Interface

Please translate the interface (the MediaWiki: namespace) on betawiki:. You can request temporary adminship on m:Steward requests/Permissions. Cbrown1023 17:19, 21 Mawuwani 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am working on it, Thanks.Thuvack 06:21, 22 Mawuwani 2008 (UTC)[reply]

invitation

As an Administrator, you are allowed into #wikimedia-admin, the cross-wiki coordination channel for Wikimedia administrators. Any member of the channel can invite you in temporarily, but you need an invite exemption from a channel operator to get in whenever you want. Please come to #wikimedia and ask for an invite.

Any admin from any project is welcome and it is a good place for cross-wiki coordination of vandal and spam fighting. It is also useful for new admins to contact more experienced admins in real-time to get help with the more complicated admin tasks such as history merges/splits and importing via Special:Import.

Please remember to translate the interface at betawiki: only and to upload images preferably at commons:

Thank you

Sorry

I haven't been here for ages. I think you're now administrator. I haven't done much articles but, if you translate this phrase to me, I'll can do a lot about Spanish villages. After that, I'll try to put a template with more information such population and another things. Here is the phrase to translate onto Xitsonga, please:

Almazán is a municipality located in the province of Soria, Castile and León, Spain. According to the 2004 census (INE), the municipality has a population of 5,755 inhabitants.

This are words to make the template:

- Country Spain
- Autonomous community Castile and León
- Province Soria
- Municipality Almazán
- Area 165 km²
- Population (2004)
- Total 5,755
- Density 34.9/km² (90.4/sq mi)
- Altitude
- Postal code

Let's try to help on this Wikipedia!!! --Kijr 11:48, 24 Mawuwani 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Corrections

You said that "Miganga-mfumo" was "Autonomous Community" and then, you put it to translate "Municipalities of Almazán shire" (Miganga-mfumo ya Bamba ra Almazán). It's the same? --Kijr 11:13, 25 Mawuwani 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct, The Problem with Translating African Languages is Phonetics. But you are correct "Municipalities of Almazán shire" should be Translated Miganga ya Bamba ra Almazán --Thuvack | ^talk 12:22, 25 Mawuwani 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Help:Contents

I've seen this. If you want, I can translate it into Spanish.

I've created some templates about languages. Do we create Xitsonga templates?
I've end the Almazán county's villages. Now, I'm gonna put the template.

--Kijr 13:37, 29 Mawuwani 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I plan to revamp that page in future, you can go ahead and translate it.
I think we can create Templates in english and only tags to those templates in Xitsonga.
You've done some good work on the Almazán page. Will you be planning more trasnlated pages like those?

--Thuvack | ^talk 13:58, 29 Mawuwani 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm translating all the Soria municipalities. --Kijr 14:01, 29 Mawuwani 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK. I'll do more municipalities. --Kijr 11:03, 31 Mawuwani 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Afrika

I've seen that you've created a portal called "AfriCa" but on the articles and in the main page you've put "AfriKa". Which's the correct form? --Kijr 14:45, 31 Mawuwani 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am creating page names and portals in English and only the Tag of the page in Xitsonga. I think it will be safe to follow that method. So this is what I created ( [[Portal:Africa|Afrika]] ). We can change this later if needs be.--Thuvack | ^talk 15:10, 31 Mawuwani 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Doubts

Could you translate this to me, please? It's part of the Main Page.

Making contact

Hi Thuvack. I sent you an email, but in case it's disabled or doesn't get through, I'd like to chat to you more about your involvement in the Tsonga Wikipedia - it's great to see someone actively involved. You can email me through my user page here, or on the English Wikipedia. Greenman 22:28, 26 Mhawuri 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there and thanks for noticing --Thuvack | ^talk 05:18, 27 Mhawuri 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Country template

Hi Thuvack. If you can help translate the country template, as well as a few other terms, I'll help populate the country templates in the various countries. If you can help, that'll be great. It'll be a little bit of work at first, but then I quickly translate large numbers very quickly using my translate tool. The template is on my talk page. Greenman 12:23, 3 Ndzhati 2008 (UTC)[reply]
