Score submission guide

I've just added links to the score submission guide and translations on the right hand column at the suggestion of Joachim on the forums. If anyone has any strong views for/against, let's discuss it here becuase I'm not entirely convinced that the links do belong there... though it is useful for users who can't read any English. --Bobnotts talk 22:45, 14 December 2007 (PST)

Probably some change is in order, because I first thought the links must be to Italian and Dutch versions of the Main Page. Possibly new translations of pages could be simply posted as CPDL news articles for the time being - and/or - (in lieu of a "languages" box at the far left, a section Template:Languages added (above or below CPDL news) with various language links. Since the Score submission guide already has links to the Dutch and Italian versions on the page, I don't think it's necessary to include them in the Main Page where they are now, at least if there is a section on the Main Page about pages/resources in other languages. -- Chucktalk Giffen 23:26, 14 December 2007 (PST)
The Add scores to CPDL link in the navigation box on the left, the Add scores and score submission guide links in the Contribute to CPDL box all point to different pages. It would be better if the pages were merged in to one page (I'm favoring the Score submission guide), with the linked page in the navigation being replaced by a redirect, and the Add scores link in the Contribute to CPDL removed. -- Chucktalk Giffen 23:26, 14 December 2007 (PST)
Final thought (for now): Maybe these discussions should be moved to the Village pump (with a link here to those discussions)? -- Chucktalk Giffen 23:26, 14 December 2007 (PST)

OK. FIRST to inform myself before writing my opinion, I clicked on the Italian flag, and was taken to the page for the image. Since my experience is that it is a common convention to use the flag as a link to a translated page, I think link needs to be reworked. Second, if we're to go multi-national, I would suggest that the same link method be used for all versions, and the way I would prefer to see this implemented is to have the section of the main page under the heading "Contribute..." be all links, so that the English language version is moved to a new page, too.

And I concur that these discussions should take place on the village pump.

MY PREFERENCE would be to treat all versions of the score submission and translations guide the same. the English, Dutch, and It
