This is a good point: a doc freeze is also beneficial to people who aren't translators. When we freeze src, release candidates are distributed for testing to reduce the number of bugs in the final release. As the docs and Web site are built nightly, a brief freeze will allow people to look for technical and linguistic errors. Just as important changes are committed with src when it's frozen, we could do the same with doc, perhaps with a small group of people who can approve these changes performing the same role as the release engineers do for src. This will reduce the likelihood of serious problems creeping into doc before a release is created.
