Hi,
Let me put in another way:
I am up to lunch my English version of my site. How should I do that?
I was thinking in creating 2 different wikis within 2 diferent folders, and with 2 diferent databases:
www.my_site.info ==> folder my_site.info ==> Database www.en.my_site.info ==> folder en.my_site.info ==> Database_en
And, after that, what I should do to link each page to its correspondent translation?
Thanks a lot, mauro. ________________________________________________ Server: MediaWiki: 1.6.8 PHP: 4.3.11 (apache) MySQL: 4.1.20-max-log phpMyAdmin - 2.8.0.1
