In former iterations of the website we had the ability to translate all pages using a content management system. We only had a decent translation in German, a couple of pages in French - and all were constantly outdated. I do not think the feature was/is worth the trouble - there are just too few non-english speaking community members.

Yes, there are few non-english speaking community members. But how will they come to us if we don't provide them pages in their language ? I don't know what is the best solution, but we certainly can do something.

Maybe we could go with the description and the download page only? Busy indexing nil values

These two pages are a good starting point. Maybe the game presentation need to be translated too (because it's the first page we see when the arrive on the website).

Just for be clear: if someone do a translation, the translation will be the default page for users with same language? Or with a flag icon? Cause if it's not directly accessible, it's less interressting. Edited: 2015-12-31, 13:20

I don't think it could be directly accessible. An icon flag is the only solution I have found for the moment.

I thought of a statement on top of a page like "This page is also available in: francaise, dutch, german, ..." where the language name is a link to the localized page. Of course icons of flags are also doable. The content of the main page is hard coded but if you localize it's content to a new wikipage it is no problem to add such links in the main page. Just ask for doing so when you are ready
