What are going to be easier for you to translate?

If you don't mind, the stable branch probably have the biggest installed
user base, so would get the most benefit.

As I said, I can definitely see the point in branching the doc/<lang>/man
tree, but only if there are sufficient translators to make it worthwhile.

Yes.  I'm also not convinced that the manual pages 'belong' to the DocProj.
There's no real historical justification for it, and the manual pages are 
tied much more closely to the commands than the FAQ or the Handbook are, 
for example.
