I've been trying to figure out translation best practices from the docs and existing pages. It seems the base page should be in English and surrounded by <translate> tags, and this creates an identical /en page that you get redirected to if your language is English (likewise with other languages once a /fr, /ru etc. page is created). So far so good. But my question is, what happens when the base page and the /en page get out of sync? It would be best if the /en page was always auto-updated to a copy of the base page minus the <translate> tags. I hate duplication so I tested changing the base page to just a template-include of the /en page, within <translate> tags. It works but I'm not sure if it would mess with the translation workflow (I'm not a registered translator so I can't test it). Any advice?
