And how do you deal with faq referring to another faq, when one of them 
is removed or renamed or merged if you split the faq in chunks?

The problem is not faq, the problem is to find people who can spend as 
many time as it is required within a short delay to translate the whole 
thing (not only faq). I recall I spend 3 months to do this and I was 
not alone and I'm jobless, which means I could spend most of my time on 
it.
