I'll do that, thank you.

I think that would be too idealistic. No chinese person had to reinvent marxism just because Marx was german, they just read Marx and then adapted it to China.

I think the same would be nice to PW. First translate everything so that our comrades that do not speak english can have the information, and then modify the existing pages to reflect the ideas of the people who speak that language.

Obviously, if the PW community doesn't like this, I won't force it. But I think that growing each language independently would discourage people to contribute at first, since only people who come explicitly to contribute would visit a website without content.

edit: Also, there is no reason to translate pages about things that aren't relevant to portuguese-speaking countries, so I don't plan on doing that.

edit2: I forgot to mention that in general most people in the 3rd world do not speak english, so they rely heavily on translations of works to their languages.
