I'm only asking because someone created the same wikia but in Russian. I know that people with Chrome have a message from Google asking if they want a translation. No, I don't think there's a translator built onto the Wikia. You'll have to use an external source to translate,  but using the google translator, only translates for the individual and not for other users on the Wikia. OK, right, Jesus, are we OK with having a russian version of our wikia? it's here. Should we then create our wikia in mulptiple different languages? Yeah sure. If there are Russians out there who are willing to actually make the wiki look good and contribute, then heck yeah. Although in the new wiki we have, I don't know how we're gonna add the interlanguage links since we don't have source mode anymore. OK, I was just thikning that if we have one wiki where we can allow multiple users to view it in their own language it would be great instead of having multiple different wikias for the same thing in multiple different languages but now I think aboiut it more, it sounds great. Yeah you could make a suggestion to the staff about having one wiki where it gives people the ability to view it in different languages because right now Wikia doesn't have that function. We will, unfortunately, have to make more wikis. And It's a page of its own and all the content from the English version has to be added onto the language ones in their language. Like the russian one, needs a lot of work and one person can't do everything. Yea, I know, I'm currently trying to help them out with names and the correct words, when I translate the page I can see the words that are wrong and can translate everything through Google, it's not the most accurate thing, but I'm trying to help, since the wikia doesn't have a translate button. I'll definitely make a suggestion. The suggestion is here. The thing with the suggestion is that it'd be a lot of work. It'd be like making google translate. But I feel that it would be very effective, because then we wouldn't need to make the wikia all over again from scratch in a different language. It'd be better if, let's say it's created in another language, that the wikia theme/style remains the same, but the pages translate to another language. So everything remains the same, except the language. That would be really great instead of creating multiple wikis in different languages and then having a different theme to the original one. I've seen many wiki's where the language wikis are different in style to the original and it just looks messy. Like The 100 for example: This page is the original (English) and this is the Spanish version. You see the difference? It's really inconvenient that one has to create the wiki again in another language without the theme and style moving to the wiki in that language.

Did you understand all that? I kinda just rambled on...lol
