Enables most multilingual wiki content features and assigns the translation module. To manage the interface, use Interactive_Translation instead.
After this profile is activated, you will notice a "translate" button on wiki pages. Once you translate wiki pages, you will start seeing (when relevant), the "translation" module which provides you information about the state of translation. You can see this in action over at: www.wiki-translation.com
