In Wikipedia, there is a separate installation for every language. I don't think that's the road that we'd want to go down, and I thought that a scheme had been devised, though I can't for the life of me remember what it was.
We tried setting up something that would do it this way and I think the amount of maintenance required is too high. I need to decide on something (finally) so we're going to go with how meta.wikimedia.org handles translations.
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta:Interlanguage_links
It works for wikis that don't have the absolute need for keeping languages on totally separate instances. It's just as much editing work. The only disadvantage is that page names aren't in the native language.
If this is a problem with anybody on the *infrastructure* side of things, please speak now. I'll be talking to the translators list soon.

This looks reasonable. Do we yet have a template for inclusion on translated pages that gives links into the other language pages? The meta page was a little fuzzy on the details of how that works - is it manually maintained content or does it somehow get automagically generated?

A template, {{other languages}}, uses a canonical list of languages that are available for a specific page. The languages are listed somewhere like here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Other_languages/Meta:In... I think it would be possible to have even more automation of it. So we will have one place where you add what language you have translated an article in -- compared to two with separate wikis (interlanguage links on each wiki page).

I guess I forgot to mention a time frame for copying and adjusting the template available at Meta-Wiki (which is under CC-BY-SA). I'm hoping to have this done in the next couple of weeks, depending on how many other things I need to get done around this time (especially with datanommer).

I found this page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Languages
Are these instructions still valid?
Thanks

For how we do it now, yes. For how we *want* to do it, no. I still need to send that email to the translators list...
