Thank you all for your input. The conclusion is that it is not worth the 
effort to translate the wiki pages. It is also useless to translate the 
main page whilst the linked pages are still in English.
Instead, loco teams may decide to copy/translate pages and put them on 
their own site. On the English wiki main page, or on a separate page, 
information about, and links to localized documentation can be added.
