Forum:How can i make a multi-language wiki?

Hey, a guy asked me if it's possible have multiple languages on my languages. He'll translate if it is.

What do you guys tell me? Is it possible to have a multi-language wiki?

 * It's possible, but probably better to have them on separate wikis and link between, as therefore the different langaguges will have a different Recent Changes page, and you can have a different language skin for each language you want. See Help:Interlanguage_links for info on this. If you really want to have 2 languages on the same wiki, I'd contact staff, and ask them to set up another namespace for the language (so articles about something in German would be in a different namespace than articles in English, for example). I'd strongly recommend you don't have multiple languages on the same wiki, however. -- Random Time  20:51, August 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * The editors and admins of a wiki decide these things. Wikia is in many languages, and has a worldwide user, editor, and reader base. On the wiki where I am an admin I am happy when people edit. So I try not to get in their way. For example; English and Spanish are both used on these pages:
 * http://cannabis.wikia.com/wiki/Lima,_Peru
 * http://cannabis.wikia.com/wiki/Mexico_City,_Mexico


 * If people want to start their own wiki in a separate language that is OK too. It may be a lot more work than they realize though. --Timeshifter (talk) 19:48, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

Wikia sites that are multilingual

 * Familypedia (the Genealogy Wiki) has articles (including "welcome" pages) in different languages and organized ways of linking them. — Robin Patterson (Talk) 11:15, August 13, 2010 (UTC)
