I just wanted something simple to translatte a single page (or a few pages), not the entire wiki. I'm not even sure it is a good idea to have fully multilingual wikis, in most cases I would go for a different wiki for each language. That said, I think it is an interesting idea, so I'll take a look when I have the time. Thanks for your comments. --Jordà
