Other discussion

I need help. How do I get the list of messages we need to translate? I go to the Trans... site and it says code (the ISO code for Wayuu, I suppose) is invalid. Thanks --Periergeia 21:08, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Localisation update

  • Localisation of the most wanted messages of MediaWiki at translatewiki.net is one of the requirements in order to get a new language approved... Please ask for translator rights at translatewiki.net
