      As discussed on https://lang.moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=8604 I would like to ask to keep the translation documentation in MediaWiki, e.g. move it back to the users documentation where it was from July 2010 until July 2014.

      I have the following arguments to propose this:

      • Translators are not developers, therefore the process described above might be a daily thing to do for a developer, but not for a translator.
      • Adding useful contributions to the documentation will therefore happen a lot less then now, because of the longer process.
      • Small corrections in the documentation, updated / improved workflows, bright ideas might not end up in documentation anymore.
      • All credits to contributors for the current documentation are gone.
      • All history of the documentation is gone.
      • All though Moodle translation contributes to the Moodle LMS code, it is not really part of Moodle development.
      • There is no reason, nor benefits for Moodle translators  - just change and added complexity to maintain it.

      The pages are https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Translation and all linked pages.
