If that's the thinking, looks like it will be a long wait. Appears to be another 2 to 3 years before 1.0 hits. And it publicly came out in 2016, so add all those years up.

You are right, though kind of easy to miss, relative to everything on that page. Maybe it should say English translation or English Readme in larger letters for the non-attentive people :-)
