How does one get the upload wizard in any language other than English?

Re: [Translators-l] URGENT: Translations needed for Board elections
by Ryan Lomonaco 29 May '11

29 May '11

Apparently my last few messages didn't go through to this list. Hopefully this will work... With less than 19 hours until the Board elections start, there are an alarming number of languages where not all of the candidate statements are translated (seven of the top ten language Wikipedias are not completely translated!) * German (6 statements not translated) * Italian (1 statement) * Japanese (~8 statements) * Polish (2 statements) * Portuguese (13 statements) * Russian (~11 statements) * Spanish (13 statements) There are many more languages outside the top ten that are not completely translated. We want to make sure that voters have access to candidate information in as many languages as possible, and your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ryan -- [[User:Ral315]]

Translation Request: Offline Projects pages clarification
by Jessie Wild 24 May '11

24 May '11

Hello all - Thank you for the help thus far in the translations of the Offline Projects page! I realize I should have prioritized a few of the other pages in this grouping beyond the landing page, for those interested in contributing: * About Offline: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Offline_Projects/About_Offline * Content Development: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Offline_Projects/Content_Development * Content Library: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Offline_Projects/Library/OpenZIM_Content_Lib… * FAQ: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Offline_Projects/Offline_Help Of course, all the other pages are important too, but these are top :) Thank you again! Jessie ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jessie Wild <jwild(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Mon, May 23, 2011 at 12:34 PM Subject: Translation Request: Offline Projects pages To: translators-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Hi Translators! There has been a big push recently on work within Wikimedia to create & distribute offline projects relating to Wikipedia to extend reach into those areas of the world which lack consistent access to Internet. Much work has been done in this arena in English: resulting in lots of pages about the project almost exclusively in English. Recently, progress has been made in creating a selection of offline articles for use in schools from the Spanish Wikipedia, and an Offline Portuguese version is also in discussion. As such, it would be great to help facilitate these language projects through the expansion of the Offline Projects page on meta: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Offline_Projects Casey went through and added the navigation template to the pages, and it would be incredibly useful and helpful to expand upon the languages in which the information regarding this project are offered. All languages are eagerly welcome, but *Spanish & Portuguese* specifically are requested. Like almost all our wiki-pages, the timeline is open-ended, but it would be ideal to get the Spanish & Portuguese versions done by the *end of June*: prior to the Ibero-American Summit<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ibero-American_Wikimedia_Summit_2011>. Thanks so much for your help - please do reach out to me with your questions (and/or if you are interested in broader involvement with the offline work!) - Jessie -- *Jessie Wild Global Development, Manager Wikimedia Foundation * -- *Jessie Wild Global Development, Manager Wikimedia Foundation * -- *Jessie Wild Global Development, Manager Wikimedia Foundation *

2011 Board Elections; candidate submissions about to start
by Jon Harald Søby 10 May '11

10 May '11

Hello again, folks. I would like to ask again that you take a look at the translation page for the 2011 board elections, here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_elections/2011/Translation Many languages have been translated (thanks to the people who have helped with that!), but there are still some pages that were translated in the 2009 elections that aren't done this year. As I said previously, we have tried to keep the pages as similar as possible to the 2009 ones, so it should not be too big an effort to translate if your language was translated in 2009. Additionaly, candidate submissions are set to be started in three days (May 2), and that is usually the biggest bulk of the translation work. As the candidates come in I will post here once the candidates are verified to be eligible, so that you will get notifications on when they can be translated. One should not start translating before they are verified, because in my experience quite a few people submit their candidacies without actually being eligible. Thask you very much for your continued efforts, we really appreciate it. On behalf of the election committee, Jon Harald Søby <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Jon_Harald_S%C3%B8by>

Fwd: Announcement: UploadWizard is coming as default uploader
by Erik Moeller 07 May '11

07 May '11

Hello translators :-) we still need lots of localization help for UploadWizard - if you have time available to help on translatewiki, please do :-). Feedback on RTL issues is also appreciated. We know the RTL implementation is still very imperfect, but let us know if there are absolutely critical issues we should know about which would make it worse than the old form. Thanks, Erik ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Erik Moeller <erik(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Fri, May 6, 2011 at 8:20 PM Subject: Announcement: UploadWizard is coming as default uploader To: commons-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Hi, We’re planning to make a change on May 9, 2011 [1]: We’ll replace the link in the Wikimedia Commons sidebar that currently points to Commons:Upload with a link to Special:UploadWizard (in all languages). If all goes well, we'll also invite Wikimedia wikis to begin changing their Commons upload links to Special:UploadWizard. If you haven't tried the UploadWizard yet, go to http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard to test it. We’ve a made it easier to get back to the old form from Special:UploadWizard, and added an invitation to help with localization. NOTE: We still need lots of additional translations, so if you can help with that, please do so on translatewiki.net. Sign up for translatewiki: http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:FirstSteps Translation group: http://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&group=ext-uploadwi… Current status: http://translatewiki.net/wiki/User:Multichill/stats The quality, status and up-to-dateness of translations of the old upload form is very mixed. By switching all languages immediately to UploadWizard and working with translatewiki.net, we're hoping to accelerate the process of getting solid localizations across the board. We apologize for the short term inconvenience this may cause. [2] The old upload process will remain indefinitely available. There’s no reason to remove it. This is purely a change to the default process we’re exposing to the world. We feel we’ve fixed all the obvious bugs that we know about (there are some annoying bugs that we do know about left, but they’re not showstoppers). The best way for us to find the remaining bugs is to have people actually use it as their first upload experience and to continue to receive and process feedback. As a reminder, here’s what UploadWizard gets us: - Up to 10 files can be uploaded in one batch. We are hoping to expand this feature set to allow for parallel uploading, multi-file selection, and more. - Some metadata is automatically extracted and pre-filled. - You can see thumbnails before you’re completing your upload. - Error cases should be handled in a clear and understandable interface. - Less clutter due to systematic learning design as opposed to mixing instructions and process. - Much, much friendlier to new users as validated by our usability studies. Major remaining gotchas: - If your entire upload takes longer than 25 minutes, it fails. Very annoying, we know. Not entirely trivial to fix but we know how and we’ll get to it soon. - Thumbnails for some file formats (video and audio, for instance) are not shown during the upload process. This should not affect the success of the actual upload. - Right-to-left support is far from perfect and consistent. Suggestions for improvement are most welcome. If you speak an RTL language, please hammer the wizard and tell us is if it's a showstopper issue for you -- we don't think that's the case, but we need your input. - There are a number of other known cases where uploads will stall and the user has no option to fix the problem. It happens much less often than it does with the old upload form, and we believe the most important bugs (e.g. title blacklist related failures) will be squashed as part of this release. There is a link to provide feedback right in the subtitle of the page – if you do have a problem, please report as much detail as possible! How do we know the new process is much improved? Through qualitative studies of the upload interface. See the report on the multimedia usability project for details and videos: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Multimedia_usability_project_report We’re also continually user-testing the software through quick and cheap user-tests using usertesting.com -- we’ll share our first batch of test videos soon. Please continue to add your thoughts & comments to the feedback page, and we’ll aim to respond in a speedy fashion. I'm very excited about this change and I hope you are, too. :-) We've received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback regarding the UploadWizard experience, and while there are still lots of ways in which we can do better, we hope you'll agree that it's a huge step forward. All best, Erik == Notes == [1] We may choose to push the date forward a bit if we run into deployment issues. [2] There's a subheader in the UploadWizard which takes you back to the old upload form. To ensure that at least the link to the old form is translated into your language (if you're an administrator or can find one), you can edit the following user interface message in your language (add "/language code" to the URL, e.g. "/pl" for Polish): http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Mwe-upwiz-subhead-alt-upload -- Erik Möller Deputy Director, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate -- Erik Möller Deputy Director, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate
