I've been talking with Greg about adding translations.

MediaWiki can handle UTF-8, so adding non-English contents is OK. However, many users may lack fonts to display them correctly(try Japanese contents example in Greg's page), even if contents are displayed right people can't read them.

So we need to separate translated articles from main categories. Also we need to name it in a way that shows it's not in English.

My idea is adding a category to each language(e.g. Category:Japanese), and naming translated article with a sign (e.g. ":jp"). Also in time we'll add links (perhaps in the form of small flag images) to each translated article from the original.

What do you think about it? --RumikoHoshino
