Sorry I couldn't actually throw together the
multilingual page, but I
was studying for exams and will be for the next couple of weeks.
Hi
Do not worry. Exams are more important.
But
once that's finished, I want to get back on track
and complete putting
together multilingual server error messages. I don't think it's
acceptable on a site as multilingual as Wikipedia (and the other
Wikimedia projects too) to only give English language error messages.
I was hoping to get some help scripting a page with mechanics similar
to the Wikipedia preferences page, whereby clicking a link changes the
content, but where the content still displays correctly on older
browsers. I started doing this about a month ago, but other things got
in the way. We would have to decide which languages to include. In my
semi-working prototype, I included only the top 5 languages, which I
think were English, French, German, Swedish and Japanese. If we
include too many languages, we run a risk of placing extra strain on
the servers because the file size will inflate. Anyway, tell me what
you think of my idea.
Sounds good. I cant judge myself on the extra strain, but the more
languages we can cover the better. Note that this is as much a technical
issue than a translation issue :-)
But thanks a lot for doing this Mark. It will be much appreciated.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this
mean you're shifting the
servers across the street at 3AM? That's got to look suspicious :-)
If you're setting up a downtime page on the Paris squids, I recommend
not including a link to Openfacts.berlios.de. Every time Wikipedia has
even a mild downtime (i.e. about 3 minutes or less) that site gets
overwhelmed and goes down itself. I don't think it's fair on whoever
owns that site.
Well, your wishes were obeyed. The Paris squids showed to everyone
accessing wikipedia, that we again had a crash, were trying to fix it,
and would be back soon.
It was not a maintenance page which was shown, but a crash page.
Not sure it is exactly good for our image.
