Sorry if I confuse things...
+I shouldn't have crossposted on web and sysadm, but I wanted to inform/ask 
+both teams and I don't know, who reads which MLs...

+I think, we need some kind of "wiki team" to keep an eye on it. I would prefer 
+to have the contents of the "international" english wiki and the other 
+language wikis similar.
+Sure there will be sections which will be language/country specific (like local 
+events,...) but most things should be translated from one central point.
+
+So in my opinion the wiki team should decide all organizational things about 
+the wiki and it should keep an eye on the contents.
+Translations should be done by i18n people. I don't think it makes much sense 
+to have two different groups of translators in the project.

+O.k., not a problem. That would mean a second variable that changes between 
+the wikis, but it's doable without a problem.

+That's what I did on my test instance. I think it makes updating easier.
