I would say no. We need something in the root directory for users to
see, and the English README makes the most sense for that purpose.
It's also worth noting that English is really the "official" language
of the project. Our mailing list operates mostly in English, our
weekly #ps meetings are in English, etc. We write documentation in
English and from there is translated into other languages. This is
just a de facto standard, I think. We could vote as a community if we
like this precedent or not, but for now this really seems like how we
do business.
Anything in docs/translations would be translations of the English, so
wouldn't include English as a translation.
