The French version of Wikitravel has been growing about twice as fast as the English one. The 50th article is Lille; Corsica is the first article created in French and then translated here.

Wikitravel is covered in Pam O'Connell's Online Diary (registration required) in the paper and online editions of the New York Times. Definitely the biggest media outlet to mention Wikitravel to date.

The French version of Wikitravel has been launched, marking the second foreign language version after Romanian. We are busy translating the help files and figuring out how to say "plunge forward", "phrasebook", etc. in French.

Romanian Wikitravel is going for 100 articles after a month online, having by now 88 articles (refering mostly to European destinations) and 11 registred users. Many of the help files are allready localized, and there are some featured articles. First article to be ever translated from the Romanian Wikitravel to the English Wikitravel was Bucharest, followed by Tirana. An avarage of 13 edits per day was registred during the last month on the Wikitravel în română.

Just a quick note about some references to Wikitravel. We're now listed in the Yahoo! directory for Destination Guides. Also, we were referred to a while ago on Larry Lessig's weblog.
