Would it be possible to translate the pages ?

I guess that a lot of people would be interested to have the articles in their native language for what ever reason.

It's a good idea is theory but in practice, it could cause issues. This is because of the fact that keeping an article the same in both English and another language is tricky. Every time an edit is made on the English article, it needs to be reflected on the second/third/fourth article that is in another language.

With that being said, I think the basics could still be translated to atleast give a reference for those who might find it a bit easier reading in their langauge. Better see what foyle has to say.

Are you asking about a page that lists articles that need translating or a page that lists topics that need to be documented?

if you are asking about a translation list, that is easy to do, my point is that you just need someone willing to translate the articles and keep them updated.

Er ... I understand that I am asking plenty questions at the same time, but on the topic of Languages:

1. Are we planing on translating the articles for widering the audience and provide an easier way for non-english speakers to find usefull information?
2. Is there an option to attract the attention of the contributers, requesting a new article/translation?

Are internet translators really that bad? I know I've been able to get through text that has been translated to English.

Then again, I see no real problem with a translated page leading from the original. Just someone has to translate them.

What languages are needed? (please list)

Online translations are terrible, actual people are alot better, or doing a word for word search, rather than translating sentences.

I'd say that I can see at least the following as first batch:

German,
Dutch,
Polish,
French,
Spanish

I think I can provide French (to a certain extend)
