Hoi, After the completion of the Urdu, Malayalam and Bengali mobile interface for Wikipedia, the Telugu localisation has now also been completed as well :)
On the Dutch Wikipedia we are experimenting with a special mobile main page .. When people arrive on their mobile it may look good .. http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portaal:Hoofdpagina_(mobiel) There is still too much on it; we need to consider the speed and the cost of mobile traffic as well. Thanks, GerardM
Hoi, That was the wrong url .. http://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portaal:Hoofdpagina_%28mobiel%29 Thanks, Gerard

Gerard,
It will be good if this facility can be enabled for Wiktionary also. Mobile version of Wiktionary will be more beneficial to the users than Wikipedia.
I know that developers are trying for it. Prioritizing this bug/task will make the mobile version of wikis much popular.

Hoi, I completely agree. When the localisation for a language is done, it needs a bit of work and coordination to enable the software for other MediaWiki installations like Wiktionary as well.
There are in my opinion two things you can do, you can write to the foundation or wikitech mailing list and you can write to the same mailing lists asking for advice on the mobile mainpage you created for your Wiktionary.. I am sure the last option will be more impressive and get you more results :)
PS I know there are more languages spoken and written in India .. there are only 25 messages to localise ! Thanks, GerardM

Tell me exactly, how I go about translating messages on TranslateWiki, I have translator rights, but just don't know how to use it.

Srikanth,
For Mobile Wiki, you need to translate messages listed on this page: http://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&task=view&...
But I found that User Vsrawat http://translatewiki.net/wiki/User:Vsrawatfrom Hindi Wikipedia has already started translating it.
It is better to consult the veteran Marathi/Hindi wikipedians Mahitgarhttp://translatewiki.net/wiki/User:Mahitgar /Kaustub http://translatewiki.net/wiki/User:Kaustubh before translating messgaes to Hindi. They are translating the system messages (to Hindi/Marathi) through translate wiki for more than 2 years now.
Always consult the local language wiki community regarding localization of system messages.

Hoi, Typically you have set in your preferences the language you want to localise in. This will make the "translation tool" default to your language. Every language has a portal page for instance http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Portal:Hi for Hindi, there you find the "translation tool" as well. In addition there is the "language statistics" which is an alternate route into everything that needs localisation.
In addition people can give you the direct URL for something that needs doing .. http://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&group=out-wikim... instance is specifically for Wikimedia Mobile and Hindi. For some messages some background is provided in the "qqq" messages ..

Yes. Current design is just a collection of templates of featured article, featured image and 'in the news'. A rough imitation of Swedish wiki.
