Project:Language policy/es

Aquí se describe la política actual multi-idioma en MediaWiki.org.

El espacio de nombres Help:
En el espacio de nombres  estamos construyendo un conjunto de páginas de ayuda de dominio público. El objetivo es proporcionar un conjunto básico de páginas de ayuda que pueden ser importadas en nuevos wikis para cubrir las instrucciones básicas de edición y uso. Estas deberían ser traducidas en tantos idiomas como sea posible.


 * El inglés es el idioma de referencia principal, y todas las páginas raíz deben estar nombradas y escritas en inglés.
 * Las subpáginas deben usarse únicamente para traducciones en otros idiomas, no para contenido en inglés. Por ejemplo, no deberías usar ; usa en su lugar   o.
 * Si existe una versión internacional de una página pero no existe su versión en inglés, entonces deberías crear un esbozo para la versión en inglés, para ayudar en la navegación.

Este sistema será compatible con la exportación/importación automática de páginas de ayuda, aunque mientras tanto puede requerir algo más de trabajo para exportar/importar páginas en idiomas diferentes al inglés.

Extensión Translate
Actualmente estamos usando la extensión Translate para varias páginas, que usan esta convención de subpáginas, con Langcat para categorías y TNT para plantillas traducibles.

Este sistema es el recomendado principalmente para las páginas más visitadas y para todas las nuevas páginas de ayuda, manuales y extensiones (principales), pero aun no se ha establecido una política sobre esto.


 * Para traducir: ve a Special:LanguageStats y empieza a traducir.
 * Para administrar traducciones: Special:PageTranslation, Special:AggregateGroups

Puedes solicitar que una página sea traducible preparándola para su traducción, y un administrador de traducción tendrá que habilitar la traducción (puedes consultar el tutorial cómo preparar una página para que sea traducida); o pídelo directamente a uno de los administradores de traducción.

Sistema antiguo

 * Other languages should be placed in an appropriately named sub-page of the English version. For example, the French version of Help:Contents should be at Help:Contents/fr (not Help:Contenu, Aide:Contenu or Help:Contenu/fr).
 * Language sub-pages should be named using the appropriate language code for that language (see below).
 * All pages in the help namespace should be tagged with the  template, which automatically creates links to all available translations.

Convert to Translate
The pages with existing translations are usually worth being made into translatable pages. Prepare the (English) root page for translation (see the Translate extension section) and, as soon as it's marked for translation, manually import the old translations from the history of subpages to the translation units (by clicking "translate this page").

A list of pages translated with the old system, to be migrated to the new, is in the works at Project:Language policy/Migration list.

More detailed instructions:
 * For a full introduction, read the basic help, translation tutorial, page translation tutorial and translation reference manual.


 * Login or register on mediawiki.org: all your work will happen on this wiki. Pick one page to migrate to Translate from the migration list (on the list's talk page, you can ask any question). Polish the English text as fit/possible to avoid migrating very obsolete/low quality text, skip pages where unsure. Prepare the page for translation (i.e. add &lt;translate> tags etc.) following the page translation tutorial linked above; then edit the migration list, writing next to the page's title that you've done it.


 * A translation administrator (you?) will now approve ("mark") the page for translation at their discretion. When it's approved, complete the job: copy the old translations to corresponding units with Special:Translate (as a translator would do in the translation tutorial linked above). You don't need to know the language you're migrating, only to identify which paragraph corresponds to which, even though it's not a loyal translation (machine translation can help grasp the meaning if the layout of the page doesn't provide enough hints).

The main page
The English version of our front page is located at MediaWiki. Translated versions are located at MediaWiki/code, where code is the language code (e.g. MediaWiki/fr). Please see Project:Main page templates for more details about creating or editing this content.

Importantly, the rules about language codes (see below) should be followed here as well.

Other namespaces
Apart from the Main Page, no policy has yet been decided about other namespaces. For the time being, if you would like to create translations for pages in other namespaces then please do so as described for the Help: namespace, however content may be moved or deleted depending on the policy that is eventually adopted.

For some discussions, see Languages and Translate extension at Current issues.

''Note that the rule that English content should not be placed in sub-pages does not apply to other namespaces. This is one of the issues that needs resolving.''

Language codes
Throughout MediaWiki.org you should use the language codes specified by the MediaWiki software when creating language-specific content (see Names.php for the full and up-to-date list).

Please also bear the following in mind:
 * If the language code is not found in Names.php then we should not host help pages in that language.
 * If you want to add a language that is not present, first get it added to the software (by making a request at Bugzilla) and only add pages here once the changes have been accepted.


 * If MediaWiki uses the 'incorrect' code for a language then you should also (for consistency) use that incorrect code here. If you think a code is incorrect you should discuss it on Bugzilla, and if this results in it being changed we will move the pages to match.
 * Note that some language codes in Names.php are now deprecated (e.g. zh-yue has been replaced with yue). In these cases only the most recent code should be used.
