@Roy_043 or anybody else
what do we do with this page Material? do we keep out of translation?
You remove from translation last March and since nothing has changed except it is reference for example in FEM_MaterialEditor.

AFAIK the Material page is a roadmap. It is not intended for the average user.

not sure to understand the word "roadmap" applied to this page. For me, roadmap is something you plan and the Abstract of this page says:
Since it is hard, or even impossible, to define a fixed or complete set of material properties, we go a more open way. Every object in FreeCAD which has to deal with material will have a Property named "Material". This is comprised of a key/value list that can hold an infinite number of material properties. Since this is a very open and extensible way to deal with such data, it also holds the danger of disorganization and chaos. Therefore this page defines some rules and basic properties for dealing with such material-property-maps.

If the page is not a roadmap then that category should be removed. But it is not for me to make that call. Maybe ask here?: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewforum.php?f=10
