PROS:
- clear separation between languages. For example, users will be in
English or French, not a bit of English and French.
- search and random page function will not give multi-language results.
- this is how wikipedia.org works, they have experience with wiki
sub-domains, so we are sure that will work.
- this is documented directly from mediawiki:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_family.

CONS:
- need a wiki for each sub domain.
- a user account is valid for only one wiki (to be confirm).
- need to do modifications on the actual wiki.

By making sub domains, we will offer to KDE users a fully translated wiki.
