Localization

Thank you to the Hakka community; the Hakka Wikipedia is only one step away from creation. Before the wiki can be created, we need to translate the main interface messages. This page will serve as a place for centralized discussion and coordination, while the actual translation will be on the BetaWiki (see BetaWiki instructions and a full list of Hakkainterface messages). If you have any problems, comments, suggestions, or questions, feel free to post below and we will be sure they are addressed.

While it would be even better to translate the entire interface, some of it isn't very important and can be translated later. If you see any messages you think don't need to be translated, feel free to mention them here.

The following messages don't need translation before final approval (although you are free to translate them anyway). The * symbol followed by a number means that several messages beginning with that are unneeded. For example, unlock* (6) means that six messages with names starting with "unlock" (unlockdb, unlockdbtext, unlockconfirm, unlockbtn, unlockdbsuccesssub, and unlockdbsuccesstext) are unneeded.

• common* (2)
• edittools
• exif-* (273)
• export* (7)
• feed* (2)
• import* (27)
• lock* (8)
• mainpagedocfooter
• mainpagetext
• metadata* (6)
• monobook* (2)
• pagetitle
• unlock* (6)

I can't emphasize this enough: if you have any problems, comments, suggestions, or questions, feel free to post below and we will be sure they are addressed. There's no reason for anyone to be confused or uncertain if we can help it. :) Jon Harald Søby 21:42, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

:Hi Mr Søby and thankyou very much for the conditional approval. I have logged into BetaWiki and read this statement:

"You must have an account at BetaWiki and be in the translator group. You should have selected the language you want to translate from preferences as your current language".

I wish to join the translator group so to enable the translation of the Hakka Interface —— can you tell me how to? Thanks. --Hakka 07:46, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

The problem has been solved now. --Hakka 08:03, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Hakka Interface Translation Completed

All the interface messages (apart from the 273 "exif-*" messages) have been translated into the Hakka language. --Hakka 22:42, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

All the articles have been manually "imported" into hak.wiki. Only the Interface Messages in BetaWiki need to be imported. --Hakka 07:59, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

The localization files have been imported; the interface at hak.wikipedia.org should update automatically as soon as the files go live within a day or two. —{admin} Pathoschild 11:56:01, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
