We tried setting up something that would do it this way and I think the
amount of maintenance required is too high. I need to decide on
something (finally) so we're going to go with how
meta.wikimedia.org
handles translations.
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta:Interlanguage_links
It works for wikis that don't have the absolute need for keeping
languages on totally separate instances. It's just as much editing work.
The only disadvantage is that page names aren't in the native language.
If this is a problem with anybody on the *infrastructure* side of
things, please speak now. I'll be talking to the translators list soon.
Ian,
This sounds like a really good plan. There isn't any additional
instance of MW that needs to be maintained and pages can move around
without needing to move a bunch of translations as well.
My only thought is how does someone know that the page has been
translated into their language? Is there an addon of sorts that can
somehow make this notification better?
