Description [[kgh]] 2011-06-17 08:45:41 UTC
It should be possible to translate the names of special pages through translatwiki.net. So far it seems to me that it is currently done in the codebase directly.

This would add further usability for users and more consistency, e.g. "Special:Ask" is already available as "Spezial:Semantische Suche", but "Special:Browse" is not available as "Spezial:Browsen".
Comment 1 Sam Reed (reedy) 2011-06-17 11:44:47 UTC
I don't think this is actually a SMW bug, is it? It's a request for translate to be able to support this?

Translate extension supports special page alias translation if done in standard way.
Comment 3 Jeroen De Dauw 2011-06-17 18:17:12 UTC
This is the standard way right? http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/languages/SMW_Aliases.php?view=markup

If so, there simply is no German translation for Browse yet.

It looks like this is working.  It is possible to translate special page aliases on translatewiki.net if the special page aliases are setup correctly, which they are int he case of Semantic MediaWiki.  You can translate "Browse" at the link above.  Scroll down to the "Special page aliases - Semantic MediaWiki" section.

Hey, I was not aware of this special interface at translatewiki.net If one may translate these pages there, which is obviously the case, than everything is cool. Do not be angry with me. Perhaps it is just one of these days. Thank you to all of you for your help!
Comment 6 Casey Brown 2011-06-17 19:05:18 UTC
No one's angry with you. =]  That interface is a little hard to find, but I think that's how it's supposed to be.  It's a very advanced feature that we only want the advanced translators to touch. ;-)
