Translation combination boxes[edit]

The following text was copied from Meta:Babel#Translation_combination_boxes. As an active translator, it may be of any interest to you:

Hi, Sabine worked on new boxes for translators. They aim at giving information about translation combination: say, I can translate from English to French, from Italian to Spanish, and so on. It would help us to know who can translate what, in what, to streamline the translation process. The boxes do not provide information about your level (wether you are a professional translator or not, for example); you may write something about this point in your user page (very useful as well). A few boxes are available, be bold and create those you need :) Be aware we use ISO 639-3 codes for languages (fra and not fr, eng and not en, ...).

Please see "Translator in the following language combinations" and pick up templates for your user page!
This message was pasted on several User talk pages of active translators.

Thank you :)

Thanks, I speak German, Cherokee, English, and some Tewa and UtoAztecan. I can translate English to Cherokee, German to Cherokee and German to English and vice versa. I will update the boxes. chr:User:Jeffrey V. Merkey

Cherokee Sidebar Translation[edit]

Here's the translation (noticed your comments). I know how to do it on a MediaWiki, but not on meta through the menus. You may know how to do this on meta. Jmerkey 16:45, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Translators[edit]

I remove your website from the list by consensus of Promotion & Translation subcommittee. The list is a list of translators, not a website. You can't use meta for advertising your site.

Removal of a community of translators from wikimedia seems counter productive to the foundations goals. I'll discuss it on the foundation mailing list and see if the broader community agrees with your actions. Jmerkey 17:03, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
