Please translate this message: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Editing/Publish This message describes a significant change to the most important button on any wiki: the "Save page" button will soon be split into two labels: "Publish page" (for new page creations) and "Publish changes" (for edits to existing pages). There are also links in the message for the button labels. Please check those translations and make sure that they are accurate. Those translations will be used by default at all MediaWiki installations (not just Wikipedia and its sister projects), so precise, accurate translations are important. Experienced editors don't need to read the button's label to know what it does, but user research over the years strongly supports this change for new contributors. This change will be important to people who teach new editors or who maintain help documentation. I hope to send this message to more than 600 WMF wikis, in more than 200 languages, at the end of this week. Every language is important for this change. Please help me if you can. Thank you. -- Whatamidoing (WMF)/Sherry Snyder Community Liaison Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. _______________________________________________ Translators-l mailing list Translators-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/translators-l

Hebrew also done, but I have a question: How can I translate the title of the section for this message?

Thank you all for your help so far. The page name is of almost no importance, because almost no one except us will see it. People will mostly see this on their local wikis. I do congratulate Philippe Verdy on correctly decoding the page title. :-) MassMessage unfortunately does not permit translated headers. Being able to provide translated ==Section headings== is high on my personal wishlist for future improvements. In the meantime, if anyone happens to see these messages on the Village Pumps and similar pages, and wants to replace the header with something locally intelligible, then I would be grateful. (I suspect that is universally true, regardless of who's sending the message or what the message is about.) Again, thank you. You all are awesome. -- Whatamidoing (WMF)/Sherry Snyder Community Liaison Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.
