Will it be easy enough to use the tables like http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mass_content_adding/Geographic_data/Using_NGA... in bot processing? Maybe some other format is preferable? Should I just translate the table as it is or we can make out a special format for such localizations?
Another question is: what should be our primary goal? What we are going to start with? Countries of the world? Surely, if we have a not so broad direction to start with, we'll have the results sooner.
I've recently announced about the project at a Internet news-service controlled by me: http://www.e-novosti.info/blog/04.03.2006/1 (in Russian).

- General translation: After that, we need translation/transcription
of the names of the countries, cities, languages etc.
How can I pass the names to you? We have some ready lists by now:
- Larger islands:
- Countries:
- Languages that use(d) Cyrillic script:
- Lists of some countries' towns:
The main page for localization is http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mass_content_adding/Localization
You can see how did I start localization process for some NGA data (for example: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mass_content_adding/Geographic_data/Using_NGA...).
But, just use namespace like: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mass_content_adding/Localization/Geography/Co... or whatever you think that it is the best. I opened this issue and I am a participant, but I don't think that I should make explicit rules there alone :) When enough people start to work in this project, we will be able to make more strictly rules.
I am preparing some more infrastructure for the project and I'll write to this list when I make something. _______________________________________________ Wikipedia-l mailing list Wikipedia-l@Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikipedia-l
