I have the problem that I would like to send the website to my friends, but they are from Germany, and so they don't understand what's on this website and how to install Matrix.

policy:

  • don't translate the server list; my copy has to be canonical (also turn off the action)
  • but you should recommend some servers in the guide, relevant to your cultural context
  • in fact you can put anything that helps matrix grow and is relevant to your cultural context (as long as i know what your changes are)
  • you're not obliged to use the theme

To clarify, is the proposition to make a website per language or to add i18n to the english one?
