Very interesting. OpenACS has a new wiki component that also supports
multilingual content, but we are still evolving the features for
handling connecting different languages for the same content. There is
a proposal we made for how to handle it internally in the database,
but I think that is the easy part. The challange is making the user
interface to support translation and synchronization when changes are
made.
