I translated an article that is on this untranslated category 
(https://mariadb.com/kb/fr/mariadb/what-is-mariadb/) but i havent been 
able to use the usual ways to put links to other translated KB articles 
("mariadb-vs-mysql-compatibility", "mariadb-vs-mysql-features" and 
"source-getting-the-mariadb-source-code") where the usual links of the 
form "fr/english-link" and "translated-link" doesnt works.
I had to put the full URL (excluding "https://mariadb.com/kb/fr/";) which 
are "mariadb/la-compatibilite-entre-mariadb-et-mysql", 
"mariadb/mariadb-vs-mysql-features/" and 
"mariadb/les-premiers-pas/obtenir-installer-et-actualiser-mariadb/comment-compiler-mariadb-a-partir-de-la-source/source-getting-the-mariadb-source-code/".

What is the best practice here, i didnt find mentions about it on the 
documentation?

Would it be possible to have by default links on translated articles to 
point to translated articles (when available) when the "default" URL 
(using the English KB page link without specifying the language) is used 
on the code ; having to check and fix almost every links when doing a 
translation is time consuming and could easily lead to mistakes.

Another small issue : The documentation about translating KB pages 
(https://mariadb.com/kb/en/meta/translation-howto/) states that : "All 
translated articles must be placed in a translated category. If the 
translated parent does not exist, the article will be placed in the 
grandparent or root category. Please take the time to translate the 
parent category before translating any articles in that category.".

But if i try to translate a category such as 
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/faq/ i got an error message : "Sorry, 
you do not have permission to create an article here."
