-Our current approach to face this: + 
-  * the documentation will be written in german language only +=== manual translation === 
-  * the documentation will be checked for autotranslators working "properly" +Available translations are indicated by a highlighted "language iconand should be shown automatically, when the browser language is detected accordinglyTranslations can also be switched manually when clicking on the "language icon"if highlighted.
-  * **non-german users shall try to "auto-translate" the wiki pages with "Google Translate"**. There are plugins out here for most browsers! (or let know, if not ;-) ) +
-  * **if auto-translation is obviously wrong, please let us knowWe are willing to change the german text to something that can be translated easily!** +
-  * if there is the need (and one is willing) to translate wiki pages manuallythen this can be also doneBut this will need a person to translate and maintain these pages, so we will choose carefully when going down this road+
