Hello, some of you may have noticed that the tooltips in your wiki are not translated and are still english.
Well, I wanted to help and try to help MediaWiki by translating the responsible parts of the javascript into German. I've downloaded the LanguageDe.php, cause i thought there i would find this part of the JS. But i can't find it. Can you say me wich file i have to edit?
PS: to prevent misunderstanding: I don't want to make this only for my wiki. I want to edit the file and give it to MW, so that in future no one else will have this problem ;-)
-S.W.

The message these are defined in is, I believe, "monobook.js" (global JavaScript for MonoBook skin). There are also some messages called "tooltip-..." and "accesskey-...", but these are possibly no longer used (if this can be confirmed, they should be removed from LanguageXX.php, really). So you were looking in exactly the right place, I think.
See also http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Monobook.js, for the German Wikipedia's version (and http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Allmessages for possible other translated messages)
