Thread:Support/Translating:Translators' forum/reply (3)

This page was developed in response to some discussions amongst translators. It's aim is to provide a forum for discussion and cooperation between languages, as opposed to language portal talk pages, for discussion of translation matters of that language only. The concept of supplying examples from different languages on the page is to share ideas between languages that may be of use to other languages. The forum would have been of most use to translators of languages which don't have large communities of on-line translators, either professional or volunteer.

I agree that mw:Help:Extension:Translate/Translation best practices is not the place to transfer the content of the page to. I take the point that we don't want to try to develop full localisation manuals here, which would require too much effort to maintain. So why don't we wait a week or so to give some others the chance to discuss the proposed deletion of the page. If nobody objects, we could then transfer the content of the page to the FAQ page. After all, the section on localising verb forms was first developed as part of a discussion on Support, and FAQ is mainly a collection of things discussed on Support of ongoing interest to all users of the wiki. As you say, any discussions of translation matters can revert to the Support page
