== multi-lingual articles ==

As Second Life, and thus the SL Wiki is a multi-lingual community, some structure to translates articles should be implemented.

This is my proposal.

# Create the English-language article in [[foo]]
# Create translated versions of the article in [[foo/lang-code]], where "lang-code" is the ISO 639 alpha-2 (or possibly the ISO 639-3) language code for that language, e.g. [[foo/es]] or [[foo/spa]]

=== Examples ===
* [[GUIA_SL_FAQs]] moves to [[Help:Second Life FAQ/es]] or [[Help:Second Life FAQ/spa]] <small>(and the german version to [[Help:Second Life FAQ/de]] or [[Help:Second Life FAQ/deu]] and so on)</small>
* [[GUIA - Gestos]] moves to [[Help:Gestures/es]] or [[Help:Gestures/spa]] and so on.
* [[Geld]] gets translated into english, with the translated version being put in [[Help:Linden Dollar]], and [[Geld]] being moved to [[Help:Linden Dollar/de]] or [[Help:Linden Dollar/deu]]

<hr />

If enough people agree with this proposal, I would suggest we keep to the Help articles to begin with- this will give a highly focused sandbox for developing the processes for translating, moving and requesting articles to be translated. I'll also go into more detail with the ideas I have for '''Project:Internationalisation'''.

I think it's a given why the English language version of an article should be the "root" article, although if anyone disagrees or would like my opinion on the matter, feel free to say so! :-)
