With all due respect the state of meta main page is at a dismal state. Some
translations are over a year old in content. The goal of this endeavour is
to offer up to date info in many languages. Feel free to hop in to assist
with the effort. :)

Hoi,
The main page at
translatewiki.net is not less complicated imho. However,
it
has been localised and we know quite precisely what the state of the
translations is. We can pinpoint precisely what needs doing.
Thanks,

Few examples of the new meta main page in its templated form which allows
easier translation. Most translations are greatly outdated unfortunately
making them essentially useless. A divide and conquer strategy was
applied.

Oh, I was proposing something simpler than what I
had on my commons
userpage. Consider something like
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:White_Cat/Gen v
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:White_Cat/de
Translators only /care/ about the text rather than the style issues and
etc. It is difficult enough finding people who can translate but
expecting
them to understand complex use of html, templates
and etc is just too
much.
