Yes. Current design is just a collection of templates of featured 
article, featured image and 'in the news'. A rough imitation of Swedish 
wiki.

Hoi,
Typically you have set in your preferences the language you want to localise
in. This will make the "translation tool" default to your language. Every
language has a portal page for instance
http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Portal:Hi for Hindi, there you find the
"translation tool" as well. In addition there is the "language statistics"
which is an alternate route into everything that needs localisation.

In addition people can give you the direct URL for something that needs
doing ..
http://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&group=out-wikimediamobile&language=hifor
instance is specifically for Wikimedia Mobile and Hindi. For some
messages some background is provided in the "qqq" messages ..

We provide support in our IRC channel: irc://freenode/mediawiki-i18n and you
can ask questions in our Support page :)
Thanks,
 GerardM

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Fwd: Progress

2010-02-28 Thread Shiju Alex 
Srikanth,

For Mobile Wiki, you need to translate messages listed on this page:
http://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&task=view&group=out-wikimediamobile&language=hi&limit=250

But I found that User Vsrawat
from Hindi Wikipedia has
already started translating it.


It is better to consult the veteran Marathi/Hindi wikipedians
Mahitgar
/Kaustub  before translating
messgaes to Hindi. They are translating the system messages (to
Hindi/Marathi) through translate wiki for more than 2 years now.

Always consult the local language wiki community regarding localization of
system messages.

Shiju

Hoi,
I completely agree. When the localisation for a language is done, it needs a
bit of work and coordination to enable the software for other MediaWiki
installations like Wiktionary as well.

There are in my opinion two things you can do, you can write to the
foundation or wikitech mailing list and you can write to the same mailing
lists asking for advice on the mobile mainpage you created for your
Wiktionary.. I am sure the last option will be more impressive and get you
more results :)

PS I know there are more languages spoken and written in India .. there are
only 25 messages to localise !
Thanks,
