Just to be more clear: The 2-places-in-git issue is only for the social
contract/dfsg-flyer, in salsa.debian.org:debian/debian-flyers/social_contract/
.  The po-issue is especially for the general debian flyer, in
salsa.debian.org:debian/debian-flyers/english.tex

I also _think_ that; and I also don't know yet how to do such a conversion.  I
_think_ that once we have .po files, we can hook up with existing popular
translators infrastructure.

That would be great.  Even if it turns out that it would be too much work /
overkill, that'd be useful to know.

Thanks, Bye,
