Thats not the main point. Just wanted to say that wikis in other languages will not be a copy of the english one. And the prefix solution is not that optimal since a f.i. german speaker will only see sporadic german sites.

If I would have a wish for free I would like a lot the translation feature of the club. It is very handy and allows easy translation of posts. The only multilanguage support I found on the twiki-web is the translate-keywords plugin. In wikipedia phase III you put a special keyword at the bottom of the page and have then a link at the upper left corner like [francais|espanol|deutsch] depending on the languages that wiki-page is translated (Have a look here: http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en.phtml?title=Mandrake). But the last option is not optimal. If a translation is done and a change in the mainpage is done the translator should be notified, maybe the other way round would be usefull too. Furter it is more handy like in the club, if the content that will be translated will be filled in in the page to translate. This way all markup can be taken from the original and just the text be translated. A babelfish button for untranslated pages would indeed be nice too. Regards Steffen
