Good question Paul. I wonder how is it done in
Wikipedia. Is it one wiki
or several? Which one is more suitable for my needs?
What I am tasked to do should hold matching, but may not be identical,
content in different languages - like what Wikipedia appears to me.
Each "lang".wikipedia.org has its own separate mediawiki installation and they
are all connected using some sort of interwiki links (which IMO is the most elegant
solution but needs to be configured -- don't know how yet, I'm sure it's on
mailing-list and
google)
on the contrary,
www.mediawiki.org is only one mediawiki installation but you can access
different languages using sub-pages (
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki,
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki/fr,...) (which is the easiest solution, no
configuration changes are needed)
