The B_Release branch was migrated from CVS (I didn't create it). The 
master branch is what is called the HEAD branch in CVS. And the master 
branch is what you should target for your changes.

The B_Release branch seems to contain cherry-picked changes from master, 
but in general it is outdated compared to master. For example the 
Firebird 3 release notes are entirely absent from B_Release (as is your 
translation of the langref), and the 2.5 release notes are only up to 
2.5.0. Maybe Paul knows the purpose of this branch.

If you want to use pull requests, that means someone has to review and 
approve it. And given the nature of translations, that would mean you 
need someone fluent in the language, or you only get a 'mechanical' 
review. If you used to commit directly to CVS in the past, I don't see 
why you should change that now.
