Recently I got a request to not use Russian but Ukrainian text for the
summaries of the interwiki bot at the Ukrainian Wikipedia. This has
now been done, but I can imagine there are more languages that would
like to have their own language, or perhaps another choice of
alternative language than the one I have made. If you want summaries
in your own language on your Wikipedia for the bot, please send me a
message with these summaries.
The following languages already have translations:
af,ar,br,ca,cs,da,de,el,en,eo,es,eu,fa,fi,fr,he,hr,ia,is,it,ka,ksh,lt,mzn,nds,nds-nl,nl,
nn,no,os,pl,pt,ro,ru,sk,sl,sr,sv,uk
Of the other languages, the language used for the summaries is:
Arabic is used by ku,so
German is used by als,bar,hsb,lb
Esperanto is used by io,nov
Spanish is used by an,ast,ay,ceb,gl,gn,lad,nah,pag,qu,tl,war
Farsi is used by glk
French is used by co,frp,ht,ie,kab,ln,lo,nrm,oc,vi,wa
Hebrew is used by yi
Croatian is used by bs,mk,sh
Italian is used by eml,lij,lmo,nap,pms,rm,roa-tara,sc,scn,vec
Lithuanian is used by bat-smg
Dutch is used by fy,li,pap,vls,zea
Norse (bokmal) is used by se
Portuguese is used by tet
Romanian is used by mo,roa-rup
Russian is used by av,be,be-x-old,bxr,cv,got,hy,kk,ky,lbe,ru-sib,tk,tt,udm,xal
All languages not mentioned in the above use English.
If you want a localization in your language, please send me the
replacements for the texts "robot", "Adding", "Removing" and
"Modifying". If there is no local replacement needed, but you do think
that you would do better with some other language, just state which
(if any) language(s) should be preferred to English.

Hello, I don't know whether my mail written yesterday reached the
mailinglist, so again:
here's the Tetum (tet) translation:
"robot" - bot
"Adding" - tau tan
"Removing" - hasai
"Modifying" - filak

Hello,
I have been having a problem for about two weeks now operating my bots on
Wikimedia sites (archive bot on dewiki and others, recategorization bot on
dewiki). They keep losing session information without any obvious cause in
the middle of a bot run. Until now, the bot would open special:userlogin at
the start of a run, keep the cookie it gets and send it with each edit. For
some reason, this doesn't seem to always work anymore. A good example of
what happens can be shown here:
1.) logged on:
http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spezial:Beitr%C3%A4ge&dir=prev&of…
2.) suddenly logged off:
http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spezial:Beitr%C3%A4ge&dir=prev&of…
There are no IP changes on my side and a delay of no more than 20 seconds
between the edit with and without login information. Is there something I
should do differently so this doesn't happen anymore? I don't use
pywikipediabot but a framework I created myself. The bot code hasn't changed
and had worked until recently. Any idea?
Regards,
Sebastian
Hi,
I am a new user of the interwiki.py program in the pywikipedia package,
which I use to set and correct interlanguage links at 6 Wikipedias.
I have some issues (possible bugs and enhancement proposals) which I
would like to report and discus. But I am unsure of which forum to use:
* wikibots-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org (this list), or
* pywikipediabot-users(a)lists.sourceforge.net, or
* the tracker system at sourceforge.net
Could someone please explain what is best discussed where? And also, do
you prefer that I send all my issues in one e-mail, or should I send
several?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Byrial
Dear all,
I am planning to run interwiki.py (from pywikipedia) on the Volapük wikipedia, but I don't have a place in a server that I could use to store the resulting warnfiles so that other interwiki.py users could have access to them. What should I do? Is there some place somewhere in wikipedia where I could upload the files and then post their address to others? Or is there a mailing list (perhaps this one?) that I could send the (gzipped) warnfiles to?
Another question: I'm having problems running little bots on the Volapük wikipedia. For some reason, the python command: page.get() (to get the text of the page stored in the variable 'page') doesn't work from my GUI (I'm using IDLE). If I put text -- using page.put() -- it works fine; but if I want to retrieve the text I have just uploaded with page.put(), then for some strange reason page.get() won't do it -- I just get a longish error message that apparently says there is no such page. Would anyone be able to help me? Or do you know who I can ask for help, in case this is not the right place?

I am sometimes asked to request for bot status for my bot. I find this
strange. Bot status is there for the normal users of the wiki, not for
the bot operator. If you want my bot to have bot status, then you
request it. I'd be happy to help you in that, but why should I request
something just because someone else wants it?
