Thread:Support/Who designed these pages and this translation process?

I'm new here but I have been in translation business a loong time (both as translator as well as project manager) and so far I haven't had a project where I wouldn't have had more questions than here. First: What is there to translate? Where do I find it? Why is it not right in the menu tree?

The basic things:
 * 1) Prerequisites for translation (user etc.) - that's OK
 * 2) What to translate - zero points currently, I know I can find it somewhere but where? Where is the list of things that still need to be translated?
 * 3) How to translate
 * 4) for Finnish: good external terminology + some wiki-specific expression, but a wiki terminology database would be better. However, no guidelines for phrases.
 * 5) Development information on how parameters or single words are used is insufficient - typical for developers I must say; if the line is not a full sentence containing only words (!), the developer must provide documentation on how the parameters or single word(s) are used - leaving it to the translators is not the right way, as it just leads to wrong translations or that the line is not getting translated at all. There are over 260 languages in wiki so it's simpler that one person (=developer) does the explaining when creating the line than having 260+ translators thinking about it and asking from other translators if they might have some ideas...

And you use Google translate as "translation memory"?? Using Google Translate is banned in Finnish Wikipedia because the results are totally incomprehensible... And yet we use this unreliable tool for translating the wiki software??

That's all for now.
