[flashrom] Multilanguage wiki

[Carl-Daniel Hailfinger]

Hi,

right now the flashrom wiki is English-only and that is a big barrier
for many people who don't speak English well (or at all). There have
been offers by various people to translate key contents of the wiki to
Russian and German, and I hope we can integrate multilanguage support in
a way that works well and does not need excessive effort from translators.

There are two decisions we have to make:
1. URL schema for pages in non-English languages
2. URL schema for pages in English

Current schema is
www.flashrom.org/$PAGENAME

One of the possible future schemata is:
www.flashrom.org/$LANG/$PAGENAME
The old www.flashrom.org/$PAGENAME would redirect to
www.flashrom.org/en/$PAGENAME

Alternatives:
www.flashrom.org/wiki/$LANG/$PAGENAME
www.flashrom.org/$LANG/wiki/$PAGENAME
$LANG.flashrom.org/$PAGENAME
$LANG.flashrom.org/wiki/$PAGENAME

There are probably more options, but I wanted to start a discussion.
Feel free to suggest totally different schemata, I'll listen.

There is one big caveat: The planned schema needs to be implementable
with Mediawiki (and as few hacks as possible).

Regards,
Carl-Daniel
