at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Calc:_FDIST_function there is again the problem, that someone exchanged the English text with a translation.


You are correct, but there seems to be a larger problem. Some 250 pages of Russian-language documentation are in the main space on the wiki, but should be in their own sub-section. Fixing the one page would be easy enough, but figuring where to put the translated page is harder ( = "too hard for me" ). Even making contact with the user is not much help, if we don't know what to say.

I will see if I can limit any further damage, but the fix will need Clayton's attention.

I've fixed the one page, moved the translated content to http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/RU/Documentation/How_Tos/Calc:_FDIST_function and emailed the user with an explanation of why I've moved his page and what steps he should take to translate a document.

I'm in the process of writing up a stack of Help pages on the Wiki, and will add Translations to the list. My first steps/experiments in the Help pages is to write-up a simple list of installed Extensions with descriptions/docs. See: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Help:Extensions

What we can do is work on a Help:Translations page and then broadcast it on the NLC and L10N mailing lists as well as maybe find a prominent spot on the Wiki Main Page to link it. I'll get that page started in the next day or so and let everyone here know (unless of course someone else wants to get started drafting that page :-) ).

On the 250+ pages of Russian text in the Main Wiki area (ie not in the RU subpages).... this is a big mess. I started in on getting some groups to move their language pages to the ISO Lang code Subpages (FR, JA etc) but that lost momentum at some point. This should be taken up with whoever is working on the overall Wiki cleanup. The process is simple (moving pages into each lang group), but the implementation is complicated... many pages to move, and then making sure that new pages end up in the right subpage structure (means communication in the various lang communities).
