Welcome to Betawiki!

Hi Cgboeree. Welcome to Betawiki. Before you can use Special:Translate, and Special:Magic, please request translator rights at Betawiki:Translators. Please create a user page on which you describe which language(s) you will be working on. If you are going to be an active user here, please also add your name to the languages you will be working on at Translating:Languages. For an overview of the languages that are being worked on here, you can have a look at Translating:Developer log. Other useful pages can be Support and Import requests.

Once you have started translating, please remember to often request a commit of your translation work at Translating:Tasks. This makes the number of changes easier to handle for the devs.

I wish you a productive and pleasant stay. Cheers! Siebrand 20:54, 17 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Namespaces

Hi Cgboeree. I saw you translated the namespaces. Please leave namespaces etc in English. That way they will work on every wiki. I fixed this one. If there are more, please fix them. Cheers! SPQRobin 19:57, 20 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi, and thank you. How does one tell namespaces from things that need to be translated? jorj 22:19, 20 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
Do you mean how you can see the difference between things to be translated or not? I'll give a little overview:
  • "[[Special:Recentchanges]]" > always leave links to special pages like they are, so "[[Special:Recentchanges]]"
  • "Help:Normal page" > these will probably only occur in pages containing only a link (like in the link I gave). Translate the second part, so "Help:Translation"
  • "[[{{MediaWiki:Helppage}}|text]]" > leave the {{blabla}} like it is, so "[[{{MediaWiki:Helppage}}|translation]]"
