the text given is the entirety of the content

go to meta page
copy the content of the first line
example :"Wikimedia Board of Trustees election",

Click on the first red link
example :  MediaWiki:boardvote 

you get the edit page
http://meta.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=MediaWiki:Boardvote&action=edit

change it to another language
example : 
http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=MediaWiki:Boardvote&action=edit

edit the content (translate) then save
you get this
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki%3ABoardvote

repeat for each message

ideally, those messages for admin are not necessary
since danny and imran are english speakers
but these messages are also very very short :-)
