[Mediawiki-l] German Translation 1.6.X

Tue Apr 11 19:17:24 UTC 2006

Check out the latest trunk version from the SVN (see 
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN and 
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Subversion). Open the file 
languages/MessagesDe.php, and fix the problems. You can work with the 
file languages/Messages.php, and with 
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Allmessages to help you. It will 
change all the projects in Deutch (Wikimedia projects and the new 
versions of MediaWiki, starting from 1.7 will be released in June (?)), 
so make it general, not specific for Wikipedia.

Then create a diff (a unified patch, the developers can use) with the 
command "svn diff > 1.patch" in the command prompt (in the root folder), 
upload it to http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org, the developers will review 
it (it may take an hour, a day or a month - depending on the what did 
you change, and on the luck) and will check it into the code.

See also the old documentation (talks about the CVS, was replaced in 
April 1st) in http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_localisation.

As for the bug tracker, see 
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5450 for example.
