Lingua ladina dolomitica

Scusa se non ti ho risposto, ma io sto dando una mano all'incubator in lingua ladina dolomitica, ma non parlo ladino. Ho visto con piacere che User:Starladin ha già effettuato la traduzione.-Mizardellorsa (talk) 06:22, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Pagdagdag ng template

Pwede ka bang magdagdag ng template ng wika sa itong artikulo. Iyong "language template' tungkol sa Wikang Tausug. --Jamilah Rasin (talk) 05:08, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

@Jamilah Rasin: Lumikha ako ng isang pinasimple na template sa artikulong iyon. Maaari mo na ngayong isalin ang template na iyon sa wika ng Tausug.

Ako ay magiging abala para sa mga sumusunod na araw at linggo kaya kung mayroon kang anumang mga karagdagang katanungan, mangyaring tanungin sila sa Portal ng Komunidad (mangyaring tanungin sila sa ingles sapagkat hindi sila nagsasalita ng tagalog). --DaveZ123 (talk) 08:50, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

Wp/hmd listed at Requests for deletions

An editor has identified a potential problem with one of your test projects contributed Wp/hmd and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Incubator:Requests for deletions/Requests#Two incubators in Hmong varieties until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Wp/dar listed at Requests for deletions

This discussion will occur at Incubator:Requests for deletions/Requests#Wp/dar until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 01:56, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

@Liuxinyu970226: I do not speak that language so he is probably right that some articles written in Russian could be deleted. Please note that I was not the original author of those articles that he had recently tagged for deletion. But why not just move the article to the correct article name and replace the content with genuine Dargin content? (then the incorrect name can either be deleted or act as a permanent redirected page). As that user had pointed out, Dargin has two main dialects so if an article is written correctly in either of the two dialects then it can remain there. --DaveZ123 (talk) 08:40, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Anyway, I would suggest you to withdraw your "Strong oppose" comment under Wp/sxu section, due to that mailing list suggested that Upper Saxon has no different from Standard German on linguistic level (or are you really wanna debate it?) Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 05:07, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

@Liuxinyu970226: Which mailing list? --DaveZ123 (talk) 05:21, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

here Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 05:24, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

@Liuxinyu970226: I am willing to remove my objection if and when such a German to sxu convertor is actually created, properly tested and permanently implemented onto German Wikipedia by one of the German Wikipedia Bureaucrats.

For example, Andalusian Wikipedia converts all the Spanish Wikipdia content into Andalusian.

Of course, Andalusian does not have an existing ISO 693-3 code whereas sxu does. --DaveZ123 (talk) 06:11, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

Can you help with the template?

I see that you are very knowledgeable about Wikipedia, can you please help me with the Template:Wp/dlg/NUMOFARTICLES template? Sauit (talk) 05:15, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

Done,@Sauit:, any other questions or help on other templates, feel free to ask me. --DaveZ123 (talk) 10:32, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

sgh

Hi,

You have been nearly the only contributor to the Shughni Incubator at wp/sgh.

How well do you actually know this language? Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 04:55, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi Amir E. Aharoni, the Shughni articles were based on translations from User:Chixiijak whom is a native speaker of Shughni. He does check through the articles that I have created and makes corrections to some names (mainly placenames) where he considers a better Shughni translation can be made. Bear in mind that most article names were based on his translations in the first place. He did actually create a new article here.

In my honest opinion, in order for this Wikipedia to be eligible for creation as a real Wikipedia, it would still need to meet the usual requirements such as:

1. translation of all the most-used interface messages (approx. 500?) at Translatewiki. They would need to Create an Account at TranslateWiki. This would be the hypothetical Translatewiki url link for Shughni latin:

https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&task=untranslated&group=core-0-mostused&language=sgh-latn&filter=%21translated&action=translate

(the native speakers would need to go through the hurdles of asking the sgh code to be enabled at Translatewiki)

2. Create new articles and perhaps expand on existing ones (I encourage native speakers to also create new articles as well; this should be the long term goal).

3. Invite at least two other Shughni speakers to contribute here (Chixiijak can invite other Shughni users to contribute here or another Shughni person can independently discover this site themselves and start editing here).

I think #1 is the main hurdle because the sgh code is not yet enabled at Translatewiki and User:Chixiijak is not yet aware of the existence of Translatewiki. --DaveZ123 (talk) 09:51, 13 October 2025 (UTC) (P.S. If you can kindly help ask the Admins at Translatewiki to create the sgh-latn code for translating the most used interface messages then that would help enable their translations to start sooner.)

To enable a language in translatewiki, he should create an account and ask for it on the page translatewiki:Support.

I recommend not creating a lot of articles with almost the same text about countries, cities, and elements, but creating more varied articles about various things. Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 03:02, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi, yes, I’m a native speaker of Shughni and have been checking the articles for correctness. Thank you for the advice, I’ll look into Translatewiki and see about enabling sgh-latn. Chixiijak (talk) 23:34, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

Good. Please create an account at https://translatewiki.net. Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 15:38, 15 October 2025 (UTC)
