Hello,

if it's only on the main page, you can write, in [[Main Page]] :

[[Main Page in Afrikaans]]

your english main page text, with links to [[one english page]] and [[another one]].

and in the page Main Page in Afrikaans, you write your text in afrikaans with links to afrikaans pages.

If on EVERY page you want a link to the page in the other language you can use this extension : http://www.art122-5.net/index.php/MediaWiki_multi-Language_management_with_t...

it adds a tab on top of your page where you define what is the translated page name. With this you can manage several languages (on one of my wiki, I have 3).

*BUT* these solutions don't change the "interface" words, like "my preferences", "upload file", "recent changes"...

2008/7/8, Sarel Wessels swessels@rinsar.co.za:

How would I go about setting up my wiki in 2 languages. Is there perhaps a manual or help page which can help me?

I did check on the website, but didn't actually find what I was looking for.

I want the user to have an option on the main page to have it in English or Afrikaans, with English the default language.

Thanks in advance.

(I'm also a bit new to the wiki-stuff.)

Regards,

Sarel
