[Bf-docboard] Moving to Wiki based

[Ines Almeida]

Hello,

I am not sure which message you are referring to.
Blender has both a reference manual meant for users (
https://docs.blender.org/manual) and a wiki holding the documentation for
developers (https://wiki.blender.org).

The user manual has translations, but a translator would need to understand
both english and the language that he/she is translating to.
The developer wiki is not meant to be translated, because sooner or later
it's about programming Blender and the code itself is in english.

Best,
Inês Almeida / brita_
