Hi Jean-Christophe,
The dimension tool still has some problems when displayed in 3D (The dimension text is not correctly aligned) but it IS precise, if you take your measurement points correctly (that is, in most cases, snapping to vertices).

For translating the documentation, I think the wiki has everything there already: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta:Interlanguage_links
Basically it looks like, if you want to translate a page you just create a subpage with your language code.
For example, you want to translate the page About in french, you create a About/fr page, and the wiki takes care of all the linking.

Hmm I just did a little test here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/f ... torials/fr but I still didn't find how that page appears as "other languages" in the sidebar.

I'll try to find out how it works...
Cheers
Yorik
