Hey Gabriele,<div><br></div><div>Good to have you on board :)</div><div><br></div><div>Here is a quick run through on how to translate using the extension:</div><div><br></div><div>1) <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2012/Translation/Drop_down_banner">http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2012/Translation/Drop_down_banner</a> - This will take you to the source text which in this case is english. </div>
<div><br></div><div>2) You'll see "Translate this page" near the top, click that.</div><div><br></div><div>3) Select your language from the drop down menu and then click "fetch" on the right hand side.</div>
<div><br></div><div>4) Double click on a text that is highlighted in green</div><div><br></div><div>5) Translate! :D</div><div><br></div><div>There are other ways of getting to this screen via a notification, or via your languages semi-translated page but they will all take you to this interface.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Hope that helps :)</div><div><br></div><div>Seddon</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jan 22, 2013 at 6:32 PM, Gabriele Cesarini <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:g.cesarini@hotmail.it" target="_blank">g.cesarini@hotmail.it</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div>Hi, <br>
I am new to this, I subscribed to the list of translators, and I
would like to get started with it. I'm Italian, so I want to
translate texts from Russian and English into Italian.<br>
What is the first step to begin?<br>
Best regards,<br>

<blockquote type="cite"><div><div class="h5">Hey guys,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So I wanted to do two things, firstly a brief keeping you
guys in the loop on the state of the international fundraiser
and what to expect over the coming months. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As many of you may know from the metric's meetings and emails
to the wikimedia-l list last november, the plan is to shift from
the big push annual fundraiser to a more subtle, lower impact
year round fundraiser. This is going to be happening over the
coming months and I am sure that more details about how exactly
this will happen will appear in time. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>With regards to the international portion of the 12/13
fundraiser, we intend to restart testing in the top ten
languages in the coming weeks, with the remainder of languages
following later on. This means that you will start seeing
translation requests coming in somewhat regularly over the
coming months. Most of work that was done will still be used so
nothing has gone to waste but there is a greatly expanded thank
you portion to the fundraiser featuring numerous editors from
all backgrounds that will require alot of work. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are going to aim to try and keep a torrent of
notifications from being sent out so some will be sent out in
batches via a bot as well as through this mailing list to at
least reduce some of the annoyance. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you have any questions feel free to ask here or email me.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The final thing I wanted to ask is I could really do with
some <b>Italian </b>translations for this request: <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&taction=translate&group=page-Fundraising+2012%2FTranslation%2FDrop+down+banner&language=it&limit=100&task=view" target="_blank">http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&taction=translate&group=page-Fundraising+2012%2FTranslation%2FDrop+down+banner&language=it&limit=100&task=view</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Italian is going to be the first of the big languages to
undergo a big testing phase.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you :)</div>
