+== Multi language SMW ==
+(From Temlakos on the mailing list regarding <http://creationwiki.org/ and http://creationwiki.org/fr/)
+Here's how I do it: As I have said many times before, I routinely
+declare all properties. And every declaration that is implemented in
+both languages, has the language-specific Interwiki prefix added, so
+that you can follow a property declaration from one language to the
+other and back.
+All that is involved is making parallel property declarations and
+placing Interwiki language links in each one.
+In general: a multilingual wiki is actually a family of wikis, each set
+up in its own language.
+The important part is to make sure that the SMW language files exist in
+each language in which you are planning to implement SMW. Right now the
+language support is a little thin, in comparison to the incredible
+multiplicity of languages on Wikipedia. So those of you who are trying
+to persuade Wikipedia to implement SMW across their project will have an
+immediate problem: you don't support more than a handful of the
+languages they use.
+...
+anyone who implements SMW in an unsupported language is going to have to
+write a language file. And make sure that his language is supported in
+SMW_Aliases.php and SMW_Messages.php.
