Dear Shirayuki, I saw that you took care about my edits on Extension:Cite. Thanks a lot, so I was able to finish the translation. I want to use Links to these Sites from german Wikibooks, so not every bit has to be explained again and again. Now I want to translate Help:Cite, and I'm struggling with some difficulties. I browsed help and some other sites around here, but can't find answers for the things I'd like to know or do. Maybe you can offer help? It would be highly appreciated.

To the problem: I posted on Help talk:Cite a question a while ago, I'm confident enough about some parts of the question, to take care about it myself. E.g. editing the english page for some formating issues and for the translate-Tags. But another question arose: In the table error-messages are presented, that are probably to be translated by translatewiki, but at the moment, they seem not to. Does this mean, they are not translated yet? Or are they simply not displayed correctly? Or something else? I looked the error-messages up in some of the local (de) wikimedia projects, and they differ even there. Is it a good Idea to add translate-Tags for the messages and just add the actually used phrases (I suppose not)? Do you have any Idea, where I can look for help for this problem? E.g. first of all, I'd like to know how the translation in this case is (or should be) normally done.

As I said, any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot, regards HirnSpuk

PS: I'm sorry, I wasn't able to find, how to sign the Message. Hope this will be done automatically. Edit: Well somehow it is... confusing...
