Hi, Finnish wikipedia does not have wikilove/Article feedbck tool. What should I use in that?

Not sure how the survey will be held, but what if a native Finnish speaker is answering the survey about their work on English langauge Wikipedia, with the survey language in Finnish? Then those questions would need to be translated...

Hi all, The questionnaire for the November 2011 Editor Survey - the second semi-annual Editor Survey conducted by the Wikimedia Foundation, is now ready. This edition of the survey will serve as a longitudinal study, and will help us understand the changes in editor demographics, needs and experiences. We are hoping to offer the survey in 19 languages: Arabic, Catalan, Danish, German, English, Spanish, Finnish, French, Hebrew, Croatian, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese Traditional and Chinese Simplified. Since we have limited resources to program the survey in multiple languages, we used the data from the previous survey to arrive at this list. Please help us by translating the survey to all these languages! The meta page is located at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_Editors_Survey_November_2… In addition, the Survey Banner remains unchanged from the previous iteration of the survey, except for the addition of the word "Second". The meta page, with the last survey's translations in place, can be found at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_Editors_Survey_November_2…. Of course, for the banner, we welcome translations in all languages. We are aiming to launch the survey by the third week of November, so it would be great if it were possible to have translations completed by the hard deadline of Monday, November 14. Thanks a lot for your help. In case there are any questions/concerns, please contact me.

After checking the Arabic translation here http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_Editors_Survey_November_2… It looks like there are serious formatting problems. Notably caused by the directionality of text : - incorrect use of punctuation signs (notably the incorrect mirrored question mark, used at the begining of lines) - answer item numbered with Latin letters have had their letters translitterated to Arabic. Is it expected ? Are those letters part of the visible answer ? Additionally, the wikitext editor on Meta still does not have the feature of allowing the whole edit window (the textarea form) swapped forth and back (with a clickable icon or keyboard shortcut) from the default LTR directionality (with lines starting by default on the left margin) to the RTL directionality (with lines starting by default on the right margin). This is absolutely needed to get the correct BiDi layout and to ease the text editing. The only remaining option is to try a preview, but this does not work in the preview because paragraphs always start with the same default margin, and then try to autodetermine their starting direction from the first character of the paragraph that sets a strong direction (letters or digits: OK; punctuation signs : no) in order to resolve the direction of the first characters and where to layout them according to the rest of the line (but the leading numbering of questions and answer items forces another guess, even if the start margin has already been set externally). Really, this page would have been much easier to translate to RTL languages like Arabic and Hebrew, if it had used the Translator extension, where the general page layout was fixed and only the true parts to translate had been included in translatable resources. 2011/11/19 Ayush Khanna <akhanna(a)wikimedia.org>rg>: Our have for need again, http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_Editors_Survey_November_2… . wrote: and languages, is http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_Editors_Survey_November_2… The http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_Editors_Survey_November_2… . the http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_Editors_Survey_November_2… _______________________________________________ Translators-l mailing list Translators-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/translators-l
