internationalization
TikiWiki is an international project that offers translations of the user interface into many languages. The standard interface is in English , but TikiWiki supports every language that can be displayed in UTF-8 . As of September 29, 2005, TikiWiki has been completely translated into eight languages and 90% or more of the other five languages are available. Translations are available for a total of 35 languages. A list of languages and their current translation progress is available on the TikiWiki website.
There is also a German translation, from version 6 onwards (i.e. since autumn 2010 at the latest) this is almost 100% and therefore complete and up-to-date. The translation of new functions into German is usually still in the development phase.
The community has a small but helpful German-speaking user group or German language user group.
Translations for menus and your own adjustments can easily be carried out by yourself; there are a number of resources in the software and in the community such as: B. a translation assistant and a dedicated website for translations of the software into the various languages.
