Hoi, I received this e-mail as a reply to a blog entry. Could someone please help our Marathi speaking community by making sure that Marathi (mr) is a language that is supported in MediaWiki. I do not have a clue where the best localisation effort can be found. Probably on the mr.wikipedia.org. I also do not have a good contact for you..
Thanks, GerardM

Dear GerardM, Thanks, you took note of Developments in Marathi Wiktionary.I work at Marathi Wikipedia too,majior localisation of MediaWiki is going on, in a special project meant for same.
I am not a technical person , but still wanted to help localisation at MediaWiki,I did a little touring there to find if I can transalate some interface there , but I did not find any facility for non technical persons there.Then lot of simmillerly named projects Mediawiki,Wikimedia and so on kept confusing me more as I tried to understand more.
Again I have some unanswered questons in my mind ,like pace of wikimedia software development is faster than the pace of our translations ,so every time a new version comes we will start a new marathon which we know we are slow at running.
On Marathi Wiktionary,I did localisation to take care of minimum level for immidaiate needs.
Another thing ,at Omegawiki as a new visitor I could not browse Marathi entries comfortably enough , neither purpose of simmiller wiki was clear to me. I hope over a time peiod I can understand omegawiki better .I use the same user name at Marathi Wikipedia. Thanks again and Happy new year to you! -mahitgar
