Please erase this page, I want to delete everything related to that name in google. Since I changed my name and that page doesn't make sense: https://translatewiki.net/wiki/User_talk:Navhy

To do this I think we will have to delete the redirection currently setup from https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=User:Navhy&redirect=no to https://translatewiki.net/wiki/User:Iv%C3%A1ns. I will check with Niklas on whether this is OK to do and perform this deletion. Please confirm if this is OK with you.

Regards,

Nice

I would like to request renaming of the Template namespace on the Wikimedia projects available in Macedonian, namely Wikipedia, Wikisource, Wiktionary and Wikibooks, from "Шаблон" to "Предлошка" but still keep the redirects from "Template" and "Шаблон". The community on the Macedonian Wikipedia pays careful attention on the use of puristic terminology and therefore avoids or limits the extent to which words of foreign origin are used. While "шаблон" as a term derived from the German "Schablone" has been accommodated in the Macedonian language for a long time, the dictionary does also contain "предлошка" as a word of Slavic origin with exactly the same meaning. Importantly, this is not going to be the first case a Slavic language makes the use of this term, as the same namespace on the Croatian- and Slovene-language projects bears a variety of the same word (e.g. "Predložak" in Croatian, "Predloga" in Slovene). It is also not the first time a request for renaming a namespace on the Macedonian-language projects is filed after the File and Special namespaces had been renamed for the same puristic reason in the past. Thanks in advance.

Yes. We need to make this change as soon as possible. This needs the attention of @Siebrand:

Makes general sense, I can do it. Just to be extra-sure, do you have something like a community discussion about this?

Hello, Amir. Yes, the matter has been discussed by the most active editors, and we have had an agreement on it. The discussions however, took palce on meetings outside the wiki itself. Hope that's good enough. By the way, we already changed the interface via translatewiki here, so it says Предлошка everywhere and everyone's fine with it.

OK, I see. I'll do it.

And also this: 'TemplateSandbox' => [ 'ШаблонскиПесочник' ],

ПесочникПредлошки? ПредлоскиПесочник? Both are probably wrong :)

What will be the name for the "Templаte talk" namespace? "Разговор за предлошка"?

Yes. Exactly "Разговор за предлошка". Thank you a lot, Amir!

I also need new translations for these:

• 'ExpandTemplates' => [ 'ПрошириШаблони' ],
• 'Mostlinkedtemplates' => [ 'НајупотребуваниШаблони' ],
• 'Uncategorizedtemplates' => [ 'НекатегоризираниШаблони' ],
• 'Unusedtemplates' => [ 'НеискористениШаблони' ],
• 'Wantedtemplates' => [ 'ПотребниШаблони' ],

I guess that it's:

• 'ExpandTemplates' => [ 'ПрошириПредлошки' ],
• 'Mostlinkedtemplates' => [ 'НајупотребуваниПредлошки' ],
• 'Uncategorizedtemplates' => [ 'НекатегоризираниПредлошки' ],
• 'Unusedtemplates' => [ 'НеискористениПредлошки' ],
• 'Wantedtemplates' => [ 'ПотребниПредлошки' ],

But please verify.

Yes, all of them are correct.

OK, and the last one:

'TemplateSandbox' => [ 'ШаблонскиПесочник' ],

I have translated over 9K or 10K messages on Phabricator's messages, but I haven't seen Turkish language in Phabricator's preferences. Are they stopped to review the languages or the bot is broken?

Hi Baran

I see that the strings that you've translated are exported out to the phabricator translations repository,

• https://github.com/wikimedia/phabricator-translations/commit/ed3f20855d5c0d856e51b6ebb761111a18a59c36#diff-0ce39caea15fd3f61c91fd39b857e5eb
• https://github.com/wikimedia/phabricator-translations/commit/ccbe0fa18c2519cc5fbaba313fc1c91dd3428e09#diff-491a3d4bbe9ca0c242b0f157b67a0f0a

Once the translations have been submitted by translatewiki, they have to be compiled to a format that Phabricator understands. See here.

Regards,

Oof. Thanks for the information.

I see that some updates were made to the Phabricator's translations repository but don't see Turkish as an option in Phab's preferences. Anything else we can help with here?

Regards,

If Wikimedia Phabricator added Turkish language on preferences, I would be appreciated it. :)

The special page giving the list of Supported languages (linked from the tools in the sidebar) no longer works. As well all subpages listing the users from one of the languages listed. Was it uninstalled unexpectedly, or disabled because a recent upgrade of Mediawiki caused was incompatible and the extension for this special page no longer works or crashes ?

Please see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T234750

This is fixed now.

Regards,

The S'gaw Karen Babel user information is already translated into S'gaw Karen language however, on the Portal:ksw page, the Babel user information box is written in English. Can you change it to S'gaw Karen?

It looks like translations are missing. Could you please translate these messages?

Yes, I have translated most of the phrases but I still haven't see the S'gaw Karen translated version on the Portal:ksw page. Why is the S'gaw Karen language not added to Wikimedia? Can you add the language? Most of the important messages is already translated.

? This issue is unconfirmed, still to be investigated

• Language code: aaa (ISO 639-3)
• Language name (both in English and the Ghotuo language): Ghotuo
• Writing method: LTR
• Writing script: Latin

I wish to translate the necessary MediaWiki interfaces needed for wikipedia on the Ghotuo language, so the templates can be translated on the Ghotuo test wiki. Best regards,GhotuoIncubator (talk) 22:13, 22 December 2019 (UTC) (update: 4 days have passed from when i uploaded this request, and i still do not have replies; am i forgotten? Without translating the interface, i cannot proceed with the Ghotuo test wiki in the Incubator. As i have not so plentifull time as you do, can i have an reply, even negative? Thanks,GhotuoIncubator (talk) 12:19, 26 December 2019 (UTC)) (@Nike:, @Siebrand:)

Hi GhotuoIncubator,

Sorry for the delay in responding to your ticket. We're currently reviewing your request, and will get back to you soon.

Regards,

@Abijeet Patro: Hi, thanks for reviewing my request, and excuse my impatience. I know that the foundation has many more serious tasks to do, so I will wait the process to normal run. If you need any info about the Ghotuo language, feel free to ask me! Thanks again,

I created this message by mistake. Please delete it.

In order to get properly translated in Greek, message MediaWiki:Autoblockedtext needs gender parameters for $1. Check the see also messages too.

 Done

This message contains barely any language content, so I don’t think it needs to be translated into any Latin-script language (it certainly does need to be translated into languages e.g. using different digits, though). Can this be made optional? Thanks in advance!

Hi! The translatable sentence in the MediaWiki:Machinevision-desc/en makes no sense. Here it is:

 Interfaces with internal and external machine vision service providers and stores and serves results.

I've highlighted the confusing part. Please fix it and/or at least explain what it tries to say, so that I could translate it correctly.

I assume this is an extension that can take images from MediaWiki (Wikimedia Commons?) and send them to a machine vision service. The machine vision service returns some information about the image (possibly things such as "depicts a domesticated cat, blue sky" or "a domesticated cat playing on a field") and this extensions stores this information in MediaWiki database. It probably also hooks into image pages/search to display this information and/or provides APIs through which this information can be accessed.

Hi Piramidion, I believe that the first word, "interfaces", is the verb (as in "to interface") and not the noun. So, the sentence has three verbs: interfaces, stores, and serves.

Note the first word “Interfaces” is a verb conjugated with third person. The implicit subject is “this extension”, which is also the subject for “stores” and “serves”.

OMG, thanks! These explanations should be on the /qqq subpage (there seem to be quite a bunch of incorrect translations already). I thought that "interfaces" is a noun in the plural form.

Please feel free to update the message description. They are freely editable.

Servus ich übersetzte Huggle, XTools und Mediawiki auf boarisch und habe jetzt auch mit KDE Lokalize einiges offline übersetzt wie bekomme ich das recht diese Übersetzungen zu importieren?

We have a new server from our sponsor Netcup. It will replace both of our current servers.

The upgrade will bring the following benefits:

• Increased performance thanks to more RAM and faster disks.
• Room for future growth: more translations, more projects, new services.
• More secure and easier to maintain operating system. We are switching from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS to Debian 10, which is also used by Wikimedia Foundation.

The server upgrade is planned for December 20th. Based on past experience, this will involve multiple hours of read-only time and a couple of day of disruptions to the regular search, translation search and translation memory features. We will rebuild those indices rather than trying to move them over. The version of ElasticSearch backing these features is also updated.

I will put up a site notice next week.

Why Wikimedia Foundation can't give server for this project?

They don't have such servers.

Sitenotice:

• Servers are upgraded on Friday → Servers will be upgraded on Friday (maybe future?)

Changed.

The upgrade is now done. Please report any odd behavior here or in the Phabricator.

Looks like site loads much faster and it is more stable. Thank you! If I find something incorrect, I will report :).

Thank you for making this project be better.

I suppose the text of the message MediaWiki:Logentry-bs-privacy-anonymization/en should not be '$4 has anonymized the account account. New username: $5' but '$4 has anonymized the account $2. New username: $5

I agree that the the double word "account account" was a probable error (possible incorrect copy-pasting when one of them would have been a placeholder, however the placeholder $2 suggested in the "/qqq" doc may not work here. This must be checked in the source code and may be the second "account" was there because there was still no value to indicate there (the source code may contain some "FIXME" comment tag, not shown when the message was exported from source code and imported for translations in TWN.

For now, I could not even place any occurence of {{GENDER:$2}} in the translated text, because "$2" is not present in the source English text, and inserting it would make the translated message fuzzy and then not exported from TWN.

All I could do was to translate as if the English source was "their account" (impersonal/neutral form) and not "the account account", or "his/her account" or "the account $2".

This message was changed yesterday with the comment "Change message to be gender-neutral \n This is done because the account that gender should be determined on, is already deleted by the point this message is created". The explanation makes sense, but the resulting message (with the doble "account") should obviously be improved.

So why not simply "their account" ? (A "qqq" documentation may explain that "their" is the impersonal gender-neutral singular in English. I initially thought that "the account account" was a typo, an incorrect replacement here which does not make sense at all and causes more difficulties to translators or even native English readers, trying to guess what it means: there's only a single account, even if now it is deleted (actually anonymized without personal data like gender). I wonder if this can apply to bot accounts: do we have bots anonymized without also anonymizing the associated owner's account ?

Can we know if an anonymized acount was used by a bot and not a normal person, and does it keep a traceable link to the now anonimized personal account ? Is is safe or even possible to anonimize an account that has a bot associated (but not renamed)? or the inverse situation where a bot gets anonymized without anonimizing the account owner (accoding to policies this cannot be accepted is the bot is still active and authorized: a new bot account should be requested and associated in that case, and the old bot account that was anonimized should then be blocked from connection to all APIs, but not be masked at all given their past impact; it remains important to know that some past edits that were anonimized were automated, and allow independat reviews or reports to analyze their past actions in history, including info possibly documenting the automation rules they used: all bots have made unexpected errors but they are hard to find in the mass and such detection can take a lot of time even after a bot is blocked or no longer active at all) ?

Why not simply using:

$4 has anonymized an account. New username: $5.

It makes clearer that the anonymized account is NOT the account owned and used by $4 perforing the change, but that the admin $4 made the change in the other account now named $5 (whose previous name is voluntarily hidden, but may be found by a few admins using restricted privacy inspection tools). I suppose that this message is the one that all other users will see in the public history log of the new user account (whose name ion $5 may look like "User:Anonymous-71ef38a9" as it was probably randomly generated with some name generator, and checking it did not cause conflict with another active account, or possibly selected manually by the admin doing the check himself).

CLOSED This issue is closed

The text of this message is "❌ $1 has deleted article $3 Reason: $3" but I suppose the correct text of this message should be: "❌ $1 has deleted article $2 Reason: $3"

There should also be a period (.) after "$2" and before "Reason:", like in other similar messages. This is not the same sentence. (and may be $2 should be between quotation marks, as a deleted page normally would have no visible link to delimit the displayed title). So the English message should be ❌ $1 has deleted article "$2". Reason: $3.

The issue has been solved now.

Except the missing quotation marks (delimiting the title) and the full stop before "Reason:"

Hi!

I think Wikimedia:Wikipedia-library-342e87-This program is administered b/en should have been marked as outdated while importing, because the imported French translation did not really match with English original. Could you check that?

The source says Tundmatu. I think it should say Unknown.
