MEpedia talk:Template translation

Suggestions -- notjusttired (talk) 20:19, August 13, 2019 (EDT)

• copy a Stubs translations from WikiMedia meta - either use as it is or swap the message for a system message and translate those instead

• pages can be bulk created very quickly by exporting from another wiki then importing (only admins can import but anyone can export) - you can also export linked files - there might be a way to use this to bulk create custom system messages

Update

PD and PD-USGov are partially translated, but the rest is extra unimportant description that can be hide for Non-English users, or just left underneath as it is. notjusttired (talk) 19:28, August 14, 2019 (EDT)

Translation resource

• https://translatr.varunmalhotra.xyz/ is very useful for extremely simple translations, eg a word. Results can be formatted using the different replace text / add prefix text tools online. Might be useful for things like templates using LangSwitch where there is already an icon to help indicate the purpose, eg  Done notjusttired (talk) 15:12, August 23, 2019 (EDT)

Create a new account message

Translations are needed for MediaWiki:Questycaptcha-createaccount and possibly other Questycaptcha messages. LocalizationUpdate extension will do these - we just need to check after that they have been created. I haven't added to the page since it's not a template.

Feel free to add this one to MEpedia:User interface translation, since it's a user interface message, not a template.
