Who said anything about it being in the Emacs distribution?

That's what I had in mind: let people think now about translating, but don't
integrate any translations into Emacs until the display can support them. I
thought that was also what Stefan had in mind, but I don't know.

However, I also added a caveat that we should let potential translators know
that their effort might be partly wasted if the tutorial is revisited after
the release.

Stefan spoke not of translating, in fact, but of "writing tutorials", which
I also agree with. That is, I think it would be good for people to think now
about possible improvements to the Emacs tutorial. Recently, people here
looked at another tutorial (with screenshots etc.), which some found useful.
I say, let's get input from all quarters on how the Emacs tutorial might be
improved.

Input should be welcome, both translation and new tutorial ideas. You may
not "agree to something like that", but that's what I meant and what I still
mean.
