Geolocation isn't the answer.
Good to know someone agrees with me on the Geolocation thing. It's my biggest pet peeve on the web next to Internet Explorer and its inability to deal with CSS standards :-P
Yes, that works well for me. I've noticed most wiki software seems to pick up the interface language immediately. It makes me feel at home in wikis I'm visiting for the first time. :)
That's good to know. I haven't tried to work on the Wiki in anything but English.
an effective language bar like that avoids a lot of problems.
I am seeing it being used in a few places. I have changed a few pages myself.
I find that if there are several translations of a certain page, it is best to create a template for that specific topic. In the template you add the InterWiki link syntax for each language the Wiki page is translated into, and then all you need to do is insert the template link in each translated page. Then as new translations are added, you add the InterWiki link to the template and all pages with that template are automatically updated with a link to the new language. This is how it is set up on the Main Page [1] and on the Extensions [2] page.
It would be interesting to know. I wonder what the Wikimedia folks do about this.
I have posted a question on the MediaWiki users forum. Have to wait and see if there is any reply.
