[Semediawiki-user] Multiple languages

[Alex K. <ak...@cr...>]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone out there had really good examples of an
international SMW instance with multiple languages, including properties and
forms.

I am interested in methods for maintaining a form's structure and array
mappings in a centralized location, but allowing things like the form name,
template call, content, etc. to be in different languages. This way, one
could maintain a single form but allow those changes to propagate among the
language versions.

And I'm interested in the same thing with properties... as in, allowing
different properties in the wiki to be equated with each other but
containing different text. For example, [[prop1::x]] is the same as
[[prop2:y]], since the meaning of prop1 is the same as prop 2 and the
meaning of x is the same as y (but are just expressed with different
characters). Any thoughts or insights on internationalizing the mechanics of
SMW are appreciated.
