:''Please leave your questions and request related to Hitchwiki in other languages. If you want you can write in French, German or Spanish.''
----
==Spelling==
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.
==-1 articles?==
: Unfortunately, it is not possible to use completely shared repositories. But you can define one external repository for each wiki. So we could the English one as a global repository, because it has the most images. Would be cool if you could ask the guys from wikimedia commons. Or maybe their repository is already open for third-party wikis? --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 20:42, 10 September 2007 (CEST)
::Alright, I configured that. You can now use images from the local wiki, but also from the wiki. If an image exists in both wikis, the local version will be displayed. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 22:47, 10 September 2007 (CEST)

:Just ask [[User:MrTweek]], he's the Admin of the website. Would be also great if all those Russian contributors then translate their knowledge to the English hitchwiki :) We're still missing a lot of information on [[Russia]] :) But thanks for sure for your contributions so far.

::I would love to start a russian Russian hitchwiki. The only problem is, that I don't know anyone who speaks russianRussian. It is important to keep an eye on a wiki to avoid spam or other unwanted content. So, if you are willing to be the administrator for the wiki (or know someone who would do it), just let me know, and I'll set it up at once ;) It's really not much work, you just need to check the content maybe once a week. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<small><sup>[http://http://www.liftershalte.info/ site], [[user talk:MrTweek|wikitalk]]</sup></small> 13:08, 3 March 2008 (CET)
:::I am a native Russian speaker - while I would not be able to add a lot of stuff on Russia & former USSR (I have only hitch-hiked in the UK), I would be able to watch the wiki for unwanted material --[[User:Lnx|Lnx]] 16:16, 3 March 2008 (GMT)
==Portuguese hitchwiki==
I'm a Brazilian Hitchhiker, and native portuguese Portuguese speaker. I think there is very little material about hitchhiking in my language. I can translate articles get my language, and I know that some hitchikers hitchhikers are now on the roads of Brazil and South America, which could also help. Even with specific information about Brazil and South America. What you think of opening a pt.hitchwiki.org?
: Yes, we could do that. However, it's important to have someone to look after it regularly, at least to avoid spam, but also to avoid spamming. So, if you want to be the admin for it, I will start one. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 15:13, 30 July 2008 (CEST)
Its ok 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?
