Hello, I would like to apply to become a Meta translation admin. I've been a part of the German-language Wikipedia community since 2005 and I consider myself part of the Meta community as well, although I'm definitely not among the most active users on this wiki.
I just wanted to ask a translation admin for help but then thought, "Hey, I could just do this myself." I'll probably not be doing vast amounts of translation work, but I've done a few translations here and there over the years, such as translating project pages and newsletters, and would continue to do so in the future. I commit to following the existing rules and will try not to break too much :-)
Thank you for your support. Let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything I can clarify. --Gnom (talk) 21:04, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
- Hello, could you please show an example of some translation markup you have added to a page to make sure you are familiar with the syntax? ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 09:46, 12 October 2021 (UTC)- Hi, I thought that this would be my job after I have been granted translation admin rights. I have been editing pages using translation markup for years and I read the documentation, so I don't think that this should be a problem. --Gnom (talk) 10:39, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
- Translation administrator gives you the permission to mark a page for translation – the required translation markup can be inserted by anyone. Isn't that what you'd do before asking a translation administrator to mark it? ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 10:45, 12 October 2021 (UTC)- From my perspective, I would like to be able to do both, and I don't think that should be a problem. --Gnom (talk) 11:09, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
- Actually, Gnom, translation markup is really complex, because technical requirements are far away from our “ideal” syntax. That’s why we usually ask to translation adminship requesters to prepare a page for translation (translate tag addition) in order we check the markup and give advices to the future translation admin. Most of Meta’s pages have issues and we would like to avoid their expansion. -- Pols12 (talk) 18:36, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
