Hi Crox, great poster tool, thank you very much!

Is it maybe possible to provide a translated version? This might be more encouraging to locals to respond. I would have offered to help translating the poster to German, but looking at the Babel template on your user page you probably don't need help there ;) LeslieHapablap (talk) 05:06, 11 May 2013 (EDT)

Hello, and thank you for your feedback.
Since the documents are generated dynamically, each text can be easily translated (with the exception of the customized comic), and I'm happy to implement that feature. I actually considered a multilingual design similar to this Berlin poster, but dropped it in favor of the current version mainly because most of the wiki is written in English anyway.
Maybe another option instead of translating the whole poster would be to add a prominent localized "what is this about" text/link? It should even be possible to "calculate" the local language at the geohash and embed this dynamically.
What are your thoughts?
