Translating:MediaWiki/Basic glossary/nl

This page is a translated version of the page Translating:MediaWiki/Basic glossary and the translation is 40% complete.

Op deze pagina staat een lijst met de vaakst voorkomende en meest elementaire technische termen die nodig zijn voor het gebruik van de MediaWiki-software.

De lijst laat zich gemakkelijk vertalen in alle talen waarin de mensen MediaWiki kunnen gebruiken. Het is geen uitputtende woordenlijst met alle MediaWiki-termen; er staan alleen de termen in die echt nodig zijn voor alle talen, met name om MediaWiki voor een nieuwe taal gebruiksklaar te maken. Dat laatste geschiedt door het vertalen van de belangrijkste berichten (ook wel de "meest gebruikte").

Deze lijst moet worden vertaald in alle talen, ook die waarin er al een gevestigde MediaWiki-terminologie is.

Er staan zowel termen in die een bepaalde betekenis hebben in MediaWiki, zoals "categorie" en "sjabloon", als algemene computertermen, zoals "bestand" en "uploaden". Zie "Meer informatie over deze woordenlijst" voor uitleg daarover.

Met vette tekst wordt informatie benadrukt over woorden die vaak verkeerd vertaald worden.

Naast veel termen staan pictogrammen. Als u daarop klikt, krijgt u meer informatie:
