Dear SMW users & developers, we enjoy an awesome internationalisation support from translatewiki.net, which ceaselessly translates MW extensions (and more) into a huge number of languages.
To work smoothly, this also needs some help from the user/developer community, since translators are sometimes not sure about how a message is used (e.g. the word "view" could mean many things, and needs to be translated differently in each case). If there is a problem, "Open Requests" are created [1] (supported by SMW :-). Currently, there are 5 open requests related to SMW, Validator, SRF, and Semantic Expressivity [2] which could use some looking into. More generally, the translatewiki.net community could always use the help of users who are familiar with the software and can clarify the intended meaning of a message. Various projects are lacking message documentation (language code "qqq"), e.g. SRF [3]. This is something where users who are familiar with the software could help by writing short documentations. This can be done directly on translatewiki.net, without any developer access to the code. If you would like to help out, please have a look at translatewiki.net. They have a lot of documentation on how everything works (it is usually quite easy). Part of the task is to chase the right people, so don't hesitate to email the developer if something is unclear. I am sure that some of you are already working with translatewiki anyway. Yet, the folks at translatewiki are often not sure whom to ask about certain issues -- if you think you could manage this a bit (i.e., become the main contact for translating S* extensions) then you are most welcome to let us know.
