WhatMotivatesPeopleToTranslateWikiContent

Why is it that Wikipedia is the only wiki community that has a thriving multilingual community? --AlainDésilets

http://wikitravel.org is multilingual and doing pretty well - at least the French and English ones. -- SebPaquet

Bonjour Alain. My motivation to maintain a PageTranslation index is that I've not any proficiency to speak explicitely and clearly in English. As a small HoneyBee in the WikiNow, I find very useful to understand some pages here and reuse them to propagate some nice original content elsewhere in the bigger wiki-dom. A multilingual link-language appears to be very useful. For example, I just picked with FairUse some content from Sunir extracted on MeatballBoard to imagine the future of a BarCampBank board. Hope Sunir will not be offended ? Let's say otherwise, I would have been completely unable to find out any other clear terms. -- ChristopheDucamp
