A discussion of multilingualism and multiple language/charset/translation support on wikis. Examples from MWiki, TING and Craowiki (many langs in one; hiding lang content). Examples and contrast from other large orgs : Esperanto, EU, the UN; big NGOs and non-profits. Tools and pending breakthroughs: Google's new autotranslation engine, improved open source translation gadgets; ideas tried out on Meta, Commons, ideas for Universal Wiktionary.
