Translating:MediaWiki/Basic glossary/ckb

This page is a translated version of the page Translating:MediaWiki/Basic glossary and the translation is 2% complete.

This page is a list of the most common and basic technical terms that are necessary for using the MediaWiki software.

The list is designed to be conveniently translatable to all the languages in which people can use MediaWiki. It is not supposed to be an exhaustive glossary of all MediaWiki terms, but only of those that are the most necessary for all languages, and in particular, for starting up the adaptation of MediaWiki to a new language by translating the Most important messages (also known as "Most used").

Tips for translators
Tips for maintainers

This list should be translated to all languages, including those in which MediaWiki already has a well-established terminology.

It includes both terms that have particular meaning in MediaWiki, such as "category" and "template", and general computer terms, such as "file" and "upload". See the "More information about this glossary" page for an explanation about that.

Bold text is used for emphasizing information about words that are often translated incorrectly.

Next to many terms, there are icons. Clicking these icons may provide more information:

	A link to the relevant encyclopedic article in the English Wikipedia that describes the thing in question. Check the interlanguage links of this article to find articles in other languages you may know.
	A link to the relevant page in the English Wiktionary. Make sure to read the definitions carefully and pick the one that is closest to the meaning you need. Many words in the English Wiktionary have translations to other languages. To see them, scroll down, find the "Translations" list, find the translations list with the sense that interests you, and find your language. If your language is not listed, consider adding a translation to Wiktionary.
