^Short intro: Version #6 in English is equivalent to version #18 in French. When a wiki page is edited, the other pages need to be updated. How do we handle this for translators and for visitors?^ Apparently, no "[http://www.wikisym.org/ws2006/wiki/comments/Paper%3E%3ETranslation+the+Wiki+Way|current wiki engines do not support the efficient creation and maintenance of such content]" This [http://lizzy.iit.nrc.ca/LizzyHelp/uploads/demo_of_multilingual_LizzyWiki_features.mov|video] from the [http://lizzy.iit.nrc.ca/CrossLangWiki/public/ywiki.cgi|The Cross Lang Wiki project] explains it all.

Well, this doesn't fully address the concerns, but does at least let language-specific page authors know when they ''need'' to update a translation (plus it seems like something easy to implement): #Author __A__ creates page __Foo__ in English. #Author __B__ creates page __Bar__ in Spanish. #Pages __A__ and __B__ are specified as translations of each other. As such, any time one page is updated, the owner of the other page receives a "translation notification" (similar to a "watched page" email).
