I would like to see one planet per language. The optimum would be a per user-control somewhere in the profile settings to choose the languages the user wants to see on one planet maemo page. For me this would be english + german blogs which could be mixed. > On Mon, 2007-11-12 at 15:32 +0100, ext Christian Otto Stelter wrote: >> Hi! >> >> Rafael Proen?a wrote: >>> Now that it came up, I recently noticed that there are not many (if any) >>> localized versions of the Maemo community resources.

Information for end users? Translations of the wiki would be very useful also for non power users. At least for the stuff suitable for non power users. Pointers to language-specific content on the intro would page also be nice. May be a link to a small site map page. Or a row of flags which lead to a corresponding language site overview. btw. http://maemo.org/community/wiki/wikireorg/ leads currently to an infinite loop. > Check first the nokia.com pages, there is a big load of content relating to > the tablets (and also to the OS) and these pages are multilingual - yet > mostly unknown even between tablet regulars.

A localized download section would make sense when there is more localized software out there. Then a rating for the need user experienced (novice / advanced / expert) would also be nice.
