Yes, it is, at this specific perspective I had not thought That sounds like a lot of work. not really, please look here two points: 1. I do not fully translate everything, but only the summary statements 2. Our work takes place in reality, that is, not all local projects will create translations, but this is not yet so bad. For example, see the Release Notes, there only translations for a part of the recorded languages will be created. But if you want to do it... The English original of news should of course be published in the blog, the translations (eg German) but imho can remain in the wiki. I have the structure in the wiki something customized. There is now for (de) the design area: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=40509335 the week is first deleted and then filled with new content. Also, there is the area for the publications, which is an archive of publications at the same time: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=40509513 Note: I would also equal to post a link to the staging page with the entry in the German website, but the Apache CMS currently seems not to work. Another possibility to consider: We could include native language stories directly in main wiki page. For example, the 100 million download post had coverage in Italian and French. They could be included directly. If there is an interesting thread on a native language mailing list or forum, that could be added, etc. So the main post could be international and multi-lingual, but not translated. That's right, but please look realistic: AOO is a meritocracy project and only the work done, the concrete people want to do. Of course, many things would Other desirable, but this discussion is theoretically as long as there are no people who want to do the work concretely.
