	The new pages (articles and templates) that have been created for translating help for LDS.org apps use categories with subpages. In general, I think that's a good approach. It's much better than the approach taken by Meetinghouse Technology pages, where all the translations were lumped into the same category (for example, see [[:Category:Meetinghouse Internet]] and see how ugly it is to have 10 versions of many of the pages).

With this approach, the Spanish Newsletter calendar articles will be nicely grouped in the the [[:Category:Newsletter/es]] category, with no clutter from pages in other languages.

 Why do we have a step telling us to create a redirect? It seems to me that once we use the <nowiki>{{Other languages}} and {{DISPLAYTITLE}}</nowiki> templates, we should not need a redirect at all. Am I missing something? [[User:Knaptonks|- Ken]] 15:51, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
