Having the Wiki be multilingual would be really nice.
I think this is the right extension?
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Translate
“The Translate extension makes MediaWiki a powerful tool to translate every
kind of text. It's used especially to translate software and to manage
multilingual wikis in a sensible way.
“The Translate extension allows for connection to a translation service and
can auto fill the translation for you. At the same time a translator can make
adjustments so you're not creating lots of pages with inaccurate
translations.”
Whoever is doing the Wiki, is this something we could add?
Or is there a better solution?
"Better" is a fuzzy word in this case. This extension seems to be for
getting some form of translated text in place with a minimum of work. The
result likely won't be as good as a competent translator working on it from
scratch (the temptation to retain things like not-quite-appropriate sentence
structure from the original language is always there).
The languages menu will have to be included in the wiki theme's sidebar,
but that's relatively trivial.

Would it help to provide instructions in other languages? I never cared
myself as I am lucky enough to read several languages, but i do know people
who would turn back if they don't find french...
