We actually want to setup a structure to support translations inside our KB, I just haven't had the time to design or implement it. My two concerns are how to properly display content in another language and how to keep translated articles up to date when the English version is updated (or vice versa). If you have any ideas, please let me know.
In the meantime however, as you'd like to just translate interesting documents, just go ahead, translate them, and it would rock if you'd point folk to the English version at the askmonty KB
Good luck with your translation work and tell us if you need any help!
Yes please let us know if there is anything we can do to help. I will
My suggestion to make it easier to keep the documents up to date is: to implement (if it does not already exist) a tool like Wikipedia. In Wikipedia you can see all old versions of every page. Then, there's a tool which compares the versions and shows what has been added / deleted / modified in the newest version. This way, translators should only add a note in the translated document like "Original document's version: 1111". I hope my suggestion will be of some use. try to work on supporting other languages soon since people are actually translating articles. Thanks! I'll start the translation in the next few days and I'll let you know as soon as I have something. Federico
