Since the main Minetest website is built on DokuWiki, I would like to know if it's possible to activate the multilingual support on it and register users interested on its translation (I would like to this for Brazilian Portuguese). I registered minetest.net.br domain recently and would like to redirect it to main site, properly translated to Brazilian Portuguese.
What do you think?

There's no need for separate domains, we could just have <country>.minetest.net or minetest.net/<country>

Hi Calinou. The idea of registering the domain is just to avoid hijacking of it. The initial idea is to make it just a redirector to the main site.
And with DokuWiki we don't even need other urls. The user can select the language that he/she prefers (like on DokuWiki main site).

Why do you want to pay for an additional domain anyway? They want to take it, let them! One domain is more than enough.

Well, two messages about the domain and no one about the topic. :-)
So, just to remember what this is about: can we translate the main website or not?

I was concerned about the money being wasted, when it could feed a family in a certain region of the world...
