[RING] need=translation

[MauroKing]

I have just taken care of most of Diego's translation and some of Larissa's...

I hope it helps

[thebruce]

thanks a lot, you two have just taken care of a major 'to do' task .

[joeyhess]

Is there any good way to subscribe to a feed of new translations? I don't have time to follow recentchanges on the wiki..

[thebruce]

not sure what you mean by a 'feed of new translations'. Finished, or needing translation?

You can view this page http://olympics.wikibruce.com/Category:Translation_Needed to see the outstanding list...
I don't think mediawiki has a way to cross-check categories...
hmm... perhaps I could add a category for each language where translation is needed. I think it may be pretty easy too.


ETA: there we go, quick fix. follow the link above to get to the categories listing specific language pages needing translation. That should help a bit

I think I have an idea what's being requested, because it sounds like what I've been wishing for...my RSS feed reader will tell me, for example, when you post to the wiki that Meihui has a new blog entry, say. However, it does not tell me when that entry has been translated into English so I can actually get something out of that blog entry. He can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that kind of notification is what joeyhess is looking for. I don't know if it's technically feasible, though...I suppose there must be some way to monitor the change history of the entire wiki, but not sure if that would be helpful.

[thebruce]

yeh I gathered that in the last post, and yeh, it's technically a little more complex to accomplish

you could either follow the recentcanges page/rss, or you could specifically track changes for the page you want - it'll notify you when it's edited.
that's about all I got. otherwise, someone would have to manually make notifications that something has become translated. I'd recommend the page watching method...

The problem is that those of us on here who are bilingual (or who can at least fake it well *cough*me*cough*) are mostly Spanish/English, German/English or French/English. There are fewer Japanese/English speakers and even fewer Mandarin/English speakers. And I have so far met only two Esperanto/English speakers.

So most of the stuff that needs to get translated falls on three or four people.

I've done a lot and now there remain only three video-linked entries of Noriko's blog:
http://olympics.wikibruce.com/Category:Translation_Needed_Japanese

But these videos are long ... does anybody possibly know any of these three videos have been translated into English?

Especially I wonder if the first video has been already translated. This is the very first video of Noriko, where she says she needs help.
I participated in FTLR at the end of March, so I don't know much about the beginning of FTLR.

There's this tool that converts flv to mp3, all done without installing anything,
provided that it's on youtube: http://flvto.com/
It's great for those who's on dial-up/slow connection, and what you get is just the mp3(lower file size) for a quick translation without having to wait for the whole video.
