Birthe, Good point. My desire to do this on a few occasions drove me crazy (sadly I stopped). I think we need some good coding guidelines for designers so they can prepare any solution to leverage the existing language tools in tiddlywiki, with the minimum impact and effort possible. At worst we could publish versions with computer translations and provide a method to native speakers to send back better versions. I companion program for translators that shows one language alongside another for each use of text with quick editing available would smooth the process and may even make translation fun.
If any one wants to do this I will provide research and design support.
