If you are not a native speaker of a language, it might be worthwhile to access hitchwiki.org using Firefox and download the dictionary from [[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:3|Mozilla]] for the language in which you are writing your contribution, so that you can spell-check what you're typing. As for using UK or US spelling, I'd suggest to use US spelling, but feel free to voice your objections.

:: Good job. I asked some people in September about this, they wanted to talk about it. Never got an answer back, though. It looks now like they started a wiki back then, but it was not a success... strange. --[[User:Alex|Alex]] 16:43, 5 March 2008 (CET)
Hey, I thouhgt a lot about russian part of hitchwiki. I think we need main_page like in Finnish hitchwiki. But I don't know how to create it. :( Russian part should be devoted mostly to Russia and other russian speaking regions of ex_СНГ. Other russians travelled in other countries know at least elementary English, so they will be able update English part. Also I'm ready to create russian templates but don't know how to. :(
I looked at the list of maintainers of Russian part of hitchwiki. Hey guys are you really able to speak Russian? :) Should I join you in this activities.
: Sure, we could really need some help from real Russians ;) I just gave you admin rights on the Russian wiki. Feel free to change whatever you want. What kind of templates do you want to create? How do you exactly want the Main Page? Just ask here for whatever you need! There are a lot of people here around who want to help but don't speak Russian (like me). Also, maybe contact [[User:Platschi|platschi]]. He is admin as well and speaks at least some Russian. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 14:20, 4 November 2010 (CET)
::* Thanks a lot. Templates for news and events for main page. Then templates for cities, countries and personalities.
::* I think Russian version of hitchwiki should focus on russian speaking regions - Russia and ex_USSR countries. Then someone will translate it to english. I've found such design on finnish main_page http://hitchwiki.org/fi/Etusivu but all tags and commands are in finnish too. Is there is any translator for wikipages? Is there is any WUSIWUG editor for wikipages where I can just drag and drop elements? [[User:Siberian explorer|Siberian explorer]] 16:21, 4 November 2010 (CET):
::: Yes, it should definitely focus on Russian-speaking countries. Just put them on the Main Page, it's very easy.
::: About the templates: Just copy the code of English templates that look nice and change the content. I.e. this: [[Template:Cities_Germany]] should be easy to transform to Russian. Same for [[Template:News]] and [[Template:Events]].
::: There is no WYSIWYG editor yet, I'll see if I can install one.
::: But I'd also propose, you just play around and try it out. It's much easier than it looks like and you'll learn it while doing. Really it's no magic ;) If it doesn't look good, there are always some people watching and helping. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 16:31, 4 November 2010 (CET)
:Hey, I started some stuff on Russian hitchwiki. Can do the templates as well, but probably only in about two weeks, as I'm now hitching to Moscow :) Lets start it! --platschi
==Portuguese hitchwiki==
Its OK for me. I will go a time in the road (hitch here is hard), but i have a bit time for my blog and for here. What we need do?
== hr. => sh. ==
The [http://sh.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Serbo-Croation Wikipedia] uses sh. hr is for Croation. It's probably better to use sh for the Serbo-Croation Hitchwiki. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 20:33, 15 November 2010 (CET)
: Yes, I discussed that with [[User:Vrana|Vrana]]. The thing is, that serbo-croatian does not exist officially and the code sh is obsolete. So we decided to start a Croatian wiki (it's what she speaks), but call it Serbo-Croatian, to motivate people from Serbia, Bosnia and Montenegro as well. Also, Serbo-Croatian can be written in cyrillic, Croatian is always in Latin. Not an easy topic --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 23:20, 15 November 2010 (CET)
