Supòrt

Seguissètz aquestas etapas per tradusir sus Betawiki:

• Enregistratz-vos o connectatz-vos a Betawiki
  • remember that this will be the name which will be added to the MediaWiki software files ("@author YourUsername")
• creatz una pagina d'utilizaire amb qualques entresenhas e ligams (quina lenga sètz a traduire, ...)
• set your user interface to the language you will be working on
• find out if your language has already some maintainers on the language status page
  • if your language has maintainers, contact them and ask how you can help
  • if not, you can take over maintenance of your language. Read the documentation and add details to the status page
  • You may want to ask for the messages of your project to be imported. You can request this on the Tasks page.
• ask for translator privileges
  • if your knowledge of English isn't that good, you can request for language(s) to be added above the edit form to help you (example)
• start translating at Special:Translate

[edit] Offline translation

In Special:Translate you can export a message group to a .po file, and work on that offline. Make sure you save the .po file as UTF-8! Return it to "betawiki AT xs4all DOT nl" and make sure to note what your Betawiki username is – all changes will be attributed to it. More is explained on Translating:Offline

[edit] Recommended process

Make sure you have set your language preference to the language you will be working on.

• first translate the most often used messages[1]
• complete the core messages[2]
• check if you should translate any optional messages[3]
• do a consistency check (terminology, formal/informal) on your localisation
• translate the extension messages used in Wikimedia wikis[4]
• translate the remaining remaining extension messages[5]
• do a consistency check (terminology, formal/informal) on your localisation between core messages and extension messages
• start maintaining your language's localisation on a regular basis. At least once per month is recommended.

Read on if you want to know more. Reading on is not required, although advised for a proper understanding of more advanced localisation features. You could spend a few days translating, though, and come back when you think you need more information.

Rampèl: translate links, namespaces, and messages as they are and do not deviate from the source message more than needed!
