Translation
Yea, im sorry, but i thought that if I put the translation there there would automatically be 2 versions and the user could choos between the languages.
I find it very helpful to translate sites, because Bethesda have a big community in Germany too and there are sure a lot germans who can not speak or read English, but want to take its part in create new content.
If the languages would be implemented someday, i would translate some sites if you want that.
So dont worry, i will only translate somthing if the languages are implemented.
Greetings from Germany

- I'm not sure how, or even if, translations are going to be handled on this wiki, but please don't overwrite existing content with content in another language. If translations should be hosted here, they should be hosted alongside existing content.
