I have a workshop next week in Tanzania and try to prepare a simple guide for first-time editors on sw-wikipedia. I want to propose to them to start in VE and switch later to source editing after getting experience. So I have tried to familiarize myself with VE.

1) The main bug for starting new articles in VE as I found about so far: I see no option to enter a category - which features prominent in my guide how to start a new entry. Is it really necessary to save and the go back to source???

2) I have no idea who tried to translate the VisualEditor.toolbar into Swahili. (someone via google-bullshit-translate??). Urgently needs corrections. Who to talk to?? Kindly answer to my sw talk page, I am not often here Kipala (talk) 07:37, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

You can use the Link tool to add a category.

Kipala, what's missing? If you click on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Candy&uselang=qqx&veaction=edit

you'll see the list of "code names" in VisualEditor. For example, in the "Page options" (three lines, next to the Save button) menu, you'll see an item with the label (visualeditor-categories-tool). That corresponds to a page MediaWiki:visualeditor-categories-tool, where the name can be changed locally (by any admin). Permanent, worldwide translations (not just for the Swahili Wikipedia, but for everyone using VisualEditor in Swahili, anywhere) should be made through TranslateWiki.net. If you're willing to do the translations, I can get you an account there. If it's just a couple of changes, then you can send the list to me, and I can enter them.

Some things have to be turned on locally. For example, the Cite menu will be nearly empty without local changes.
