Hello everyone,
I am trying to setup a dictionary using MediaWiki and I was wondering what the best way is to go about setting it up as a multiple language dictionary (i.e. each definition has translations in 4 other languages). I have heard about the Ultimate Wikitionary which would be perfect, but I have to set something up temporarily until that has been developed. From what I understand from Wikimedia MetaWiki pages, the way to do it is to have separate installations for each language and using inter-Wiki links to make definitions link to their corresponding translations.
My questions are: am I correct about a multiple install being the recommended way to setup a multilanguage wiki?
Is it okay to do it using multiple installations on the same server? Or is it necessary to have a domain name for each installation?
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated, thank you, Andrew.
