 There is a separately maintained French translation of this manual:
   https://ctan.org/pkg/latex2e-help-texinfo-fr
 There is also a Spanish translation included in the distribution with
 the English. It has not yet been updated for this release.

 Suggestions, bug reports, new translations, all discussion welcome.

 Contributions of any kind are very welcome, from small to large. It
 would be great to see the manual expanded to cover more of the LaTeX2e
 commands, not to mention expl3 and other current developments, but the
 current maintainers just cannot devote sufficient time to make that
 happen. Interested volunteers are needed.
