Hello Amir! May I ask for your help please? I've been working hard on translating messages in Interslavic (as I am writing this, 77% of the Wikimedia core messages are done), but there are a few things I can't figure out, so I hope you can help me with those:

1. On Portal:Isv the name of the language doesn't show up for some reason. I suppose the header should be: "sh: Interslavic, medžuslovjansky / меджусловјанскы".
2. The Babel boxes don't work either, even though they seem to be working for other languages that are disabled.
3. How can I make plurals work for Interslavic? Based on Plural/Mediawiki_plural_rules it should be "Rule K" as in most other Slavic languages.
4. Several other languages have an option for noun cases. I've used those in my translations (like: {{GRAMMAR:locative|...}}), but I've no idea how to have that implemented. If that is problematic, I'll think of a workaround.
5. How can I get genitives in dates (f.ex. 1 januara)?
6. I have a problem with translating MediaWiki:Copyright/isv-latn.
7. Is it possible to have Interslavic (at least the Latin version of it) enabled on other wikis, too? That would help greatly in detecting errors and fixing inconsistencies.

I hope that's not too much at a time! Thank you in advance!

1. Maybe because only "isv-latn" and "isv-cyrl" were defined, but not "isv"? Perhaps @Jon Harald Søby, who made the configuration change, has a quick solution?..
2. I suspect that it's for the same reason as #1.
3. That will require a core MediaWiki patch in Git. Can you please report a separate Phabricator task?
4. Same as #3.
5. I think that you already did everything that was needed for this by translating January-gen ("January"), etc. We'll see whether it works after the language is enabled for user interface, which will probably happen very soon.
6. It's protected for technical reasons (which I actually want to remove, but it will take some time and effort). Please send me the translation as a reply here and I'll publish it.
7. As with #5: Now that the % of translation is much more than 13, which is the defined threshold, full support for the language will soon be added to core MediaWiki, and once the version is updated on those wikis, it will be fully available there.

Thank you!

• As for #3/4: to be quite honest, I haven't the faintest idea how to do that. All those technicalities are pretty much black magic to me! Is there some kind of beginner's guide for that?
• #6. Here goes: Sodržanje jest dostupno pod licencijeju $1, ako ne jest napisano inače. (interestingly, I was able to translate it in the Most Important Messages, but not in the Core messages)
• #7. And after that's done, it will still be possible to make corrections, right? Because sometimes it's hard to translate something correctly when the context is missing!

3/4: see mw:Phabricator

6: Done.

7: Of course, it's always possible to make corrections. Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 15:51, 30 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
