hi, the translation is used to label the standard textfields in the infobox and the raw pages. with that information it is possible to create a basic version of a language wiki. the next thing is to translate content. maybe start with general pages or objects that are often used, or do it library by library. as I already said before you can also do that by using a database file http://www.parasitaere-kapazitaeten.net/Pd/pdobjects with that file it is easy to generate wikipages and import them on a scripting basis. you can also do it library per library. people can split the list and do it in parts. then you have to decide if you want english text in your pages or not.
there is no real standardized layout yet. some sections like inlets outlets... will appear in every page. we try to find a style that is similar to wikipedia; at the top a small sentence that explains the object, then some paragraphs about technical information, and then examples and more details about what you can use the object for.
I think that can be translated from the english pages from the wiki itself, but we don't have that yet. [msd] already has a lot of information.
marius.

joining in fast and putting their time+energy. It might be efficient if
someone in the english version did 1 article correctly, so that there's a
model where all should follow. Then all can know how to put their energy
into the process. (for that reason I tried to start the
