Please note: translated documentation is only useful, when it is up to
date. In the net we have a lot of outdated translated documentation.
Keeping translations up to date is really hard work -- you have all the
time to watch for small changes in the original.

And I really think that people doing EDA design should be able to read
some English.

And of course, people doing translations should be experts in that area
-- I have seen a lot German documentation for commercial devices done by
fools. Despite of my limited English skills, most of the time I prefer
reading english manuals instead of the ugly german translations. 

If you still want to translate: Maybe a good starting point is DJs fine
tutorial for beginners. Of course you should ask him for permission.

Best regards
