Translate quicklinks
Hi, some links you should go through to get started with Translate and familiarise with it a bit in order to understand what we're talking about. --Nemo 15:38, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Special:Preferences (set your native language, not English)
 * Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:Translate/Translation_example (how to translate)
 * Special:LanguageStats (see translation stats and translate one page, for instance VisualEditor help)
 * Project:Language policy/Migration list (how we migrate old page to the translation system; try and migrate one page following instructions).


 * Thanks for the links. I will go through them and get back to you soon :) BPositive (talk) 15:51, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Help:Special pages preparation
Thanks for the start. Let me note that full docs are at Help:Extension:Translate/Page translation administration; I'll just mention the things that need fixing, you'll find the details in the manual. Almost everyone makes these mistakes, don't worry. :) Read the whole manual and/or check all these points for the next time you ask a page to be marked for translation. --Nemo 13:32, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
 * must be added at top instead of.
 * Needs empty line after each header.
 * Translatable templates must be called via TNT.
 * Category must be inserted with Langcat.
 * Each and every link must use Special:MyLanguage syntax/prefix.
 * Quotations of interface elements should include the message in question directly via the int magic word, for instance in this case «Clicking the link Special:Specialpages» has in italics a link label that depends on user language. You can use, for instance, the qqx trick to find the message name.
