I've looked at the Translate extension, but.. it really doesn't seem to server the purpose. Maybe some clarity.... on the OOoWiki, there are two levels of translation happening: 1. The organized translations that export wiki pages, convert to po or xlif and run the content through a formal translation process/tool using translation memories etc. 2. The ad-hoc translations that are done on the fly by OOo community members. The second one is the problem area. Community members are, through lack of experience and knowledge, translating directly in the source page overwriting the original content in the process. What I'm looking to do is to make the process more... obvious I guess... thus my "dream" extension that adds a "Translate this page" link at the top next to the Edit link. > I've also had some success using the ProofreadPage and DoubleWiki > extensions, which allow side-by-side display of a wiki page with an image > of a page. Hmmmm I might have to take a look at that. Another extension I'm hoping to implement is FlaggedRevs... it's not the right solution for the translation issues, but... it might help limit the unintentional damage done by well meaning community members.
