[Foundation-l] Fwd: Pt-Portuguese Wikipedia

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
Having two wikipedias for the same language is not allowed within the rules
of the language policy. The premise that an article on the
pt.wikipedia.orgis in Portuguese Portuguese is a fallacy. It would be
the same as stating
that every article on the English language Wikipedia is in American English.
It is not.

Milos in his reply is looking for a way out of this conundrum by technical
means; effectively a tool that translates from one form of Portuguese into
the other. Such a solution is for instance in use at the Serbian Wikipedia
where the language is transliterated from Cyrillic into Latin script and the
other way around.
Thanks,
     GerardM
