Arguments in favour[edit]

Arguments against[edit]

General discussion[edit]

Little bit confused as this version should be in Latin or Cyrilic (there are some other options for this language in translatewiki.net: kbd-cyrl къэбэрдеибзэ, kbd-latn, kbd) As I can see on Incubator, there is cyrilic only. Has it been solved yet? Are you willing to do this in Latin as well? If so, some hints you can find here in serbian language version:Latinica ћирилица. Switching between two versions in real time. It would be essential to solve this question now before you start doing serious things with own Wiki domain. Please try consider that before you will carry on. Will be the first language in latin or in cyrilic? Fagusius 18:09, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kabardian language is currently only uses the Cyrillic alphabet, I do not understand why need a Latin version. Master Shadow 06:50, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I see, thank you. There was just an option in list of languages (Latin and Cyrilic for specific version). Only to be sure which is right for usage. Fagusius 14:37, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There have been enough active contributors recently [1]. Maybe it's time we prepared to open this project? --Wisconsus 19:47, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Localisation information[edit]

Now I see there is a strong translation effort in progress. For better orientation what is already done and what needs to be within kbd-cyrl, the following links.

Language code: kbd-cyrl
Group statistics Betawiki - Localisation_statistics on Mediawiki

At time of this writing there is already translated: 80.56% of Most often used messages and 18.96% of MediaWiki messages in kbd-cyrl language code. When you will be done, please request an update from Language comitee in Language committee/Status/wp/kbd page. Fagusius 15:11, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What needs to be done in MediaWiki (most used)

All the messages have been translated--Andrijko Z. 19:37, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
