Text is managed dynamically
...
Preferred parts are - of course the main page (index.html), download and why. But also the other pages can be translated.
In order to To work with data that can be changed dynamically (e.g., when new releases happen), some parts are only working when HTML and JavaScript parts are translated together.

The text string "I want to learn more about OpenOffice" on the main page is actually in the HTML file itself.
