Request to translate MediaWiki messages

I would like to ask you to correct MediaWiki messages:

  • Wikibase-mylanguagefallbackchain-verbatim-item – in most of the languages there is " - " (hyphen) instead of " – " (dash).
  • Mobile-frontend-languages-header-page – as above.

Thank you in advance. maro21 (talk) 21:00, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@maro21: I'm not sure what you're asking. Do you want to change dash to hyphen in the English message, or change hyphen to dash in all other languages? Jon Harald Søby (talk) 12:16, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The hyphen is obviously incorrect between two spaces. maro21 (talk) 23:36, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can delete it, but why not just translate it? Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 00:28, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's not worth of effort and message isn't that important. Milićević (talk) 18:02, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I deleted it, although I'd say that translating the whole Discussiont Tools extension is among the most important tasks for good functioning of Wikipedia in any language. But it's up to you. Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 21:35, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My hope is that message will become simpler with time or someone else will do it :)

MediaWiki:Uploadnotallowed

Hello, is it possible to create such a page? Or is there such a page. I couldn't find it. Regards, Turkmen (talk) 09:19, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Turkmen: Hi, I am not sure what you want to do. Can you explain a bit more? Jon Harald Søby (talk) 12:00, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jon Harald Søby, for example, there is such a page. A note of permission is placed here purely for move. But I didn't come across the same regarding file upload. There is a general page about fileupload where it is written whether it is allowed or not. And this page is versatile, meaning it's not just about the file. I would like to make some notes locally if there was a page like this one just about the file. Turkmen (talk) 12:10, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Translate a bot on TranslateWiki

Hello. I would like to translate some phrases from my bot that I use for data entry on Wikidata, so that I can enter records in multiple languages rather than just a couple of languages that I know. These are strings such as {{year}} television series directed by {{director}}, {{year}} animated mini-series directed by {{director}}, webseries, animated film, television film, etc. Is it possible to open a project here on TranslateWiki for this purpose? --Wiccio (talk) 09:53, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See Translating:New project. Your bot needs to be in a version control system like git, have an open source license and a supported file format. Nike (talk) 09:07, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion request

If someone could please delete the translation at MediaWiki:Wikimedia-help-translate-prompt/se, I would appreciate it. The translation is not in Northern Sámi (se). Thanks! -Kimberli Mäkäräinen (WMNO) (talk) 08:11, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also there may be more, since confusing Swedish (*.se) and Northern Saami (se) is quite common, but this is the only one I've run across so far. - Kimberli Mäkäräinen (WMNO) (talk) 08:38, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removing a message from export

Last week, I added !!FUZZY!! to a bunch of messages (e.g. [1]). I thought that it would cause them to be removed from the .json files exported to MediaWiki, as documented at Quick guide to editing translatewiki.net. However, they are still there: [2]. What do? Matma Rex (talk) 03:38, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Matma Rex: I think the only way to remove a message like you want is to actually delete it. My understanding is that adding !!FUZZY!! will just not export that message until the fuzzy is removed again. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 09:59, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jon Harald Søby Hmm, I didn't want to do that, since I feel like having the previous translations available would be helpful for translators fixing this problem. Would it work then if I removed them manually from the .json files in Git? Or can you suggest some other way to do this? (For context, I'm trying to fix T361695, where certain identical translations are causing issues with some special pages.) Matma Rex (talk) 18:16, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Translated MantisBT 'qqq' strings

Hello,

I just noticed that our 'qqq' documentation strings are all in some Eastern-European looking language, instead of English.

According to Git history, this occurred in 2 TW commits, in September 2023:

- https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt/commit/ea5df57fe4d69d718d9221bf7734c8af1a968d67

- https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt/commit/375959e017ae55db10135ed3e374548dbedb4781

This was apparently done by user @Zexmax, who at the same time also submitted serbian_latin translations for MantisBT and bundled plugins. I am not sure whether the changes to 'qqq' were intentional or by mistake.

Can you please advise, on how to best fix this ? Can I simply revert the changes in Git ? Is there some special actions on your end ?

Thanks in advance -- Damien 14:52, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dregad: Thanks for the heads-up! I have deleted and/or reverted all the qqq changes from Zexmax, so the automatic updates should take care of the rest. I.e. no need to manually revert the changes in Git. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 13:31, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you @Jon Harald Søby ! -- Damien 15:39, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
