Thanks for the heads up. Could you share your HOWTO(if it's available in english), and I would be curious how did you managed the the translation process. I have some ideas, but I would appreciate any of your past experiences. So for example how do you recruit people, how do you split up the pages for translation, how do you review/merge the changes, I think you have some wiki for the common language (I mean there are some frequently used words, and you have to translate that consistently), how do you keep the contributors interested, etc. Tyrael
