Hello Algardas,

that was exactly what I was thinking in the beginning too.

When I read your post I thought of another interesting solution: a scenario 
where each user can choose if and how many languages he wants to have articles 
in on one page. A Southafrican who speaks e.g. English and Africaans might want 
to have information in both languages and could also translate articles that 
exist in English into Africaans. Another Indian expat living in Southafrica who 
speaks Africaans and Hindi could then translate it to Hindi.

Well that still seems a bit further down the road than a fixed tri-ingual 
solution and even further away than an english only version.

But I will check out the table and custom markup solutions which might take a 
while since I'm still a bit stiff with this wiki things ;)

many thanks,
Torsten
