Hello Jason,

I'm a little bit shocked by your message.
How should Geronimo find good acceptance when it is restricted to an english speaking community only?
It will be then always stay behind JBoss where the establishment of an international supporter base was very successful.

If it is difficult to synchronize the content then the product used to run the wiki is the problem not that members of the community want to use a different language then English.
The wiki content will never be stable enough to define a point when the translation should begin.
I think that I would be possible that there will be content in other languages with out a counterpart in english.

Hoping that my concerns are understood correctly,
Heinz

Wiki is meant to allow one person to go in and add content or change it... by having these language specific sections of the wiki it means that one person can not really do that anymore.

For example, I have absolutely no plans to update any of the KB items in any other language other than english... same goes for build documentation and other docs.

If we did want to add multiple languages, then we need a system that will handle switching the language and content based on the users browser, which confluence does not.

But even then I think that for semi-dynamic content like wiki pages... that this is a very bad idea and will almost always lead to the content getting out of sync.

I would much, much, much prefer that the english pages get cleaned up and have more quality content added, then to try and get the existing pages into more languages.
