'''On-the-fly translation:'''
BlueSpice can now include a translation link for users who have set a language in their preferences that is different from the installation language (content language) of the wiki.




'''Translation transfer:'''
It is now possible for a wiki farm or for at least two separate wiki instances without the farm module to send translated articles from a source wiki to multiple target wikis.
The namespaces in the different language wikis can be mapped directly in the wiki.
