What would be the advantage of keeping it in DocBook over the wiki? One
of the main advantages of keeping it on the wiki would be to allow
others to help out with the editing of them.
Looking at the state of many of our non-english FAQs today, I don't put
too much faith into a system that'll just show people "this is not
translated". I think it's more likely to get better if the people can
just edit the translations directly instead of having to produce a
patch (and to make that work, they have to set up a build system for
processing docbook which is certainly far from trivial on some
platforms), etc...
