Warning! You don't have to translate TXT or HTML file, you have to modify LYX file, so that it is possible to convert it all other formats (TXT, HTML, RIFF, etc.): to do that you can use "LyX" application you download from http://www.lyx.org.
No need to ask me to translate! You just have to let me know (if you want) about your translation.
