[geojquery] Wiki content language

Hi Crischan,

geojquery will be english only, except someone wants to translate it. 
The reason why the content is originally available in German and Spanish 
as well is the FOSSGIS. At the German conference a huge number of people 
met, so it made sense to publish it in German as well. There was also 
Jan, who wanted to get the idea of geojquery to the SIG Libre conference 
in Spain (which was a few days after the FOSSGIS), therefore he 
translated it within minutes into Spanish.

Cheers,
   Volker
