Hello,
It shouldn't be a completely new translation, only an improvement (in
our opinion).
In the current version, there are not-translated segments, false
translations, mistakes in grammar and orthography and maybe mistakes in
the consistency.
Our work will include a lot of quality assurance and an increasement of
the accessability...the second part is more important...a little
example:
No one here (neither me) has known, what "bounce processing" is (its
actually translated with "Bounce-Erkennung"). Now, i know what it
is...but i had to read in wikipedia. You know what i mean? We think, its
possible to found everytime a term in the target language to explain for
everyone, whats exactly meant.

using translatewiki.net and are waiting for feedback from
translators.)

We (some fellow students and I) come from germany and study software
localization at Anhalt University of applied science. We have to
work on
a lokalization project for our studies.
Hello and welcome, glad to hear you're willing to work on MediaWiki
localisation.
Yes, we know that there is still a german translation. however we
have
found some mistakes in it and in some cases, it is hard to
understand
for people, who don't work very often with the computer (for example
elderly people). We want to create a version with more accessability
based on the current german version.
I'm not sure what you're asking here, but I suggest to work on the
existing translation; creating another fake language like de-formal
is
not a good idea IMHO.
After registering on translatewiki.net, you can review the existing
translations, also with its quality assurance tools,[1] [2] and
propose the changes which you find necessary to your fellow
translators,[2] if necessary by building a structured glossary.[3]
Only if it proves impossible we can think of other ways.
