My english is too bad to write in it. I belive there are many people who is hard to read and understand the articles written in english.

IMHO, the best variant is to create something like on wikipedia.org. I mean http://ru.wikipedia.org , http://en.wikipedia.org .

That's a good point, but also realize that the majority of us use English on these discussion boards. English is the common language amongst us.

Of course, chase will have the final say - it's his server and his board.

yeah as if my russian is perfect keep to english most of us understand and by reading it a lot so will you. Otherwise we could switch to papiamento.

Alternatively, if you think there's an audience for it, work with someone who can speak good English and Russian and provide your own translation of the wiki for posterity...

Look. If we had two wikis for two languages anyone who can speek both could add missing articles to one wiki by translating article from another. It is pure cooperation.

Like every wiki idea, it will work - if there are enough people participating.

Personally, I believe if you can't communicate in English with some skill, you'll have problems in any kind of software engineering, let alone a highly technical field as OS development. And that's coming from a German, who enjoys his countries' excellent translation industry.

I'd like the wiki content available in every language. If fact some transalations have already started if you look at the links on the foreign language page links. For now what it comes done to is the fact that I don't understand languages other than English. If I host it I want to be able to understand what I'm hosting or have one of our moderators that will. Also the wiki is under a good deal of flux right now so a translation effort would have trouble keeping in sync.

You can always work on non-english pages under your User page and ask for help translating to english on this forum.

I don't mean to sound rude, But the majority of the members here speak English..

If one wants to find a similar site.. Isn't http://www.osdev.org/wiki/OSDev_%28foreign_language%29 a good start?

It appears that the original poster already contributed in his native language - Can someone be bothered to translate that or should we do something else with that?

Perhaps it should go on his/her user page...

OK...

HAL is a abstraction layer between the physical PC hardware and the software. HAL is a part of the operating system. It's task is to allow instructions from high level programming languages to communicate between the low-level components (e.g. directly hardware).

It seems http://wiki.osdev.ru is the thing I search for. But there's no correct links on it's home page. I'll write to them forum. Maybe they will fix it.

LOST, all fixed (mod_rewrite handling problems).

Sure. Does anybody speak Slovak or Czech here?
I agree with Brynet-Inc, most people are speaking English...
