As we are now in a development release perhaps you
could do your translation a section or two at a time.

Remember that only chapter 1. Musical notation is
stable.  All the other chapters are subject to further
revision, maybe extensive revision, so translation of
these is not recommended at present, unless you are
prepared to watch for revisions in git.

I would also recommend deferring the translation of
the snippets under See also and even the Selected
snippets until all the main text in the chapter has
been translated.  (Apologies if this is your intention
already.)
