A spelling mistake from the Meph himself?!

Lol, anyway thanks for the reply. I guess if I post something irrelevant then I guess it would be removed so I have nothing to lose. ;)

The GyakutenWiki is for fangames, so... It should be alright, I think. Still, I'd specify it.

(Btw, your English isn't that bad. ;))

Well, I haven't decided about this yet. GW is originally intended for English speakers, and these people would probably consider articles in other languages to be a waste of place and time. And they would be quite right, the mediawiki structure isn't really made to organise multilingual content. :-/

Sure it is, it is easy to cross link wikis in different languages. Because everybody knows that it's stupid to try and run multiple languages in the same wiki.

Actually, there's another possibility: Maybe a French GW could be made?

Exactly my point. And at the moment, I don't think it's worth opening wikis for other languages.

Maybe if the interest in it grows, it'll be possible? If, say, 20 French users vouch for making a French GW, could they make it themselves?

...Maybe? Perhaps?

"Maybe" is the key word here ;-)

Anyway, I think it's decided. GyakutenWiki will only host articles in English. Sorry, Kalhas :wink:

Okay. No problem, I understand. :mia: (however I think it a shame for french trial that would bring other things. For exemple, I think to my next trial, with GreatMasterMo which is gonna be a kind of revolution among unprofessional trials. Revolutions that could be readapted, we hope, by english members. And there are somes, in my point of view, in french section)

Perhaps we could open up a translation feature? Speakers of other languages write their entries, submit them to us English speakers, and we translate and submit them to the Wiki in English. :3

Except that if the case itself isn't translated, it is of little interest to English users, I think ;-)
