I agree it's useless, but it doesn't hurt either. Since I'm currently [almost] the one who is keeping those links up to date when a page is created in a language, I intend to keep it as simple as possible. (usually, the author of a new page only updates the english version). For the same reason, I don't translate "translation(s)" : 1) I couldn't anyway. 2) Visitors interested in translated version wouldn't understand the word "traduction(s)" either ;) > For the moment, it's not really important, but maybe when translations > will grow, it could become inconvenient (space consuming).

It's easier to just copy and paste the same paragraph on all pages. Removing one link manually is prone to error, therefore it's sensible to do a preview, which is time consuming too. > I ask this question because I have corrected some pages and some ones > have been reverted and these links have reappeared. I happen to be the one. I do it because I don't want people to remove those links on one or two translations each time I update all translated pages. > What do you think of that? See above ;) tourjouman05 has added "FrontPageArabic" this week. I suggested that you update all the 21 translated pages. (Oh, BTW, don't go too fast as moinmoin would just consider it as abusing the wiki ! ) If you still want to maintain all those links on all pages your self, over a long period of time, then it's fine for me. Ok, and now the good news : Thomas Viehmann told me that he would work on implementing automatic content negotiation for moinmoin. Thanks for your contribution on the wiki.
