request to make mailman wikimedia mailing
list/mailman localisation
translation facility avaialable at
translatewiki.net Although I would like
this, too, it's not in my hands entirely. We need the
developer community of the products we support to stand behind this,
because we will demand that they will follow up on the translator
questions. Otherwise we would be just any localisation platform. We pride
ourselves to be the platform that cares about translators and real quality.
See
https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:New_project for details. I
would suggest that you get in touch with the developers and or translators
and discuss how they like their current solutions, and if they're open to
changing those.
While
currently location based one or two mailing lists are available but
most of Marathi language wikipedians prefer to receive mailing list
messages
and mailing list moderation in Marathi
language.So we will be start using
wikimedia mailing list only after localisation for marathi wikipedians.
.Presently we are convincing diverting and training lot of wikipedians
from
our wikipedia to work on translation of media
wiki and mediawiki
translations.One is our available pool of editors is already small and
many
people from translation background find it
difficult to cope up with
different different environments.
See
http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/Internationalization (kinda recent)
OTRS might be another Wikimedia tool that could benefit from localisation.
As said: we're not diving in supporting projects without backup from the
developer community of those projects.
Cheers!
