Hi Shiju,
Thanks for your respinse. I had conveyed in past on the request discussion
that many of these 2000 messages are technical terms, and we won't like to
have them simply transliterated. At the same point, there is no use of
translating them with some allien terms which noone would und3rstand.
Community was once very active on wikisource, but because of this stringent
requirement, as when the project couldn't move ahead with sub-domain
creation, they lost interest.
Isn't there anyway where we can get waiver of this requirement to have all
those messages translated? You can see that most frequently used messages
are translated anyways.
Will really appreciate if you could help in this matter. As Gujarati
community is active on wikipedia, it won't be much hard to get wikisource
going either.
Looking forward for your and chapter's help.
Kind Regards,
Dhaval

Dear Sushant and other Gujarati wikipedians,
As you all are aware Wikisource is a great a wiki project for most indic
languages. Some Indic wiki communities (for example: Malayalam, Bengali )
are already having very active wiki source projects.
It is important that a wikisource project is opened for Gujarati also very
soon. But voting on the request page won't help much since
language committee is already aware that Gujarati is eligible for
wikisource project. According to WMF language
committee<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Language_committee>ee>, to
approve additional wiki projects for eligible languages we need
to fulfill certain criteria. Following are they:
- Have an activity community for Gujarati wikisource in the old
Wikisource site
મુખપૃષ્ઠ:ગુજરાતી<http://wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%AA%AE%E0%AB%81%E0%AA%96%…
- Complete the translation of most-used MediaWiki messages (view
untranslated<http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translate?task=untran…
);
- Complete the translation of all MediaWiki messages (view
untranslated<http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translate?task=untran…
);
- Complete the translation of main extensions used by Wikimedia
Foundation wikis (view
untranslated<http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translate?task=untran…
).
- Complete the translation of Collection extension for Wikisource and
Wikibooks (view
untranslated<http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translate?task=untran…)
and
- Complete the translation of ProofreadPage extension for Wikisource (view
untranslated<http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translate?task=untran…
).
We already have couple of Gujarati source texts in old wikisource
site<http://wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%AA%AE%E0%AB%81%E0%AA%96%E0%AA%AA%E0%…80>.
Please continue adding more source texts on that site since that will keep
the interested members together. Along with that please translate the
mediawiki messages in Translate wiki <http://translatewiki.net/>. I found
that for Gujarati we have around 2000 untranslated messages. Keep have some
plan to finish these messages within some time frame since that will speed
up the creation of Gujarati wikisource.
Please let me know in case you require any help regarding this.
