Hi all,
First of all: it's awesome that now "outsiders" can ask for your assistance and knowledge, thanks a lot!
In the translators' coordination circle we had the idea to move documentation and language-specific information (different links, word blocks) to the wiki to make it more flexible and maintanable. My question to you is which location and structure for those pages you would suggest, given that the most basic information would be still fsfe.org/contribute/translators.
Translation of these pages is not necessary since English should be the default language for all translators.
Thank you for any recommendations!
Best, Max

People were asking on the quickml list already, so it's just logical step. Besides, people might stick around long enough to be able to help others :)

The first location that comes to my mind would be Teams/TranslationTeam, and then probably language-related sub-pages Teams/TranslationTeam/de or similar. This structure furthers the idea of a "translation team" vs. "the German/French/etc. translation team". (Which is my outside impression of the team)
The exact structure certainly depends on your workflows and other needs. I would keep the language-specific pages similar in content and naming schemes, but that's just my personal view.

…which suits us well because wikis are traditionally awkward to translate. (But I'm open to suggestions for establishing some methodology for translating parts of the wiki)
