Review of supported languages
My commiserations on your working weekend.
I have found that quite a few of the translators registered for these languages are not proficient in those languages. I have listed the ones with proficiency 0, 1, 2 seperately. The e-mail above is not very suitable for them. So I have drafted an alternative e-mail, to do with as you see fit:
Greetings from translatewiki.net where you are registered as a translator for (or have contributed translations to) the language [name of language] (link to portal). It appears that no translators for [language name] have made any translations during the past year, so we write to remind you about us. We hope that you can help to find some others who could translate this language here.
Please visit us [link to home] to find out what's new at translatewiki.net. If you have any questions on how to use translatewiki.net please ask at Support (link), or try asking in another language (for example Russian, Arabic, Hindi) on the talk page of that language.
With best wishes.
The list of idle contributors is ready. I have added registered translators who were not on the original list, by reviewing SupportedLanguages. I have deleted languages which have variants which are active, that I didn't spot the first time round. This leaves 74 languages on the list, I think.
This has been quite a long process, but it has thrown up a few interesting things, so that's all right. If (but only if!) a few of these languages become active again, I'd be happy to do this job again sometime - I expect it would take a lot less time the second time round.
Bump
Siebrand: should we find someone to do this?
Yeah, I think GerardM :).
Has an e-mail gone out yet? If not, do you want me to send the e-mails manually, one by one?
