[Wikitech-ambassadors] Re: WikiEditor translation update necessary

If the "Completion" for your language shows anything less than 100%,

You need translation rights to translate messages. Thanks for your translations : You reached the translation limit for new

Hi! TL;DR: The user interface localization of the WikiEditor extension needs an update. Please check the state of your language at https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:MessageGroupStats&group… , and if the "Completion" for your language shows anything less than 100%, please complete the translation. More details: The WikiEditor extension is the most commonly used interface for editing wiki pages in wikitext ("edit source") on all Wikimedia wikis. For many years, there was a technical issue with localizing it: for security reasons, many of its messages could be translated only by administrators. This issue has recently been fixed by Jon Harald Søby (thanks!). Now all of it can be translated by all translatewiki translators. In addition, several messages that had complex and repetitive HTML code have been simplified as part of this update, and now it's generally easier to translate them. Because of all these technical updates, the translation of the extension needs to be updated. Usually such things don't warrant a special announcement, but given that WikiEditor is such a central and prominent component in the editing experience, I think it's justified this time. I recommend that experienced wiki editors who can write in languages other than English go to https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:MessageGroupStats&group… , check the "Completion" column for their language, and if it's not 100%, complete it. According to the usual deployment schedule, all the translations that will be done before Monday morning (UTC) will be deployed between July 11 and July 13. If any technical support is necessary with using translatewiki, I'm happy to help. Thanks again to Jon Harald for fixing this old bug, and thanks in advance to all the wonderful volunteer translators!
