Hi, I guess we don't have a written form policy of credit or even common one. My recommendation for wmf editors who publish the translation from meta to wmf site is using [[meta:special:Import]] for moving the files to wmf site which enables us to preserve the original history, but sometimes it takes a time and I understand not always it hasn't be kept.
Another solution, I believe once Wing suggested too, might be putting the translators' credit on the page in a much more visible way, not only relying history page alone, but it has not been taken into serious consideration to implement ... yet. What do you guys think the latter solution? Is anyone (preferably a MW developer) interested in?
