Help needed with Help:Gadget-ACDC

Many subpages of Help:Gadget-ACDC are in Category:Pages_with_script_errors. There are no Lua errors on those pages but they can not be purged like other pages by null edits.

Translator administrators help needed

Hello! Could the first lines from this page be added to the translation interface? Yes, they are already giant and give some kind of sence that something wrong there, btw, I think it would be better to add them for translations.

General help - Translation

Hello! I'm an admin from SqWiki. Can someone help me with translation in regard to this project we've set up? I've set up the translation tags but I've never worked with translations before so I don't know if I've done it correctly. Any kind of help would be appreciated. :) - Klein Muçi (talk) 00:09, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Klein Muçi, oh, the pages are in Albanian. Since translation only works from one source language, I would suggest rewriting the project page in English and then it would be possible to add /sq subpages and translate into other languages as well. Ата ^(talk) 18:32, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello, there is another way. Here we just need to change the "Page content language" from English to Albanian. An example can be seen here. আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 19:57, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Elcobbola, Kaganer, VIGNERON, could one of you check Commons:Gara e fotografisë së ushqimit tradicional shqiptar - 2022 and mark it for translation? Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 21:15, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) Unless Ата's already solved the problem. ;-) Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 21:17, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

@Klein Muçi techically, source page may be in any language (see above). But i'm strongly DON't recommends this way for Your case. Other translators may be dificultly taranslate from Albanian. My advise:

rename these pages into */sq (for keeping current content):
Create in the initial pages these same content, but in English version
Marking these pages for translate (i'm will help)
Import albanian content into new scheme (i'm will help)

--Kaganer (talk) 21:36, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

@Whatamidoing (WMF), thank you for your help! :))

@Ата, @Kaganer, thank you also! Is there an absolute necessity to have the "source text" in English for this to work? If it can be done to work with the current Albanian text in its current form, I'd appreciate it. I can write the English version after this is set up. If it would require substantial changes, then we can leave it without translations this time given that the event is in regard to Albanian foods and its target audience is generally Albanians. But even if that was the case, I'd appreciate knowing the exact steps needed to make something like that possible for future cases. - Klein Muçi (talk) 00:19, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Nope:) Sourse pages may be in any language, absolutely. Just you should be set correct language for these pages through Special:PageLanguage (before marking to translations).
I write exclusively about convenience for translators. During the translation process, you cannot arbitrarily select the source language. And everyone will have to translate from Albanian. And there are far fewer such people than those who know English. In addition, the Google translator works better in language pairs with English. --Kaganer (talk) 00:36, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

For your purposes, you may just create /en subpages (as ordinary wikitext) for each your project pages, and then link them through custom navbar. --Kaganer (talk) 00:43, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Kaganer, ooh, you can't select what source language you use for translation... Now I understand why it is important for it to be in English. Well can we go on while keeping the source as Albanian in this case and then for future cases switch to English maybe? The reason why I say that is because my community has already started an advertising campaign in social medies with that link and they'd be be "upset" if the same link suddenly showed an English text as default for non-registered users, which is what the campaign will more or less target. - Klein Muçi (talk) 01:44, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Yoг may. There will be some difficulties, but I have already handled such situations that we can handle. For the future, for campanies targeting unregistered users, I advise you to use the link with ?uselang=sq, and, in addition, shorten it through Special:UrlShortener. And make whole landing page in the "autotranslate mode" (as {{Translated tag}} depends from user interface language). --Kaganer (talk) 01:55, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Kaganer, oh, so there is a way to fix the language that we want to display. Thank you! I'm very new on this whole translation thing.

Okay then, what will I need to do by my part to continue with the translation task from the current state? Me and some other member from the Albanian community have been playing around with the translations tags throughout the pages, trying to get it to work so they're a bit in a messed up state currently. - Klein Muçi (talk) 02:23, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Klein Muçi, You want starting translation of your project pages, so? --Kaganer (talk) 02:35, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Kaganer, well, yes. The idea was to start having the translation infrastructure (that template with the languages available and all) for the current project pages in their current form, so using Albanian as the source text. What do I need to do exactly? How do I get that template at the top of the pages and the possibility to translate those pages in other languages if I so choose? - Klein Muçi (talk) 03:00, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

For starting translations needed participation of the Translation Admin.
All is done. I'm create one additional page Commons:Gara e fotografisë së ushqimit tradicional shqiptar - 2022/CategoryHeader - your category is not acceptable for translations. This will be shown for users in their interface. language. --Kaganer (talk) 03:09, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Kaganer, ooh, thanks a lot! I'll deal with the English translation soon.

Can you do me one last favor? Given that we've set up all /subpages names in Albanian, can you also Move without leaving an redirect behind Commons:Gara e fotografisë së ushqimit tradicional shqiptar - 2022/CategoryHeader to Commons:Gara e fotografisë së ushqimit tradicional shqiptar - 2022/Kreu i kategorisë just for consistency and standardization reasons?

So: Commons:Gara e fotografisë së ushqimit tradicional shqiptar - 2022/CategoryHeader → Commons:Gara e fotografisë së ushqimit tradicional shqiptar - 2022/Kreu i kategorisë - Klein Muçi (talk) 03:24, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

You may translate every page separately or may use this link to aggregate group, contain all your translate items from all project pages --Kaganer (talk) 03:20, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Kaganer, thank you very much for the provided help! I was starting to lose hope I would ever get this done. Just one more question: When I open the link you just gave me now, it offers me to translate in Albanian, not from Albanian. Logically it should be the other way. Is that normal? I'm just asking out of curiosity because I can easily translate page by page without any problem, no big deal. - Klein Muçi (talk) 03:37, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Ops! It seems that aggregated groups only work for English originals. I will investigate this. I'm sorry! --Kaganer (talk) 03:45, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Nikerabbit, it sounds like fixing phab:T301311 and phab:T281073 would help in this situation. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 18:32, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

By way, You plan using Upload Wizard campaign for your contest? I don' see campain tag in your link under upload button. --Kaganer (talk) 03:47, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Kaganer, the initial idea (take a look) was to do that but we didn't know how to do it and we settled for just an upload button. Apparently that's another thing that only admins can do. We'd like to use that if it is possible. - Klein Muçi (talk) 04:02, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Kaganer, can you put for translation also this page so I can translate it's wikilink from Gara e fotografisë së ushqimit tradicional shqiptar - 2022/Juria to

Traditional Albanian food photography competition - 2022/The jury? I've done the same for every other page. Besides we might put more text there as the jury gets elected in the following days. - Klein Muçi (talk) 04:04, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Done And also i'm moved all project pages into subcategory. By Commons rules, all categories is named in English. Your main category may be temprary kept in Albanian, but will be better also rename this before starting mass uploads. --Kaganer (talk) 04:22, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Kaganer, yeah thanks a lot! You are right on that one. We can move that category now to conserve some energy from everyone when the mass uploads start.

Category:Gara e fotografisë së ushqimit tradicional shqiptar - 2022 → Category:Traditional Albanian food photography competition - 2022 - Klein Muçi (talk) 04:26, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Finished all the English translations. Please tell me when you move the category so I change the guiding text that says users should use the Albanian one. (I could move it myself but I can't delete the old one while you can move without creating redirects.)

After that's done, if we can also deal with the upload wizard campaign topic it would be good. - Klein Muçi (talk) 04:49, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Done again. All links to category also updated. --Kaganer (talk) 06:36, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Kaganer, thank you! I changed the text as well. Do we delete the old category?

Now, can you help us configure the UploadWizard? What information do you need in regard to it? You already know the category and the date is from February 7th to February 28 2022. Any other information needed in regard to it? - Klein Muçi (talk) 09:19, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

1. Category marked for deletion
2. About UploadWizard - this is not for me ;) I don't have experience with configuring this tool. --Kaganer (talk) 14:06, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@Kaganer, thank you so much for all the help though! :)) Do you know who I can ask about UW? - Klein Muçi (talk) 14:14, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

IMHO, firstly You may ask especial flag - see Commons:Upload Wizard campaign editors
Secondly, you may read content of Commons:Upload campaigns and asking to one from user from this list (with recent activity).
Or ask in technical forum. --Kaganer (talk) 14:34, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Вікі любить пам'ятки 2022 в Україні / Wiki Loves Monuments 2022 in Ukraine

Привіт!

Цього року українська частина міжнародного фотоконкурсу «Вікі любить пам'ятки» пройде з 1 по 31 жовтня — через російське вторгнення в Україну також довелося змінити умови: тільки світлини зроблені до 23 лютого 2022 року включно будуть прийматися в основній частині конкурсу.

В Україні цей конкурс пройде вже водинадцяте. На конкурс можна подавати власні фото пам'яток історико-культурної спадщини України — і змагатися за призи. Більше можна прочитати за посиланням.

Радимо ознайомитися із детальними правилами, а також із відповідями на часті питання. Як і того року — у номінації «За найбільшу кількість сфотографованих пам’яток» можна отримати 21 бал за фотографії об'єктів, якщо світлин цієї пам'ятки раніше не було завантажено.

Нагадаємо, що всі фотографії автоматично беруть участь у номінації «За найбільшу кількість сфотографованих пам’яток»; однак для того, щоб фото позмагалося у номінації «Найкраще фото», потрібно підтвердити це при завантаженні.

Цього року знову пройде спецномінація «Відео» — для участі робіт у цій спецномінації не потрібно обирати нічого у Завантажувачі — роботи зараховуватимуться автоматично з відповідних списків.

Усі номінації та спецномінації конкурсу описані тут.

Приєднуйтеся!

Зі списками пам'яток можна ознайомитися тут. Більше інформації про конкурс дивіться за посиланням. Щоб отримувати інформацію про новинки у конкурсі — підпишіться на наші блог та сторінку у фейсбук.

Важливо! Цього року ми проводимо конкурс вже за чинним адміністративно-територіальним устроєм.

Якщо у Вас є запитання, можете звертатися wlm wikimedia.org.ua чи у фейсбук – З повагою, Оргкомітет «Вікі любить пам'ятки». 20:28, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Request to merge some units in COM:GNL

Units in Commons:Use of gender neutral language#Examples should be combined into one unit.

An example says:

"If you want to use a photographer’s picture, please ask their permission first."

Fine. The "singular they" is sometimes controversial, but is now generally accepted.

Singular they only exists in English, and gender neutral pronoun may not exist in some languages. That makes translating impossible. Though gender neutral pronoun exists in target language, exact (word-by-word) translation of example sentences may not exist.

Another examples say:

"If you want to use a photographer’s picture, please ask her permission first."

Avoid. This makes an unwarranted assumption that the photographer is identifiable as female.

"If you want to use a photographer’s picture, please ask his permission first."

Avoid. This makes an unwarranted assumption that the photographer is identifiable as male.

"If you want to use a photographer’s picture, please ask his or her permission first."

Avoid. This makes an unwarranted binary assumption that the photographer identifies as either male or female. This is considered to be non-gender neutral and can appear unwelcoming to readers who identify as neither.

Pronouns in some (or most?) languages (Cantonese 佢, Georgian ის, Thai เขา, Turkish o, etc.) don't distinguish gender. Translating these examples is impossible.

Implementations of this policy in different languages should be considered case by case instead of copying them in English blindly. --沈澄心 ✉ 05:07, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

@沈澄心, This is an interesting case. If I were to translate any of these sentences into Urdu, no matter if it is his/her/they whatever, the Urdu translation would be something similar. His/her generally would be referred to as "ٗاس کی" (singular), and they to "ان کی" (both singular and plural), but I'd generally use the latter for all the three cases, because it is way more respectful and friendly. Similarly, translating please ask his or her permission first, would be very much difficult, because it would be the same thing on the both sides of "or". ─ The Aafī (^talk) 18:18, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Asking for advice!

There is a template {{Cultural Heritage Russia}} with the following text in its sub-template {{Cultural Heritage Russia/layout}} which I don't know how technically and correctly make translatable or just translate in Russian. Any practical advice would be appreciated!

@Pacha Tchernof, do you still need help with this? ─ The Aafī (^talk) 18:28, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

A helpful tip is that you consider creating a sub-template, Template:Cultural Heritage Russia/i18n and get it marked for translation. It would be something like Template:KARI-source/i18n. It is almost identical to your case. Have a look at: Template:KARI-source and Template:KARI-source/layout as well. Best, ─ The Aafī (^talk) 18:35, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
