Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your message.

yes & no.

They once worked (I remember using). Not sure which version (1.9, 2 or
3). So "yes", it's a feature, but it just so happens to be broken.
Thus "no".

As far as I know, the multilingual article feature was accidentally
broken while improvements to multilingual wiki were made. (they share
some code). The multilingual wiki is much more powerful as you can
track changes to translations.

That page is for big new features. Stuff like Tiki Accounting,
OrgChart, genealogy, etc. I like to see them as a great opportunity
for developers to try something new :-)

Multilingual articles is an extension/improvement on an (or two)
existing feature(s). If we start putting all the bugs & feature
enhancements requests, the page will become huge and it defeats the
purpose :-)

Yes, indeed, there should be a warning there. Can you add?  Also, can
you check with Tiki5?

Please note that doc.tikiwiki.org is not the place to detail a bug
report. That should be done on dev.tikiwiki.org  However, it can be a
good idea to put a warning about it (esp since it's a regression bug)
with a link to the actual bug report.

It's not always obvious where to put stuff, but we are building a
guide here: http://tikiwiki.org/Where Thanks for your help!

Best regards,

M ;-)
