User talk:Raymond

Could you please check why this two years old translation hasn't been committed to the repo. Recently I translated some more API messages, like this, to see if older message will be committed along with these. I see there has been one commit (Mar 17) afterwards, but no Estonian messages were included.

Edit: I now found out about MediaWiki's 13% export threshold. Never mind then.

Hi! Today this patch in AbuseFilter got merged where we added a new message (abusefilter-topnav-recentchanges). Before, we used to re-use another message (abusefilter-filter-log) in its place. Since you've done this in the past, could you please copy the content of MediaWiki:abusefilter-filter-log to MediaWiki:abusefilter-topnav-recentchanges for every language in which it exists? Many thanks in advance.

Hi. MediaWiki:abusefilter-filter-log is still is use, isn't it? In this case I do not have a tool to copy a message to another one :-( Only moving is possible.

Ack! Yes, it's still in use :/ No problem then, and thanks anyway.

Hi, I just noticed you moved "Abusefilter-edit-throttle-*" messages to "Abusefilter-throttle-*". Thanks for doing it, I forgot to ask when sending the patch. However, I have a tiny concern: new messages are identical to the old ones, except that they don't have the first letter capitalized because the context where they're used has been changed. Would it be possible to automatically change the first letter to lowercase for every message? The list is "abusefilter-throttle-ip", "abusefilter-throttle-user", "abusefilter-throttle-range", "abusefilter-throttle-creationdate", "abusefilter-throttle-editcount", "abusefilter-throttle-site" and "abusefilter-throttle-page". Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have fuzzied these messages that means translators will get a hint to check the translation. But I am unable to lowercase the first letter for 2 reasons: I have no tool for this and I have no knowledge about most of the language. Personally I speak 3 only. So we have to wait for the translators to do this.

Nice, thanks again. It's fine, since this is mostly a visual change.

I'm trying to make some corrections here and here. Unfortunatelly, changes can't be saved, with some error codes like [4d436290b43a9756ea00163f] Caught exception of type TypeError and [6c1409b03efcbdcc2a3d46d2] Caught exception of type TypeError. Can you help with this?--MaGa (talk) 17:00, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Same thing here today.

Please ask at Support as I am for some more days in travelling mode. Ping User:Nikerabbit.

I don't know why, but now is everything ok. Thanks and sorry for inconvenience.

Hello! Could you please move MediaWiki:quiz_colorRight/en’s translations to MediaWiki:quiz_legend_correct/en and MediaWiki:quiz_colorWrong/en’s to MediaWiki:quiz_legend_incorrect/en? They are basically the same, I just used a synonym, which was reflected in the message name, too.

 Done

Hello, after this move all the WIkipedias have problem with the message. Instead of page title they show just "$2". See e.g. [1]. Could you fix this ASAP?

I temporarily fixed this for cswiki: [1]. Which variable is correct then: $1 or $2? $1 works now, but maybe with the fix of Special:WhatLinksHere the baehavior will change?

Pls see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T189860 for the issue itself. Should be fixed soon on all wikis.

Hallo Raymond,

ich wurde über ein paar Nachrichtenverschiebungen von dir benachrichtigt, unter anderem [1]. Das Ziel dieser Verschiebungen erscheint mir fehlerhaft (Unterseiten von /en). Könntest Du da netterweise noch einmal drübergucken?

Vielen Dank und liebe Grüße

Hallo Vogone, vielen Dank für den Hinweis. Da ist mir tatsächlich ein Fehler passiert :-( Diesen habe ich soeben korrigiert.

Hi, Could you please let me know what was problem for this topic. you wrote "wrong translation" ! what does this means? Thank you for your time in advance. regards Dejavu (talk) 21:39, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi Dejavu, the issue with all translations of this message was the inital misleading message description. On request of the Wikibase developers I have deleted all translation to make sure that all translators read the new message description and translate then on the new base.

I see many Javanese messages with inconsistency on the spelling. I find it is tiring and boring to correct them one by one. Can I use bot here for correcting Javanese incorrect spelling? I've listed some standard terms here.

Please request this on Support.

Thanks

Hi, I find Javanese spelling problem in Javanese Wikipedia Notification interface. It should be written Dhésèmber (Javanese), not Desember (Indonesian). I'm going to correct it but cannot locate where the respective message in this site. Could you please help me finding it? I also find that the other months also have wrong spelling. Thank you in advance.

Here is the screenshot

Have you tried using Special:SearchTranslations?

Yes. I've tried searching the Indonesian & Javanese messages in MediaWiki for words Desemeber and Dhésèmber respectively. All Indonesian and Javanese messages are in correct spelling, but the above mentioned interface is still wrong. By wrong I mean the spelling is in Indonesian, but the interface is meant for Javanese.

CLDR?

Thank you! I'll try it.

Hello.Please make me translation administrator for a day for testing.Thank you

Thanks for merging!

Thread:Support/Some_messages_for_Pickle_should_be_deleted.

In MediaWiki:Pickle-report-adapt-wrap-skip/fr # skip $1 becomes sauter $1 without diesis, why ?

Hi Christian, the # was never there, see history. It was introduced today with the change in the English message. This means the translators have to add the #. Raymond 19:33, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

ok I have misunderstood; difficult to follow the history. Thanks.

It is me, I try to reuse messages that should be similar. (Short version: Me messa up!)

I changed a few message keys, and updated them accordingly in the repo, both at GitHub and Gerrit. Still I see you moved a lot of them on site. Is it anything additionally I should have done? I was wondering abot this when I changed the keys. The class names had changed, and I updated the keys to reflect that.

This is about the change form MediaWiki:Pickle-report-result-* to MediaWiki:Pickle-report-adapt-*

I moved them to keep translatewiki clean. Nothing you can do in advance. Maybe one thing: Send a patch for updating the translatewiki.net configuration like I did in Gerrit:344089. But only if you have time. Otherwise I do it by myself.

Can you see why is this happening? I have noticed on these translations [1] [2] [3]. Maybe there's more, I don't know.

@MaGa: Sorry for the late answer, I was busy that last days. Today I have checked the status of the translations. By chance the issue was aleady fixed by May, 31th with Gerrit:292016. A new translation trigged the export of language hr.

Today I have done a full export of all translations for TempateDate extension with Gerrit:293898 to fix the issue of changed message keys for all languages.

Great. Thank you very much.

There's more messages with the same problem (e.g. math-visualeditor-mwlatexdialog-card-options/hr, math-visualeditor-mwlatexinspector-display/hr, math-visualeditor-mwlatexinspector-display-block/hr, math-visualeditor-mwlatexinspector-display-default/hr, math-visualeditor-mwlatexinspector-display-inline/hr, math-visualeditor-mwlatexinspector-id/hr, all moved on February, 22nd 2017). Can you check it please?

I made a full export for all languages of the Math extension today: Gerrit:342174 and was astonished, that hr was not part of it. Because it was part of yesterdays regular export: Gerrit:342121. Magic :-)

Thanks.

Thank you for translations for the Pickle extension! =)

You are welcome :-)

See pls this link Gorizon (talk) 15:55, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the pointer, I will have a look shortly.

Sehr geehrter Herr Raymond! Bei der Übersetzung in diqwiki ist ein gewisser Kumkumuk (besser bekannt als Erdemaslancan) am Werke. Er ist ständig unter unzählig verschiedenen Benutzernamen (wie Gorizon, Marmase etc.) tätig. Er ist allerdings der zazaischen Sprache nicht mächtig. Obwohl er deswegen mehrmals blockiert wurde, ruiniert er weiterhin das ganze Projekt. Damit raubt er uns seit Jahren sehr viel Zeit und Nerven. Könnten Sie uns eventuell in dieser verzwickten Angelegenheit helfen. Ich danke Ihnen im Voraus sehr dafür und verbleibe mit freundlichen Grüßen.

Hallo Mirzali, leider kann ich hier nicht wirklich helfen, da ich die Sprache nicht spreche. Bitte frage auf Support in Englischer Sprache um Hilfe. Danke.

Coud you help me with this message? Siebrand delete message but it remains deployed on wikis

Hi Milićević, I checked the file sr.json. Besides the requested message it contains 2 other translations. Should I delete them too?

Yeah, everything shoud be kept in sr-ec.json

File deleted with gerrit:283655 pending review.

Ok, tnx

Is something is wrong? Ten days has passed and message is still deployed

Hi. As discuss here, could you try the follwing regex in Special:ReplaceText for theese messages?

~ $ cat test.txt

[[:$1]] and {{PLURAL:$2|one page|$2 pages}} added to category

~ $ sed -r 's/(\{\{PLURAL.*\}\})/[[Special:WhatLinksHere\/$1|\1]]/' test.txt

[[:$1]] and [[Special:WhatLinksHere/$1|{{PLURAL:$2|one page|$2 pages}}]] added to category

Let me know if you need help. I'm not familiar with ReplaceText and what sort of regex it accepts.

UPDATE: also here

Sorry, I am not a regex expert. Someone else should handle this request.

This can't be done with ReplaceText, because there is no reliable way to skip the messages where Special:WhatLinksHere already exists; moreover, some messages have multiple occurrences of PLURAL and other exceptions. For such small replacements, doing manually saves a lot of time; if you want to exercise with regexes, I recommend using pywikibot which has way better regex handling, presents you the diff and lets you confirm it, and many other features.

You can still ask about ReplaceText for bigger replacements of course.
