   5 <p>I am happy observe that the <a href="https://debian-handbook.info/">The
   6 Debian Administrator's Handbook</a> is available in six languages now.
   7 I am not sure which one of these are completely proof read, but the
   8 complete book is available in these languages:
   9
  10 <ul>
  11
  12 <li>English</li>
  13 <li>Norwegian Bokmål</li>
  14 <li>German</li>
  15 <li>Indonesian</li>
  16 <li>Brazil Portuguese</li>
  17 <li>Spanish</li>
  18
  19 </ul>
  20
  21 <p>This is the list of languages more than 70% complete, in other
  22 words with not too much left to do:</p>
  23
  24 <ul>
  25
  26 <li>Chinese (Simplified) - 90%</li>
  27 <li>French - 79%</li>
  28 <li>Italian - 79%</li>
  29 <li>Japanese - 77%</li>
  30 <li>Arabic (Morocco) - 75%</li>
  31 <li>Persian - 71%</li>
  32
  33 </ul>
  34
  35 <p>I wonder how long it will take to bring these to 100%.</p>
  36
  37 <p>Then there is the list of languages about halfway done:</p>
  38

  46 </ul>
  47
