Hello,<br><br>1/<br>I'm quite new to translation, so, first question (related to outdating):<br>do we have a template to indicate which version/revision was translated?<br>That would allow to have easily a diff between what was translated and the
<br>current original article.<br><br>On fr.wp, for example, when an article becomes featured, there is a banner at the bottom <br>( e.g. <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_safavide">http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_safavide
</a> , scroll at bottom )<br>where the link "comparer avec la version actuelle" allows to view the diff between<br>the version that was elected featured and the current revision.<br><br>2/<br>The template above could/should be hidden on published pages (on foundation?),
<br>but available for translators (on meta?).<br>But I think it would be good to at least always have a disclaimer saying<br>"This page was last updated on 15 November 2005", so that people reading<br>it at least can know that it is one year old and may not be accurate.
<br>Maybe we can add something like "the original English version may be<br>more uptodate"?<br><br>3/<br>I'm wondering if someone know of a better tool for translations and keeping things<br>uptodate. Is there some system which, for example, would automatically add an "outdated"
<br>tag when the original is updated?<br>I'm sure the current mediawiki software is not the best for this (though, not that bad),<br>but I don't know what other tools are available.<br>Do professional translators have such concerns? (Sabine, are you here...? ;-) )
<br><br>Thanks,<br>Kip.<br><br>
