That's great news!
I'm just wondering - how were they able to localise the interface so
quickly?
Is it possible to do the same for Romani, since we already have a
partially-translated interface file?
Also, would it possible for Desiphral and I to be given sysop rights on the
Romany Wikipedia, for localisation, and all the necessary admin work that
needs to be done at the beginning of a new Wikipedia.
Thanks,
Ronline

Already, even though it has only existed for a day, the Cantonese
Wikipedia has been full of activity.
Take the main talk page as an example:
http://zh-yue.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page
Already, there are active discussions on:
1) User interface translation
2) Name of the encyclopaedia (Should it be same asthe Mandarin, which
is pronounced in Cantonese as "wai gei", or should it be a more
phonetic Cantonese, like "wik gei"?)
3) Promotion of cantonese wp
4) "Standard Characters" (Hoeng Gong Zi)
5) Subdomain (some people think it's unfair to use zh-yue, and that
just yue should be used instead or such)
6) Getting an admin and making a logo
7) Should it be "Cantonese Wikipedia" or "Yue Wikipedia"
8) Name of main page
9) Allmessages, namespace translation
With such activity in such little time I have no doubt we can expect
phenomenal growth from this new Wikipedia.
