Greetings websites team, my name is Daniel Cabrera, and I'm one of the members of the Spanish translation team. After Ian's great contribution related to the translation of wiki pages [1], we gradually began to work on it. As translated pages were increasing, we begin to think what a great idea would be to categorize them, so we can accelerate and simplify the process of finding them. And after tweaking a bit, we've found that this is possible by creating a Fedora sub-project category named 'Es' [2]. So, finally, the main purpose of this mail is to double check with you guys if this is the proper way to categorize our translated pages. I mean, perhaps you think that there is another - better - way for doing it, or perhaps you don't think that this is a good idea at all.

I look forward for your comments, best regards, Daniel Cabrera (es)

So what we can do is automatically add pages to a category based on their language, instead of manually adding a second category to every page (that can get messy).
You could add the category into [[Template:Autolang]]'s code. It's a bit of template soup, so if you'd like help, just ask.
I would rather have [[Category:Es translations]] (or something of the like) instead of just the language code in order to prevent confusion from arising on what it's for or where it comes from.

This would be perfect Ian, thanks a lot. And yes, I need help, so, if you don't mind guiding me trough the process, the Spanish team will be really thankful.

If it's OK with you, we'd like to create a category named "Spanish". Best regards, Daniel Cabrera (es)

Alright, this is on my todo list for tomorrow (Tuesdays and Thursdays I have somewhat lighter class loads). It shouldn't be too hard to generate something like [[Category:Spanish translations]] (I'd still prefer it to have 'translations' tacked on) because the language is dynamically generated in the template as well.
