[sldev] Translation of wiki contents

I first tried to add something to the original page Rob pointed out.
However, after some thinking, I found that the pages Project:I18N and
its discussion page are not intended to cover the "I18N issues
regarding the project (i.e., SL wiki)", but the are for "A group
activity called "I18N Project"...  I guess the author of this page
didn't know the purpose of the project name space feature of
MediaWiki...

As a result, I wrote a separate page for the guidelines on SL wiki
content translation.  It is on:

    http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Project:Languages

I tried to follow (few) existing practices on SL wiki.  The guideline
I wrote is a some _loose_ version of the one used in MediaWiki web
site.

Comments are welcome (on its associated discussion page.)

I've not yet started the actual translation work, because I was busy
thinking on this guidelines... *sigh*
