Hoi, That was the wrong url .. http://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portaal:Hoofdpagina_%28mobiel%29 Thanks, Gerard ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gerard Meijssen &lt;gerard.meijssen(a)gmail.com&gt; Date: 28 February 2010 17:14 Subject: Progress To: Wikimedia India &lt;wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; 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)<http://nl.wiki… is still too much on it; we need to consider the speed and the cost of mobile traffic as well. Thanks, GerardM

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 !

Srikanth, For Mobile Wiki, you need to translate messages listed on this page: http://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&task=view&am… But I found that User Vsrawat <http://translatewiki.net/wiki/User:Vsrawat>from Hindi Wikipedia has already started translating it. It is better to consult the veteran Marathi/Hindi wikipedians Mahitgar<http://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, http://ultimategerardm.blogspot.com/2010/03/malayalam-wikipedia-requests-mo… I intend to ask Parul, the usability expert to give comments on our designs ... We want to be good to our readers right ? Do you think this is a good idea ? Thanks. Gerard On 1 March 2010 17:42, Praveen Prakash &lt;me.praveen(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote:
