I've prepared a patch against the -CURRENT src/, to accompany the earlier
one for doc/ and www/. It would change not just documentation but some
textual output (if that is considered beyond the scope of such a patch, I
don't mind scaling it back). I left intact some instances of "CDROM" in
the Japanese documentation because I was not sure whether they referred to
some of the exceptions. I also left intact the names of all variables,
macros, and so forth.
According to diffstat, this second patch would make 263 changes in 74
files (including share/freebsd/dict as requested, loosely speaking, by
blackend). It is at
<URL:http://people.FreeBSD.org/~trevor/doc/38225-src.diff.bz2>.
