Hello Everyone,

I have a small remark concerning the latest tech news. Bawolff changed the frozen issue on Sunday to indicate that MediaWiki was not deployed due to localization issues.

https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tech%2FNews%2F2014%2F15&diff=8080351&oldid=8071894

Given that I'm usually late in doing my translations, I realized the change just before I leave the page. But most of the translators, mostly the guys who finalize their translations on Saturday, missed the update.

Would it be best for translators to bookmark the current issue to track such sudden changes or is there a better solution?



Kind Regards,
Aya Saif El-yazal Mahfouz

        This was my fault, nobody noticed it since end of 2013 in the
        early translation !

        It is fixed.

            I see something strange on
            https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2014/15/nl

            This line is incorrect: "2014, *15. Wort *(maandag 07
            april 2014)". In English it says "2014, *week 15* (Monday
            07 April 2014)". In Dutch it should be the same as in
            English ("week 15"). Where can this be corrected?

            Cheers!

                In fact only 14: exclude German and Korean whose only
                translations are generic items recurring each week;
                and possibly Japanese as well that just adds 2
                effective items translated (in planned changes, bit
                none in effective changes).

                I wonder why German gets no translation since long;
                given the number of German Wikimedians.

                It's less surprising for Korean even if (South) Korea
                has excellent level of Internet coverage since long
                (but also its older and popular cooperative and social
                platforms, explaining why Wikimedia is not so
                successful there). But may be most Koreans don't feel
                the need to translate English (because many of them
                have excellent education levels and can easily read
                English; but educated Koreans may have chosen another
                secondary language than only English, such as Chinese,
                Thai, Indonesian, Japanese, Spanish or Arabic and
                would like to get translations from English to their
                primary Korean language).

                Or may be there are specific difficulties for
                translating technical English to Korean (we are
                speaking about tech news here, not general news, songs
                and poems). It's rare to find technical documents
                written in Korean on the Internet (much more than in
                Chinese or Japanese).
