Stephan, I totaly agree: I  prefer a complete translation (except the 
references to the original pages or some english wikiwords in brackets) and 
if possible for all the docs. The part with the admin I wrote because some 
posts before there was the argument, that it would better for admins to use 
some words as original wikiwords. So again: I prefer translated words, even 
for special words like "WikiWords" or  other that might be used in German 
text as well. If such a translated special word needs to be explained you 
could always add the english in brackets, e.g. "WikiWort" (WikiWord) .

ok, now I know your confusion Hans ! I simply cut + paste the existing 
translated docindex of v2 and did not check. So the link was copied as 
clear text - I didn't noticed that !
