Hi Rei-artur. Welcome to translatewiki.net!

You can now start translating.

You should also check the portal for your language, the link is in the sidebar. Other useful pages are linked in the menu next to this message.

Your translations are transferred to the standard product every few days or every few weeks, depending on the product. Please notice that it may take longer before you see your translation in the actual product.

We wish you a productive and pleasant stay. Please leave any questions on Support (the link is also available on any page, in the navigation sidebar). Cheers!

Pt-pt

Hi, please use code pt for MediaWiki! – Nike 08:12, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

The pt is a mixture of pt-pt and pt-br, so it's important there is also pt-pt. With the pt-pt I already can install a mediaWiki with the language spoken in Portugal, without having some expressions of Brazil.--Rei-artur 08:46, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Wouldn't it be a better idea to fix the current pt translation than start from a scratch and have two translations for two locales instead of three? – Nike 13:59, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

In my opinion and also the communities of speakers portuguese, like the existence of the 3 translations. If there were only 2 translations cause a conflict between the Brazilian and Portuguese community, because we would have to choose a translation as native, and so we would discriminate the other translation. All prefer the existence of the 3 translations.--Rei-artur 14:25, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

I will talk with Siebrand about this when he comes back. – Nike 16:05, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Bullshit. The only solution other than the current (using 'pt' and 'pt-br') would be using 'pt' as an empty fall back to 'pt-pt' and having 'pt-br', which would fall back to 'pt-pt'. As that latter is the former, just more complex, in essence nothing will be changed. Cheers! Siebrand 18:30, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
