Help translate interface message and documentation pages for VisualEditor into your language

Join the sprint

 * When
 * During Wikimania's week in July - Wednesday 15 to Sunday 19 included (CDT).


 * Where
 * 1) Online! Not in Mexico City? It doesn't matter. You can participate wherever you are.
 * 2) In Workplace 1 - Don Américo on July 16th at 4:00 p.m (CDT) at the conference venue. Join the Wikimedia Foundation's Community Liaisons for VisualEditor if you need help getting started with translations or would just like to spend time with other fellow translators!


 * What
 * This is an invitation to start or improve translations for VisualEditor-related messages into your language.
 * Interface messages live at translatewiki.net. Please see to learn how to get started here. Please note: unified login won't work here, so you'll need to create a new, free account here if you don't have one yet. We strongly recommend doing so before the translathon begins, because the account needs to be manually approved.
 * Documentation pages are available at mediawiki.org. Please see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Translate/Translation_example if you're not familiar with Extension:Translate.
 * Resources (work in progress)
 * Here is the list of the pages you can work on, ordered by priority (#1 = top priority):


 * 1) Interface messages on translatewiki.net
 * 2) User guide on MediaWiki
 * 3) VE portal on MediaWiki
 * 4) Introduction to TemplateData
 * 5) Help about TemplateData
 * 6) VE FAQ
 * 7) VE as the main editor
 * 8) Special characters
 * 9) Citation tool
 * 10) Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki


 * How
 * Participate


 * 1) Sign up in the Participants section below so that your contributions can be checked: you'll earn an "Interlingual Barnstar"! Top translators will also be mentioned in the next issue of the VisualEditor global newsletter, and the 3 most active ones may get a prize from the Wikimedia Store (a short-sleeve shirt, or other items for the same value). New translations (that is, those for messages available in the "Untranslated" tab of the translation program) and updated translations (those for messages available in the "Outdated" tab) will be counted.
 * 2) Click on any of the links above and start translating by clicking on the Translate to... dropdown link on the top right of the page. If you have created your account on translatewiki.net recently, let us know: we may need to validate it.
 * 3) Please don't start early!  Messages and pages are being updated and added and may change drastically before the translathon starts, and translations before then will not be counted towards the prize.  :)
 * Need help?
 * See how to get started and the FAQ page on this wiki.
 * Check the TranslationCentral on mediawiki.org for details.
 * Look for Elitre or Trizek on IRC (#wikimania, #mediawiki-visualeditor, #mediawiki-i18n ...).
 * If you're in Mexico City, come and visit the Community Liaison table in the Community Engagement Department booth in the Community Village from Friday to Sunday.

 * For documentation messages at mediawiki.org, we estimate the initiative affected 24 languages: the average progress in translations was 26.6% before translathon, and 46.9% after (+20.3%). Notable achievements for
 * Armenian, which went from 1% to 99%;

 * Outdated translations were reduced from 8.4% before translathon to 4.8% after (-3,6%).

Graphs (interface messages only)

 * Note that no impact was expected on the new users' count, while having reviewers and reviews for existing translations wasn't even a goal for this initiative.
