Those all look like obvious requirements to me, changing urls is not acceptable, losing content is mostly unacceptable (we can lose what is really obsolete or wrong), making translators do work again just because someone thinks that a new design is nicer may be seen like a jerk move by them so it seems kind of not acceptable.

Cheers,
  Albert

P.S: Personlly I don't really see the okular website as a hurdle for okular promotion or contributor "convincing".

I asked Carl and we both think that to include the required translations we would need to have a Hugo theme which must be created from scratch. So what I thought was to create a theme for Hugo and port Okular to that for translations. By doing this, we can attract more users to using and contributing to the Okular community. Carl said he would be happy to mentor me for the project but needs the heads up from the community for finalizing the project. If the idea is fine by the community, I look forward to working with the Okular community to make this project a reality.
