{{DISPLAYTITLE:Your_localized_title}} syntax to give the translated

Thankyou very much for telling us about this syntax!

I'm glad it works. :-) There are a lot of little hidden features in the Wiki, and even more that can be added through Extensions.


that could be done by a WIkiBot?

Yes. I can run a WikiBot over the Wiki to make any large changes necessary. It can work on a text file with a list of pages to be moved, a Catagory, or subpages. If you have a list of changes needed, just put together a list of what needs to be done, and I will get the WikiBot working on it.


Qa/vi/Testtool_FD6

Should those pages be changed to:

VI/QA/pagename

Only if you want to. There is no fixed rule here. What we are looking for is more of a general guideline with a focus on the Documentation section. If it makes sense to keep the QA pages as they are, then leave them. If you want them changed, we can change them. For individual pages, it is less critical to have things rigidly organized. For documentation, if things are neatly set up, we can start thinking about doing some interesting things with the translated documents... like generating PDF books for each language that a manual is translated into, and hopefully auto linking the translated books from one language to the next.


that has been the example set in the WikiMedia wikis. For example, in each of the WM wikis, "Main Page" is "Trang Chính" in Vietnamese, not "VI/Main_Page". Hopefully we can reverse this trend.

You also have to note that the WM wikis are likely using Namespaces to manage the various language groups... we are not (for several historical reasons) so all languages are in one big pile of Wiki pages instead of grouped into Namespaces. This means we need to put a little thought into what we are doing as we move forward and start adding more and more pages to the Wiki in more and more languages.


I would need to shift quite a few pages to new names, e.g.

Trang_Chính -> VI/Main_Page

Pages can be moved using a WikiBot if this is what each L10N community would like.


I think this is definitely a move in the right direction. It will take some work to convert everything, but once it is done, our wiki will have a much more logical structure, one that is much easier for users to follow and understand. :)

That is my hope. The question is still out there though.. is this the right way? or is there a better way? So far, this is the idea that seems to give us the greatest flexibility with a reasonable level if structure (eg if someone doesn't put a localized page into the subpage structure, it will not break anything).
