Egyptian Arabic userbox

  • Please, allow me to edit this babel user box (arz-N) I don't think I have permission or I don't know how to edit it, because it is not written in Egyptian Arabic :(‎ It has to be “اليوزر ده لغته الام هى المصرى.‏” instead of هذا المستخدم يمتلك معرفة كلغة أم بمصرى.. --Dudi 17:41, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Incorrect line break in {{msg-mw|awc-metrics-wikians|notext=1}}

Hello! I've translated 4 messeges fo wikia that are with a stranger problem. Messeges like MediaWiki:Awc-metrics-wikians/pt-br, MediaWiki:Awc-metrics-article-avg-size/pt-br, etc., are showed in red after my translations, without !!FUZZY!!. I think it's because of the lenght of the translations, for example Avg. art.<br/>size have 19 character while my translation Média de artigos<br/>por tamanho have 32 character. Is this the problem? Am I right?

It is because your XHTML break is not XHTML compliant. It should be "
" with a space between "br" and the slash.

Siebrand07:36, 3 February 2010
 

Oh, I understand. In this case, the standard message in English should be changed to avoid these kind of problems...

Thank you for the answer!

Jesielt08:09, 3 February 2010
 

Yes, it should indeed be changed :)

Hello Gerard

Hello Gerard,
I was wishing to ask you a question.
I'm an admin in the Ladino Wikipedia and am translator of the interface messages in Ladino. The "Main Page" on the top of the left sidebar, in the Ladino Wikipedia, opens a page called Kacha. And "Kacha" redirects to the actual main page. What can I do, so that the main page link on the left sidebar links directly to the actual mainpage? And if possible, I would like to do that after updating all the changes I've made to the interface, because I'd to change the main page's name from "Página de Entrada" to "Hoja Primera", as the word "Página" is not used by the actual Ladino speakers and "Hoja" is used in its place. By the way, I'm sorry because I forgot how to request an update of the changes I've made to the interface (I guess I couldn't say that properly, I think you use another word for that, instead of the word "update"). So, could you also remind me how to do that?
Thank you very much in advance Gerard,
Sincerely & Friendly

Hoi, you have to locally change the message MediaWiki:Mainpage to the page you want to be the main page..

GerardM15:54, 24 January 2010
 

Do you mean this one? But that only changes the imprinted name of the main page on the sidebar, not the link that it provides. It imprints the new name I enter but when clicked upon, opens the old link.

Universal Life22:47, 24 January 2010
 

No, you are looking for the LOCAL version of that message without the lad.

GerardM23:47, 24 January 2010
 

Now, I entered MediaWiki:Mainpage, without the "lad" but the page seems to be deleted. Is it something different that you were mentioning? I tried other ways to find the "local" version instead of the "ladino" version but nothing. Please, provide me with a link. I can't find it. Thank you.

Universal Life09:15, 25 January 2010
 

On your wikipedia, this page is empty .. so you have to enter the name of the local page that is your main page

GerardM12:28, 25 January 2010
 

I did it. Now it's no more empty. Now what can I do, so that it links there directly? By the way, sorry for taking so much time, but I would do it myself, had I known how to do. I'm just learning.

Karachay-Balkar Wikipedia

Hi, Gerard. Could you add information about the localization to the request?

Iltever01:10, 4 January 2010
 
 

Where do I find these messages?

Which group do the messages MediaWiki:Already bureaucrat and Mediawiki:Already sysop belong to? They don't seem to update on wikis.

Thanks

The best test

Hi, Gerard. Could you tell me, which test (Wikipedia) in this time is the best (first in the queue to create) in the incubator in your opinion? Does our test project has a real chance to create?

Iltever17:03, 22 November 2009
 

Hoi, with the localisation of the "most used" messages done, with somehing like three months with at least three people working on articles.. with a few hundred articles, you will get a Wikipedia. Thanks//

GerardM17:18, 22 November 2009
 

Hartelijk dank ))

Hi, Gerard. Could you tell me any news about the creation of the Karachay-Balkar Wikipedia and about the expert?

Could you give translator rights to this user?

Sorry. That was me Icon biggrin.gif.

Iltever22:01, 5 December 2009
 

There is no need requesting this elsewhere. If all requirements are fulfilled, this will always be arranged for within hours.

Siebrand22:54, 5 December 2009
 

OK )

Thanks

Thanks for adding a Babel box to my userpage. Blithely assuming that the syntax is the same across all MediaWikis failed to yield results for me. ^_^ Can you point me to the relevant documentation? Reply where you like, I watch all pages I edit. Regards.

Could you tell me

Could you tell me, where can write expert on the language to the Language committee? And why there is no Request page?...

Iltever22:39, 16 November 2009
 

Hoi, We try to find our own expert ... we have a few linguists in the language committee that have so far been able to find us experts.. When you want to suggest that we consider an expert, we welcome suggestions, but then please indicate to us why your expert is indeed an expert  :) Thanks, GerardM 00:18, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

GerardM00:18, 17 November 2009
 

Hi, Gerard. The expert, which I want to suggest, is a famous karachay poet and writer Bilal Laypanov (some information about him: www.norskpen.no www.kamatur.org. He lives in Norway and very interested in Wikipedia...

Malayam script

There is a recent update of the Unicode characters for Malayam, among others. The problem is that the public does not have the latest characters.. In order to allow for the use of the latest Unicode characters, Webfonts are needed.. This issue is known to Brion, Roan and Naoko. Thanks
