Don't even think about calling it "Wissensbasis", it sounds horrible! Wikipedia translates "Wissensdatenbank", which I never heard but at least it is intelligible.

Also, I'm not sure if having the German version "JMEM" in the title helps, many Germans also talk about "YWAM" and using "JMEM" may imply that it is meant to exchange knowledge only within the bases in Germany.

Thanks for you comments. This is really helpful. What do you think about translating the basics of the mainpage and setting up a German translators team.

At first I thought: nice idea. However, as long as our number of translated pages is close to zero, a german mainpage would be misleading. So I think localizing the Mainpage would be the second step. (Also, translating < localizing. There is also the big question which articles are especially relevant for the German community, and which aspects may be local to German legislation, for example.) --Pitpat (talk) 09:56, 16 January 2013 (CET)
