Hi, Jorge,<div><br></div><div>The FOSS4G 2012 Beijing Wiki in Chinese language is necessary, but less important for Chinese people comparing with people from other countries. Chinese native speakers get used to visiting a website other than visiting Wiki. It's a different user habit. </div>
<div>So, considering the website construction is urgent, maybe we need to first finish website construction, and then update wiki in Chinese language.</div><div><br></div><div>Best Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Susan</div>

Hi Susan, Hi all,<br>
<br>
In the previous years, the majority of participants are from the organizing country. So, we expect and we need a lot of local people interested in FOSS4G, in Beijing.<br>
<br>
Since English is no so easy for the majority of chinese people, I would like to suggest, this year, to keep the conference site [and the wiki] in two languages (English and Chinese), to guarantee a better communication with the locals.<br>
<br>
Since Susan is a Chinese native speaker, I would suggest her to start updating the wiki and the website in two languages, if possible. The wiki already supports Chinese and if you need some additional modules on the website, it's always easy to install/configure them right from the beginning of the process.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>

P.S.<br>
I know I'm asking too much, but we might need live translations in FOSS4G 2012, but we can decide that later (probably this already have been addressed by the local committee).<br>
