Hi!

It will be available when a committer commits (transfers) that translated
content from the translation repository (the one Weblate uses) to the
documentation repository.
You can always open  PR in bugs.freebsd.org to ask a committer for it or
you can ask here too :-) (I rather use bugzilla though).
