Translation Help Needed: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:04, 25 January 2010

A group of translators have been working with us over the past months to prepare for a big change in the way we translate pages. When this becomes active, hopefully in just a few weeks now, it will make creation and maintenance of translations easier.

To complement that we are also working on ways to make translated pages more accessible for users, by making own-language-only Category pages. This is particularly important for those languages that do not use Latin script. This is where we need help. We are compiling tables of category names that will become our standard entries.

Each page has space for four languages to be entered. There are 22 words/phrases to be translated. We ask you to add {{Being_Edited}} to the top of the page and save before doing any work, to avoid edit conflicts. This will display the following box, which should be removed when you have finished:

Currently Being Edited

This page is currently being edited.
If this notice persists for an unreasonable time, please either notify irc.freenode.org #kde-www or report on Claus chr's Talk page

Note: Pages should not normally be marked for translation while they are being actively worked on

You will find the language tables on these pages:

Thank you for your time.
