I'm really confused. You gave a list of 22 edit links with one page of text below that. Which one of those 22 edit links does the translated text go?? Does the same text get posted in each of the 22 MediaWiki pages?

the text given is the entirety of the content
go to meta page copy the content of the first line example :"Wikimedia Board of Trustees election",
Click on the first red link example : MediaWiki:boardvote
you get the edit page http://meta.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=MediaWiki:Boardvote&action=...
change it to another language example : http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=MediaWiki:Boardvote&action=ed...
edit the content (translate) then save you get this http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki%3ABoardvote
repeat for each message
ideally, those messages for admin are not necessary since danny and imran are english speakers but these messages are also very very short :-)

Please could all the translators who have finished translating this, specify so on that page? I've added a little "Languages completed:" line where you can add your language code.
