You could set up a translation request through Meta, or do it somehow on Betawiki (although maintaining and updating the website translations might become tiresome - Betawiki should work with the elements of the books). (If you go with the community approach, you can let the translation community decide, which languages to target first... [on the other hand the Meta-Wiki has set up 3 priority groups for languages to be translated to; you could always start with "group 1" languages and move on to the other groups or based on the mere availability of a complete set of translations in a given language]) Best regards, Bence Damokos > > > Thanks, > Heiko > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mwlib" group.
