What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) editors run against the grain of DokuWiki markup. On the other hand, they are sometimes exactly what you need.

Further, I don't think there is a general way to allow such an editor to use arbitrary plugins.
There are several drawbacks to this separation:
I just updated the translation file for Spanish speaking people here it is.
