Translation
Available on it.wiki as it:Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Manuale --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 16:39, 23 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Do we want to use the translate tool here so that it is kept updated here (and then copy over), or just do that by hand? Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 16:49, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm going to set up the page for translation, similarly to Help:VisualEditor/FAQ where this was split from. guillom 16:52, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Mac users
Is it worth saying something about using Command on Macs at the first mention of a shortcut? Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 08:38, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes. Thank you for the reminder. I've added it :) guillom 11:54, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Issue viewing this page with Firefox
When I view this page with Firefox 22, the image titled "The VisualEditor toolbar" is superimposed on the last three links over the links titled "TemplateData tutorial", "Help new users", and "Translate & localize documentation". In MSIE 10, the image is properly displayed underneath these links. GoingBatty (talk) 02:29, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for fixing this! GoingBatty (talk) 03:50, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
 * You're welcome :) It sort of fixed itself when I added a new section at the top. guillom 11:45, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Discoverability
Is this page linked from the VisualEditor interface? I couldn't find any help clue in it. --Nemo 14:57, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, if the interface can not point to localized versions for each wiki, yes, we might try and ask for a link here, at least. Will keep you posted. --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 19:37, 30 June 2013 (UTC) PS,.
 * The best way to do this would probably be to add a new interface message linking to Special:MyLanguage/Help:VisualEditor/User guide. That way, wikis can customize it to have it link to a local version. guillom 11:45, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Elitre created 50476 :) guillom 11:50, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
 * This is done, and I opened a bug about pointing more directly to the user's language. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 18:27, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

No thanks
How do I turn Visual Editor off? --Merovingian (talk) 18:27, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Never mind; I found it. --Merovingian (talk) 18:31, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
 * me too, see Help:VisualEditor/FAQ. --Flominator (talk) 15:41, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Translation in Marathi (mr)
The language Marathi (mr) is not appearing in the language list at the header of the page along with other languages. I have recently made certain translations there on the translation page.To see them here,i didnt find the page of my language. Pl confirm.

V.narsikar 13:21, 23 August 2013 (UTC) Thanks anyway! When I went back, it now appeared.

Translation into Bikol Central (bcl)
I'm doing the translation from English to Bicol Central. But it seems that my translations are not coming back to fore for further revisions. How can I get back to it? Can you give me a link to it? Thanks. Geopoet (talk) 02:20, 11 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Hey - thanks for doing this. Unfortunately you replaced the original, English version rather than writing a new version for bcl. Instead, you should edit the page using this link. Thank you again. Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 15:47, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Updates to the page
This can be used as a screenshot of the new More menu. --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 20:26, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Saving for later, since these signs have disappeared from insert

 * The "" icon (an Egyptian ankh: ☥) will allow you to add Egyptian hieroglyphics to the page. (Pending. Not yet available.)
 * The "" icon (a sigma sign: Σ) will allow you to display mathematical formulas. (Pending. Not yet available.)


 * These show for me? Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 05:42, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
