DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT

DON'T TRANSLATE


This page is a list of the most common and basic technical terms that are necessary for using the MediaWiki software.

The list is designed to be conveniently translatable to all the languages in which MediaWiki is used. It is not supposed to be an exhaustive glossary of all MediaWiki terms, but only of those that are the most necessary for all languages, and in particular, for bootstrapping localization in a new language and translating the Most important messages (also known as "Most used").

This list should be translated to all languages, including those in which MediaWiki already has a well-established terminology.

It includes both terms that have particular meaning in MediaWiki, such as "category" and "template", and general computer terms, such as "file" and "upload". See the "Questions and answers" section for an explanation about that.

The glossary is sorted alphabetically by the English name.

Bold text is used for emphasizing information about words that are often translated incorrectly.

Next to many terms, there are icons. Clicking these icons may provide more information:

User:Amire80/глоссарий/links/Wikipedia icon A link to the relevant encyclopedic article in the English Wikipedia that describes the thing in question. Check the interlanguage links of this article to find articles in other languages you may know.
User:Amire80/глоссарий/links/Wiktionary icon A link to the relevant page in the English Wiktionary. Make sure to read the definitions carefully and pick the one that is closest to the meaning you need. Many words in the English Wiktionary have translations to other languages. Scroll down, find the "Translations" list, find the translations list with the sense that interests you, and find your language. If your language is not listed, consider adding a translation to Wiktionary.
