[Zdenek Chmelar]

zdenek reported a new issue against the project: `fedora-websites` that you are
following:
``
Hello

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Project_Wiki appears in English language only. There
is no way how to change the language.
If I compare it to https://getfedora.org/ for example, it is loaded in my language by
default.
Is there any way to fix this please?

Same as for #785, we don't own the wiki and I am also not sure how and IF the
translation process has already been set up in the new wiki. The old wiki used to be in
English only, you had to choose for other languages manually, if available.

For the wiki translated pages needs to be done by hand and the macro for languages needs
to be in place in the site. The documentation on how to translate wiki pages is here:

``
The translation macro (as described on the wiki above) is not applicable
for main Wiki page. That page is locked so it can't be eddited and language
bar can't be inserted.

There is a reason for that. You should ask either the blocker or the Council about how to
add translations to that specific wiki page.

Once there are translations, we can temporarily unlock the page to add the translation
bar. (Note that I don't have access to edit that page either. I ask Infra to unlock it
for me when changes are needed.)

I think there's value in being able to translate that main wiki page.

@mattdm So what are the next steps so that @zdenek (or someone else) can translate that
page?
Is raising a ticket with the infra team sufficient?

``
Since this is protected content, what about creating the protected pages elsewhere in the
wiki in the desired languages, and then once the translation team is happy, we can add the
wiki syntax to the main page. Would that work?

Thanks for rising the issue here zdenek :) (we had this, which inded needed some love
https://pagure.io/g11n/issue/50)

I wonder why it was not protected before and worked fine, did we had major issues that led
to strengthen access? Let's be optimistic: maybe this was only needed for the
migration and can be undone?

@jibecfed The protection for the front page wasn't introduced for the migration — it
was added in 2016 when we were being hit really hard by spammers. (Look at the changelog
from around that time to see the junk we were dealing with.)

@puiterwijk , @kevin — the wiki spam problem seems under control... knock on wood. Do you
think it would be okay unprotect and see what happens?

Also apparently I was wrong above and I _do_ have the power to remove the protection if we
decide to.

I tested something with mattdm, we don't have to unprotect this page anymore, but we
have old translations to take care about this.
As release is tomorrow, we decided to freeze this for a few days then notice the
translators so they can go and translate. We assumed people are getting ready for
announcements and other communication work.
Discussion will continue in https://pagure.io/g11n/issue/50
