Localized help files are currently fetched from the 'help' folder, which means that only module maintainers will be able to commit translations.

I was about to open a request on 'infrastructure' to let free access to the 'help' folder in contrib modules, but realized :
- that would be problematic for modules with an existing 'help' folders that's not related to advanced_help
- that would let anyone modify the original help files (well why not after all...)

Not sure what's best here. Is it feasible to fetch localized help files from the 'translations' folder instead ?

Translations are fetched from the translations folder:

    drupal_get_path('module', $module) . "/translations/help/$language->language", // Translations.

Unless the translations folder doesn't allow directory creation, this shouldn't be a problem.

Doh, I completely misread the 'Translating advanced help' help page :-(. Sorry about that.
