@ Michael I do not know if you were watching the discussions on the documentation mailing-list.
I just translated the wiki-page http://wiki.ipfire.org/en/configuration/network/dnsforward and after a few minutes the original version was gone and replaced by a very short, and incomplete at the moment, new version. According to Erik, this page had needed translation urgently. So please tell me if this was a mistake or if the old page was for an outdated version, or ....?
I wasn't aware of that we are doing translation, when an article has not even been finished, yet.
