Since September 2009, the [[Main Page|FlightGear Wiki]] supports multiple languages. From now on every article can be translated into any language, increasing the user friendliness for non-native English speaking users. | |||

Thus, if I wanted to translate the TerraSync article into Dutch, I would visit the [[nl/Terrasync|nl/TerraSync]] page.
