You don't need to update the languages beside the english original. The translation teams will sync the changes from the en version and then update if necessary. For code instruction changes (like yours), they get applied without the need for a change.

bcr added a comment to D53910: website: complete refresh of beastie theme.

I see your concerns, thanks for raising them. It's hard to change a large website that has grown over the years such as ours in one go and a perfect one at that. Whatever we can fix right is is definitely worth it.
Yes, a lot of people will notice that our site has changed. Good. They'll notice problems, errors and inconsistencies. Good. We can fix them, but only if people have a chance to see it (a github page is rarely a good testing ground and only a handful of people will test it there rather than a live version).

I'm fine with this version. Even though I skipped some of the translations, I was able to review most of the new site's content. Huge thanks for the work to everyone involved!

I'll bring this into the doc tree. I'll do a few minor textual fixes before committing, but nothing substantial.
