Translatewiki.net doesn't seem to be much more usable to people who don't speak English, coming at it from the front page. Imagine you don't speak English, how do you suppose you go from http://translatewiki.net/ to a page with instructions or content in your language? One needs at least rudimentary English skills to be able to figure it out, which is an unsatisfactory solution for what is supposed to be an international project.

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, GerardM

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 Most translations are greatly outdated unfortunately making them essentially useless.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.
The feature you mentioned would indeed be a positive thing to keep
these
pages up to date. We could also have generic translations. For example
we
expect steward elections frequently, likewise we expect a wikimania
each
year. It would only make sense if these "current events" are templated
on
their own.

Might make sense.

Meta main page seems to be not very multi-lingual because it appears
to
be
difficult to update. Each translation is more or less outdated and
often
with an outdated/older style. I propose a template structure where
style
info is "removed" into a template and translations only deal with
words.
