Recommended process for translating MediaWiki

Hi. Just a few tips, because from your current translations, I think you may have a need for some help in that area. Of course, please feel free to translate in any order, following any process you prefer. The below is a guideline that we know works well and renders the best results for MediaWiki users. Cheers!

• first translate the most often used messages
• complete the core messages
• check if you should translate any optional messages
• do a consistency check (terminology, formal/informal) on your localisation
• translate special page names, magic words and namespaces on Special:AdvancedTranslate
• translate the extension messages used in Wikimedia wikis
• translate the remaining extension messages
• do a consistency check (terminology, formal/informal) on your localisation between core messages and extension messages
• start maintaining your language's localisation on a regular basis. At least once per month is recommended.
