The LocalisationUpdate extension has gone live

The LocalisationUpdate extension is now enabled for all Wikimedia projects. From now on new localisations that become available in SVN will become available to your project within 24 hours. Your localisations get into SVN from translatewiki.net typically within a day and at worst in two days. This is a huge improvement from the old practice where the localisations became available with new software. This could take weeks, even months.

The localisations done by our community at translatewiki.net are committed to SVN typically every day. When the system messages in English are the same as the local messages, they will now be inserted in a file and are available for use in all our projects in a timely manner

What this means for you

Local messages have an impact on the performance of our system. It is best when messages are as much as possible part of the system messages. In order to remove unnecessary duplication, all the messages that have a local localisation and are exactly the same as the system message will be removed. What we ask you to do is to compare and proof read the messages in translatewiki.net and the local messages. You can then either remove local messages when the translatewiki.net message is to be preferred or, you can update the message at translatewiki.net.

Messages that are specific to your project will have to stay as they are. You do want to check if the format and the variables of the message are still the same.

Why localise at translatewiki.net

When you localise at translatewiki.net, your messages will be used in all Wikimedia projects and eventually in all MediaWiki based projects. This is how we provide the standard support for your language. When messages change, at translatewiki.net you will be prompted to revisit your translations. Localising is more efficient because we have innovated the process to make you more efficient; there is text explaining about messages and we have applied AJAX technology to reduce the number of clicks you have to make.

Translatewiki.net update

• Currently 31.85% of the MediaWiki messages and 0.55% of the messages of the extensions used by the Wikimedia Foundation projects have been localised. Please help us help your language by localising and proof reading at translatewiki.net. This is the recent localisation activity for your language. Thanks, GerardM 30 sep 2009 21:45 (UTC)

How can we improve the usability for your language

Wie verwaechten da' mie die implemantaotie ven die Lokaalen satie verbêtering ven de Media Wiki vor joe tale. We are now ready to look at other aspects of usability for your language as well. There are two questions we would like you to answer: Are there issues with the new functionality of the Usability Initiative Does MediaWiki support your language properly

The best way to answer the first question is to visit the translatewiki.net. Change the language to your language, select the “vector” skin and add the advanced tool bar in in the preferences and check out the new functionality. And make some changes in your user page. When there is a need to improve on the localisation, please make the necessary changess . It should update your localisation straight away. We would like you to report each issue individually at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Usability_issues.

When there are problems with the support of MediaWiki for your language, we really want to know about this. It is best to report each issue separately. In this way there will be no large mass of issues to resolve but we can address each issue on its own. Consider issues with the display of characters, the presentation of your script, the position of the side bar, the combination of text with other languages, scripts. It is best to try this in an environment like the prototype wiki as it provides you with a clean, basic and up to date environment. The prototype wiki is available for five languages but you can select any of them, change the preferences to your language and test out MediaWiki for your language.

We would like you to report each issue individually at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Languageissues. The issues you raise will all be assessed. It is important to keep each issue separate, because this will make it easier to understand the issues and find solutions.

Small request

Hello! I am a Polish wikipedian and I would like to ask you for your help - writing a new article about former Polish President who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983 – Lech Wałęsa. I have looked for his biography in your Wikipedia but without success. Polish Wikipedians will be grateful for your help. Thank you so much in advance! PS you can find the English version of the article here. Best wishes from Poland, Patrol110 25 dec 2009 11:40 (UTC)

connectivity project

Hallo, my name is Anastasiya Lvova, I'm "duty" in Connectivity project. The essence of the "Connectivity" project is to study and enhance the coherence of Wikipedia, or, in other words, to improve hypertext navigation between articles. The project deals with deadends, isolated articles, non-categorized articles, transitivity of the category tree, etc.

We want to work with your language version, but we need configured MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage for it (with direct links to template namespace pages, for example, ru:MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage/de:MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage/fr:MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage). Is it possible to set it up for our usage?

thanks in advance, Lvova 12 jun 2010 18:32 (UTC)

Link te een website om zeeuws

Weet men een link te een website om zeeuws? Ik wil het taal leren, maar ik weet niet hoe. Ik kan lezen engels, duits, en nederlands (daarvoor mag het website op een van deze talen zijn). Gott wisst 13 jun 2010 08:00 (UTC)

OWTB

Ik zou graag "opzichter" (=sysop) willen worden. Mijn gebrek aan kennis van het Zeêuws is misschien een zware last (ik ben amper in staat artikelen te schrijven, of misschien zelfs helemaal niet..), maar toch bekijk ik deze wiki bijna dagelijks. Omdat ik daarom het snelste vandalisme opmerk zou het handig zijn als ik alles snel kon terugdraaien, dus pagina's verwijderen etc. Hiervoor heb ik deze hulpmiddelen nodig.

Het zal hier waarschijnlijk niet storm gaan lopen met reacties, maar toch hoop ik iets positieve inbreng hier te vinden :) --Ooswesthoesbes 5 sep 2010 19:32 (UTC)

Voor Ooswesthoesbes als opzichter en Voor troef als bureaucraat! :-) Iedere wiki met actieve gebruikers zou z'n eigen bureacraat moeten hebben om de normale lopende zaken te kunnen regelen. Romaine 6 sep 2010 13:49 (UTC)

Dank jullie :) Helaas geeft het hier niet echt zoveel actieve gebruikers :( maar daar zal best wel eens verandering in komen :) --Ooswesthoesbes 7 sep 2010 19:52 (UTC)

Fundraising time is around the corner!

Hello Wikimedians, my name is Deniz and I am working for the Wikimedia Foundation during the 2010 Fundraiser. My job is to be the liaison between the Zeêuws community and the Foundation. This year's fundraiser is intended to be a collaborative and global effort, we recognize that banner messages that perform well in the United States don't necessarily translate well, or appeal to international audiences.

I am currently seeking translators who are willing to contribute to this project, helping to translate and localize messages into Zeêuws and suggesting messages that would appeal to Zeêuws readers on the Fundraising Meta Page. We've started the setup on meta for both banner submission, statistical analysis, and grouping volunteers together.
Use the talk pages on meta, talk to your local communities, talk to others, talk to us, and add your feedback to the proposed messages as well! I look forward to working with you during this year's fundraiser.

Please translate this message into Zeêuws if you can and post it below.--Dgultekin 10 sep 2010 21:30 (UTC)

Over het linken naar "Etalage"-artikelen op andere Wikipedia's

Beste mensen (ik schrijf hier even voor het gemak in het ABN), zojuist deed een nieuwe gebruiker deze edit: [1].

Link FA schijnt echter hier op zea:wiki niet te werken, omdat er onder "In aore taelen" nu geen mooi gouden sterretje of zoiets bij "Français" staat. Nu is die hele Etalage van Wikipedia wat mij betreft sowieso een beetje onzin (de meest knullige artikelen belanden er vaak in), niettemin lijkt het me de moeite waard om ook hier te vermelden dat een artikel op een of meer andere Wikipedia's in de Etalage staat. Kan iemand die weet hoe dat moet die link ook hier niet even instellen?

Heeft zea:wiki trouwens zelf al een Etalage? Ik geloof het niet? Wellicht is er daar nog gewoon te weinig materiaal voor. Groet, De Wikischim 15 sep 2010 13:16 (UTC)

Ik kan je niet verder helpen :( --Ooswesthoesbes 15 sep 2010 13:42 (UTC)

't Liek me glad gin goed idee om noe al an 'n etalage te werken. Lae me beter is beginne artikels te schrieven. Steinbach 1 okt 2010 12:29 (UTC)

Fundraising 2010: Beat Jimmy Challenge

The Fundraising Committee is issuing all interested community members a challenge: we want you to beat Jimmy. The appeal from Jimmy Wales and the corresponding banner have been tested head-to-head with other successful banners, and the results are clear: it's our best performing message... by a lot. This year we have a lofty fundraising goal; we need all of our banners to bring in donations like the Jimmy Appeal, but no one wants to keep the Jimmy banner up for two months. We want to run donor quotes, and other wonderful ideas, but we have to have banners that work as well as or better than the Jimmy appeal.

We've just released the highlights from a donor focus group, and the results of our donor survey. With one month to the launch of the fundraiser, the messages we test must be driven by data from our tests and surveys - we can no longer rely on instinct alone.

We've redesigned our fundraising meta pages with the Jimmy challenge; check out the survey results and propose/discuss banners that reflect these findings. Add the banners you think will 'beat Jimmy' here to be tested Tuesday October 12 against Jimmy. -Dgultekin 7 okt 2010 00:09 (UTC)

10 jaar Nederlandstalige Wikipedia

Beste allemaal,

In januari dit jaar bestond Wikipedia 10 jaar: wereldwijd is dit gevierd, ook in Nederland. Op 19 juni 2001 is vervolgens onze eigen Nederlandstalige Wikipedia opgericht en Wikimedia Nederland nodigt jullie van harte uit om ook dit 10 jarige jubileum samen te vieren.

Op 18 juni is er 's middags een fotojacht, Wiki takes Den Bosch, om zoveel mogelijk monumenten te fotograferen. De stad staat er vol mee, nu de foto's nog!
's Avonds vieren we feest, met muziek, een hapje en een drankje en een klinkend glas om middernacht. Vier met ons mee en schrijf je in via formulier!

Vriendelijke groet, Ciell 15 mei 2011 07:15 (UTC)

Names of animals and plants

Hello,

I am interested in Zeêuws, specially in names of plants and animals, because I think that is where you can see how a language is the best. Could you please tell me some of those? If I can choose one animal name alone, it would be that of the squirrel.

You can answer and explain in Zeêus or Dutch. In fact I don't like English but my Dutch is not good enough for that. I can only order a drink and maybe ask for the way, but I can read well.

Thank you

---

PSS The picture on the page about mammals shows a squirrel, where it says 'eekhoorn', just like in Dutch. Is there no other word? German got many different names for them by regions. Capsicaciolum 4 jun 2011 16:59 (UTC)

I'd think it would be eêkhoorn, as proto-germanic *ai mostly results in ei or eê in Zeêuws. --Ooswesthoesbes 5 jun 2011 17:13 (UTC)

Thank you, Ooswesthoesbes. What is the difference between 'eê' and 'ee'? I sometimes use 'ê', when the sound is between 'e' and 'ä'. Is it the same here? Are there also names for plants and animals in Zeêuws, which cannot explained from their dutch equivalent at all? -- Capsicaciolum 10 jun 2011 13:29 (UTC)

Well, the sound "eê" differs in each dialect, but generally it is "ee" followed by a schwah. The etymological difference could be seen in pre-reform Dutch spelling: "lezen" (gives "ee" in Zeêuws) vs. "heeten" (gives "eê" in Zeêuws). There are names with no Dutch equivalent for sure, but I can't give you any examples, as I'm no native speaker. --Ooswesthoesbes 10 jun 2011 20:25 (UTC)

Call for image filter referendum

The Wikimedia Foundation, at the direction of the Board of Trustees, will be holding a vote to determine whether members of the community support the creation and usage of an opt-in personal image filter, which would allow readers to voluntarily screen particular types of images strictly for their own account.

Further details and educational materials will be available shortly. The referendum is scheduled for 12-27 August, 2011, and will be conducted on servers hosted by a neutral third party. Referendum details, officials, voting requirements, and supporting materials will be posted at Meta:Image filter referendum shortly.

Sorry for delivering you a message in English. Please help translate the pages on the referendum on Meta and join the translators mailing list.

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is discussing changes to its Terms of Use. The discussion can be found at Talk:Terms of use. Everyone is invited to join in. Because the new version of Terms of use is not in final form, we are not able to present official translations of it. Volunteers are welcome to translate it, as German volunteers have done at m:Terms of use (de), but we ask that you note at the top that the translation is unofficial and may become outdated as the English version is changed.

Announcing Wikipedia 1.19 beta

Wikimedia Foundation is getting ready to push out 1.19 to all the WMF-hosted wikis. As we finish wrapping up our code review, you can test the new version right now on beta.wmflabs.org. For more information, please read the release notes or the start of the final announcement.

The following are the areas that you will probably be most interested in:

• Faster loading of javascript files makes dependency tracking more important.
• New common*.css files usable by skins instead of having to copy piles of generic styles from MonoBook or Vector's css.
• The default user signature now contains a talk link in addition to the user link.
• Searching blocked usernames in block log is now clearer.
• Better timezone recognition in user preferences.
• Improved diff readability for colorblind people.
• The interwiki links table can now be accessed also when the interwiki cache is used (used in the API and the Interwiki extension).
• More gender support (for instance in logs and user lists).
• Language converter improved, e.g. it now works depending on the page content language.
• Time and number-formatting magic words also now depend on the page content language.
• Bidirectional support further improved after 1.18.

Report any problems on the labs beta wiki and we'll work to address them before they software is released to the production wikis.

Note that this cluster does have SUL but it is not integrated with SUL in production, so you'll need to create another account. You should avoid using the same password as you use here. — Global message delivery 15 jan 2012 16:41 (UTC)

MediaWiki 1.19

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.) The Wikimedia Foundation is planning to upgrade MediaWiki (the software powering this wiki) to its latest version this month. You can help to test it before it is enabled, to avoid disruption and breakage. More information is available in the full announcement. Thank you for your understanding.

Language support group for Frisian

The Wikimedia Foundation has brought together a new team of developers who are dedicated to language support. This team is to support all the languages and consequently it is not realistic to expect that the team members can provide proper support for your language. It is for this reason that we are looking for volunteers who will make up a language support team.

This language support team will be asked to provide us with information about their language. Such information may need to be provided either to us or on a website that we will indicate to you. Another activity will be to test software that will likely have an effect on the running of the MediaWiki software. We are looking for people who clearly identify their ability. Formal knowledge is definitely appreciated.

As much of the activity will be concentrated on translatewiki.net, it will be a plus when team members know how to localise at translatewiki.net.

Babel extension
