Hoi, At the Incubator the notion of using translations produced by other people then the ones who are incubating the project is seriously not welcome. At the Incubator we must see people involved in the language itself. Anything else defeats the purpose of the Incubator and the language policies. When there is doubt to the actual size and proficiency of the people involved it is reason to not allow the language to go to the next level.
Remember, the language policy was created in order to prevent the many dead projects we still have. The growing number of dead projects almost put a stop to the creation of any new language projects. It is important to realise that the policy ensures the vitality of new projects. Translations from outside the WMF are not welcome at the Incubator. Thanks, Gerard

Any good translator sites where we can translate the page for free? I'd give an opinion but don't read Ahirani. ;)

Hi Gerard,
I have just returned from my hometown. At hometown, I talked with
couple of my colleagues and relatives for providing support for wikipedia Ahirani and their feedback was very good. Also I just saw that the language has been verified as eligible and I would like to say thanks to everyone for this. So feeling really cook and exciting. So, I will speed up my work and so lets face the next challenges.
Regards,
deepak

Ho aIndeed. Please ask for support for your language at
translatewiki.net on the [[Support]] page as well. Formally we suggest to the board that from a linguistic point of view there is / there is not a reason to approve a future project.
Thanks, Gerard

AhiraniHoi, Please read the instructions that come with the page. The bottom line
is
that when we do not know a proposer or people working on an incubator project, the language committee will not consider it for a long time
and in
the end reject the proposal. Thanks, Gerard On 8 December 2011 18:40, deepak sapkaledeepak_sapkale@hotmail.com

In the mean time I have written a "Mingle story" asking for the
support
for the Ahirani language. The request is to have a configuration
exactly
like Marathi for WebFonts and Narayam. It will likely take three weeks before this is implemented on the Incubator. Before this we will have
it
implemented on translatewiki.net. When it has been implemented at twn, we want to get confirmation that
it
is as it needs to be. Having a "language support team" for Ahirani
(and any
other language) really helps. http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Language_support_team Thanks, Gerard On 3 December 2011 06:38, deepak sapkaledeepak_sapkale@hotmail.com wrote: Hi, I am Deepak Sapkale, 27 year old software engineer, currently working
