And Spanish and French. Wikipedia has many translations, but is overly
verbose. And other pages I've looked at are specific to a particular
country.

Or just add the links to the installer's wiki page. That is, link to
config:license and have more detailed information there, so as not to
duplicate content.

I'm working on the $INPUT wrappers at the moment. So I'll get to that
next. I filed a bug on "None" being untranslated.
Would you like to keep the label for no license as "None" or "None or
other"? Or the popular "None of the above" (after moving the choice to
the end of the list).

Point taken. They only translate the plain-language description. For
DokuWiki, the license displayed in the template footer is a legal notice
and should be English. But the message displayed on the edit form is
informational. I was about to say that it would add complexity to carry
two strings, but maybe not. The description in license.conf is English
thus can be used by tpl_license() while html_edit could use
$lang["lic_".$license].
