Multilanguage
The Problem
I'm not English native speaking, but to make the world accessible to as many people as possible I try to do everything in English. This means I first write everything in German and then I translate it. Since I have the German text to I would like to use it too.
Workaround
I will make a copy of the Word and fill it with the German content. The problem here, after I have created the copy, I will need to add all the new content manually (create an article, etc.). Lots of work to keep the two worlds in sync.
New feature
It will be possible to save an article in multiple languages. Meaning: When I create content I can create a copy (formatting, picture, the original text as Reference, etc.) under a new language code and fill in/translate the text in the other language. The World will then also need a language switch in the top-right menu bar.
Notes
- This is only for the content. The application as such would still be in English.
- You may limit the number of translations. Make it dependent on the guild rank
- When creating a translation page, also create a to-do to translate the content, or when changing a page creating a todo for the update of the translation page
Follow up
Other suggestions from the past, covering the translation topic ...
IN-ARTICLE TRANSLATION AND LANGUAGE CHANGE - Accepted as "to be discussed"
SWITCH FOR ALTERNATIVE LANGUAGES PER ARTICLE - Accepted / low priority

The Team's Response
As mentioned by the OP this topic is already in discussion - there are MANY suggestions of how to implement this and it needs quite a lot of thinking to proceed. That is why it is not implemented just yet.
