I think that'll be quite painful, as you have to move *all* pages and have to touch *each* link (afaics moving pages doesn't update references to the pages). > >One thing that would work well in this case, is if someone was to goto a > >page at wiki.centos.org/es/SomePage/ and find that the page does not > >exist, it should be possible to put in a message that says "this page does > >not exist, its not been translated into Spanish as yet, please check the > >main page at wiki.centos.org/SomePage/ > > via errordocument 404 or inside the wiki ?? The wiki doesn't know about 404. If you encounter a page which isn't there you get the option to create that page. So a 404 will never be thrown.

You'd have to have all pages in $LANGUAGE then (meaning mirror them into the namespace). If you don't then a user who reaches the german pages will think of the wiki as a place where nothing happens - because only the 4 german pages are there, and nothing else.
