I do not see a new translation group is necessary for your purposes. In fact I see few posibilities:
- you may recycle translations in the i18n folder if it fits - if your script is able to be distributed we could commit (with i18n extension) - I am implementing translated bot owner messages wich (hopefull) coming soon. If so, you may check whether there are messages to re-use - finally we could implement bot-specific messages as part of the pwb framework and port them to translatewiki like other messages. We could handle with drtrigonbot.py, xqbot.py valhallasw-bot.py as well. Maybe they should get a thirdparty-suffix. best regards xqt ----- Original Nachricht ---- Von: Merlijn van Deen <[email protected]> An: Pywikipedia discussion list <[email protected]> Datum: 30.08.2011 13:23 Betreff: Re: [Pywikipedia-l] [Pywikipedia-svn] SVN: [9448] trunk/pywikipedia/pywikibot/i18n.py > On 28 August 2011 13:27, Dr. Trigon <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I'm thinking about a good implementation for translations.
