While it is not tool late, could you guys reconsider top-down localization approach decided on last meeting[1]? There are language specific things that will be be kept out of wiki only due to this policy. For example I don't see any reason to write article about use of Russian cryptography algorithms in Gentoo in any language but Russian. There is no need to have this article in English since nobody will read it. Another reason - reality is that most of people do not know English language. Why do you want to stop them from contributing? For quality control - we have translator teams or there are developers who know the language in question. Just find editors for every supported language and let them do quality control. [1] http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoo_Wiki:Meetings/2011-10-17 (see Log) WBR, -- Peter.
