Hey Ziko

We have moved our medical translation efforts, such that MDWiki is our
starting point.

https://mdwiki.org/wiki/WikiProjectMed:Translation_task_force

1) We have also encountered a reference template issue with CTX but have
built a work around. Our issue appears to relate to <ref name=ABC/> and the
same reference being used multiple times. What we do is we simply expand
all the metadata for each instance of the reference before feeding the text
into CTX. And then we have a bot that shortens all the instances of a
reference back to one.

2) One of the benefits of using MDWiki is it allows us to keep references
in the lead and use language that is easier to understand, but not be
forced to use language as easy as Simple English. It has also allowed us to
automatically generate a leaderboard to track progress and impact of our
translation efforts. Additionally we only encourage people to translate the
leads as that is only that has been medically checked for accuracy.
