Any translated wiki article that can help spread the word about openSUSE to 
non English speaking people. English is among programmers almost precondition 
to learn anything and work, there is much more those that don't know it and 
the only way to reach them is their native language.

We are attempting to clean en.o.o and partial translations are one of the 
problems. They are useful for openSUSE, but they should have own home server, 
not to be interspersed with articles in English. You can't see similar thing 
in any other language wiki. Ditto my questions in a first post.

It is not important for every article, but we never established rules how to 
deal with it. The biggest problem for translators is Welcome page that 
contains parts that are changing from time to time, but having translated 
announcement and not related text is the same as start road construction that 
leads nowhere. It makes no sense.
