Talk:Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Rotuman

I've started the test page for Wikipedia Rotuman (see request here and test page here) and would like it listed on this page. How should I go about it? BTW do I need to become an administrator (in meta, en.wikipedia or incubator) to create the new wikipedia, or help it's testpage's development? --Mattbray 06:45, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Localization

Thank you to the Rotuman community; the Rotuman Wikipedia is only one step away from creation. Before the wiki can be created, we need to translate the main interface messages. This page will serve as a place for centralized discussion and coordination, while the actual translation will be on the BetaWiki (see BetaWiki instructions and a full list of Rotuman interface messages). If you have any problems, comments, suggestions, or questions, feel free to post below and we will be sure they are addressed.

While it would be even better to translate the entire interface, some of it isn't very important and can be translated later. If you see any messages you think don't need to be translated, feel free to mention them here.

The following messages don't need translation before final approval (although you are free to translate them anyway). The * symbol followed by a number means that several messages beginning with that are unneeded. For example, unlock* (6) means that six messages with names starting with "unlock" (unlockdb, unlockdbtext, unlockconfirm, unlockbtn, unlockdbsuccesssub, and unlockdbsuccesstext) are unneeded.

• common* (2)
• edittools
• exif-* (273)
• export* (7)
• feed* (2)
• import* (27)
• lock* (8)
• mainpagedocfooter
• mainpagetext
• metadata* (6)
• monobook* (2)
• pagetitle
• unlock* (6)

I can't emphasize this enough: if you have any problems, comments, suggestions, or questions, feel free to post below and we will be sure they are addressed. There's no reason for anyone to be confused or uncertain if we can help it. :) Jon Harald Søby 21:51, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Editing

Hi, thanks for your help. I've followed the link to this page and find it a little confusing. If I click on the blue 'edit' link for each core system message, the namespace is grey and I get the following msg:

This page provides interface text for the software, and is locked to prevent abuse.

This page has been locked to prevent editing.

You can view and copy the source of this page:

What do I have to do to chage my status such that I can edit that page? Also, do I need to provide info for this page? Thanks --Mattbray 07:33, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello Mattbray. Before you can translate, you need to join the 'translator' group on that wiki. See the instructions, or tell me your user name on that wiki and I'll arrange to give you translator access. —{admin} Pathoschild 22:05:22, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
