Does anyone here work with multilanguage Wiki content? Are there any extensions that ease the pain of translating Wiki articles?
On the OpenOffice.org Wiki we have a lot of languages in use. Various community members pop in, see a favorite page they want in their language, and they start translating. Unfortunately a lot of these well intentioned translations are done directly in/over the original content. I'm trying to find a way to make this... ummm.. easier. Say for example an extension that adds a "Translate this page" link next to the "Edit" link, and then presents the user with a selectable list of predefined languages. Pick a language, and a new page is started with the right article naming (something we can do on the OOoWiki due to article naming styles we use) and copies the original text into the new page edit box ready to be edited/translated. OK, that might just be a dream extension, but... maybe something that allows side by side views of articles while translating... or... I've been poking around looking for info on how people manage this on other Wikis, but haven't really turned up any useful info yet... does someone here have any suggestions?
