14 Actually, I don't see the point in having Gentoo Wiki pages in other languages
15 but English at all. Why? Quality of those will vary greatly.
16 I think such localized versions should be permitted only if they are 'literal'
17 translation of English version and if we keep all language versions in sync,
18 but we cannot really ensure this.
