Hoi,
When you localise in Betawiki, you are provided with messages in English
that provide you the context of the message. When you localise outside
Betawiki such help is not available. I would argue that you should localise
in Betawiki because it helps you with the context. When these messages are
missing, it is only because nobody bothered to add them.
Sorry disagree. When I am on Betawiki, I see only English MediaWiki
files, not knowing where I will find it on a real wiki. It doesn't
give us context.
When you have suggestions to make Betawiki even better, we do welcome them.
What we are looking for is more people that contribute to the localisation
process, certainly for a big language like Japanese it should be possible
not only to do the initial localisation but also to do the proof reading and
improve the available localisations.
One question, when you found the localisation lacking, you do know how this
can be remedied, don't you !?!
Why? I see only messages without knowing which MediaWiki file contains
that. Why do you think I know something?
Thanks,
GerardM

I'm a bit concerned Japanese low (lowest ever
since 2004) and gave a
look to Japanese setting (note: my home wiki is meta and I use English
settings for convenience in communications with the other meta
regular).
I let some Eleccom members the problems I found, but one of them are
noted worthy publicly, for warning other language setting problem. So
sorry for duplications, if any.
Japanese setting says "the Election 2008 is over" and has no
instruction of voting method. No mention people are expected to rank
candidates. I am amazed three people had voted even in this
circumstance...
If you are good at your language and English, please check Boardvote:*
to see they are rightly translated.
(That is partly why I am no big fan of betawiki way: translation out
of context is sometimes disastrous confusing .. like the above).

I noticed that afterwards, sorry. I'm still curious if for some other
reason, if votes are struck, if the person whose vote is struck is to be
notified?
