Several times during the fundraiser i updated the
translations
manually with corrections made by other people and then i just
mentioned their usernames in the edit summary. This should be good
enough as far as credit goes.
For a fuller solution i propose moving all the translation efforts to
, which offers convenient tools for automatic
translation updates, and to the best of my knowledge, they take care
of credit, too.

Hi,
I guess we don't have a written form policy of credit or even common
one. My recommendation for wmf editors who publish the translation
from meta to wmf site
is using [[meta:special:Import]] for moving the files to wmf site
which enables us
to preserve the original history, but sometimes it takes a time and I
understand not always it hasn't be kept.
Another solution, I believe once Wing suggested too, might be putting
the translators' credit on the page in a much more visible way, not
only relying history page alone, but it has not been taken into
serious consideration to implement ... yet.
What do you guys think the latter solution?
Is anyone (preferably a MW developer) interested in?
Cheers,

Hi, forgive me for asking this, but what's the policy for crediting a translation?
For example, the Indonesian landing page is
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/WMFJA026/id With a little research we can find that
the source is
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Template:2010/JimmyLetterK/id, but when
you look at it's history, there's no link to the actual translation page, i.e.
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2010/Jimmy_appeal_2/id, thus it seems that
Klyman is the one who did the translation. I suppose he should've at least mention
where the translation was taken from. Or is there another rationalization?

Just a gentle reminder: we have an appeal from Jimmy up at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2010/Translation . This one will be pushed out
to all wikis, so we really need it localized as much as possible, please... any help you
can give is gratefully appreciated.
