Thank you. Please look at

Sorry not all pages are translated into English.

In Japanese the size of translation documents under textdocs,
manpages, yodldocs and htmldocs(except Using Samba) is about 500KB in
tar+gz form.
and the size of Using Samba translation is 1.2MB in tar+gz form.

If you get Samba Japanese Edition archive, please check the size of
samba-x.x.x/docs/ja.

Yes, as I said

I think only documents of final output format is needed to make an
archive.

At first please look at source/scripts/install*.sh in Samba Japanese
Edition. But it is not yet refined.
Basically we can work at the same time.

Sorry for my poor English,
the former is to specify what language to install with the configure
parameter, the latter is to specify what language to install
automatically if the directory exists or not.
