Hi all,
I've discovered Wikipedia thanks to Laurent Godard who wrote a macro for OpenOffice.
I'm interested in the swahili version of it and I've noticed that there are some minor mistakes in the not editable areas of the pages, i.e. menus, options, etc.
Can you help me to understand how can I suggest corrections and contribute to translate the templates?
Thanks a lot, Nino

There are two ways the text in the menus and options can be changed. The easiest way is to edit the templates in the MediaWiki namespace which you can find at http://sw.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Allmessages. The other way is to create a Language.php file. See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Language.php
You need to be an admin to edit the MediaWiki namespace, and once you have more experience, you can ask for adminship at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/requests_for_permissions but I'd be a bit wary about granting this immediately since you only have five edits. I've left a more detailed explanation on your talk page at sw.
Angela.
