Hi Tom,
This is what I mean when, in my comment below, I said: quote
It is impossible to translate all the wiki pages, but.....etc. unquote
If LoCo teams want to translate certain interesting pages and publish
those on their website's documentation pages, they will do it in their
own format. I do not think there are any copyright issues, because isn't
the wiki help documentation written under the Creative Commons License?
