Okay, cool. The thing that's bothering me the most right now is that there doesn't seem to be enough people behind this. However, I recently came across a group called the Wikia Language Brigade that seems to specialize in this very field, but I'm reluctant to bother them too much about this. I'd say to start working on translating once we get enough people to translate.

For aims, I think we should translate everything. Or at least as much as we can translate. The thing to work out would be what should be prioritized. It would be something like, main SiIvaGunner page first, major memes second, then lore, then different classifications of rips (mashup, melody swaps, etc), and then everything else. As for why we're doing this, I think it's important to have content like this accessible to as many people as possible. Not being able to speak a certain language shouldn't prevent someone from accessing content that they would be interested in. Plus, having a larger audience for SiIvaGunner could result in more contributions for the channel and everything surrounding it.

For principles and guidelines, I'm not entirely sure. With things like rip titles, it really depends on what language we're talking about. I think how certain terms have been translated into other languages in the past is an important part of it, but the best thing would probably to leave it up for people who speak that language to decide.

I'm not sure what we would do for a roadmap. Would we create a brand new version of the wiki from scratch with no pages beforehand, or would we begin by just translating individual pages one at a time and have them just as links on the original page and then create the wiki after there's enough pages for it?

I think we should also have a section dedicated to translating the wiki, for asking questions, and for contacting other people. So probably just a new section on the forum, but like the forum would also be connected to the forums on other language versions of the wiki, if that's even possible.

That's about all I can think of right now. How about you?
