But it's then impossible to have a "living" website as the english one.
and that is a disadvantage.

Maybe yes, maybe no. We need to test it to see what it will happens.

By the way, what it would really be nice is to have 
files like http://www.netbeans.org/kb/advanced.html automatically generated for other language than english one.
So, the page http://www.netbeans.org/kb/advanced.html will list only the english one, but the
http://fr.netbeans.org/kb/advanced_fr.html will list the french one, and 
http://ru.netbeans.org/kb/advanced_ru.html will list the russian one

What do you think about that ?

Great.
Thanks a lot.
