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 InterWiki 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.
