Hi there, how do you think to be credited as a translator on your Wikimedia translation?
On our presentation at Wikimedia, how to motivate translators was a topic. Giving them credit was suggested by Wing. I personally think it a good idea - I see this feature on other projects, like Mozilla or Global Village Online, and have thought how it could be implemented to MediaWiki. And found myself not enough knowledgeable to suggest detailed specifications.
Before bugging it to Bugzilla now, I would love to get your opinions. I expect it isn't a simple extract of editors' list from history, since it isn't equal to the list of translators, while it may make our workload reduced, even if we finally have to edit the credit manually.
How do you think, dear translator?
Hi all;
I think that crediting translators would be marvelous, as most of translators (may be)on Wikimedia projects are freelancers as in my case. Hope that this effort would be fruitful.
