heading an all languages other than English, with links to the English versions of the documents.
You can translate "untranslated" into your language (together with other parts of the navigation iframe such as "collapse all", "map", "statistics" etc), in Transifex here: https://translate.fedoraproject.org/projects/p/publican/c/trunk/ (unfortunately, for technical reasons, we have not yet made the "Search" button translatable).
Publican also now uses the translated titles of documents wherever available; I'm gradually rebuilding docs to use this feature and hope to have this finished soon. At the moment, some translated docs still show their English titles in some languages.
Both these features in Publican came about because of feedback from the Fedora Localization team over the past few weeks -- thanks very much for the suggestions!
Cheers Rudi
