-Internationalization
-====================
+Documentation
+=============
-GnuPG comes with support for 27 languages. Due to a lot of new and
-changed strings many translations are not entirely complete. Jakub
-Bogusz, Petr Pisar, Jedi and Daniel Nylander have been kind enough to
-update their translations on short notice. Thus the Chinese, Czech,
-German, Polish and Swedish translations are complete.
+The gnupg.info file has the complete user manual of the system.
+Separate man pages are included as well; however they have not all the
+details available in the manual. It is also possible to read the
+complete manual online in HTML format at
+ http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/

-detail how to configure the new features. As of now the chapters on
-gpg-agent and gpgsm include brief information on how to set up the
-whole thing. Please watch the GnuPG website for updates of the
-documentation. In the meantime you may search the GnuPG mailing list
-archives or ask on the gnupg-users mailing lists for advise on how to
-solve problems. Many of the new features are around for several years
