While I haven't been able to contribute much, I've been excited to see the multilingual Welcome page project come together.  How soon will these pages be linked on [[Main Page]]?  I know that some dummies were made for a front page nav bar. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 23:05, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

#'''Translation of welcome pages:''' Out of the '''8''' non-English languages for which we have subtitles, '''3''' have completely translated welcome pages, '''2''' have partially translated welcome pages, and '''3''' have no welcome page at all. In my opinion, this part is ready — once the links are on the main page, the greater attention to this pages will probably drive their quick completion (at least in the case of the partially translated ones).

#'''Toon lists:''' The idea is to have separate lists of toons for which subtitles have been translated located at [[Special:Subtitleslist/LANGUAGE_CODE]] (ultimately, the lists will look something like [[User:Trey56/HRWiki:Subtitles/Toon_List/LANGUAGE_CODE|this]]). The data for these lists is located at [[HRWiki:Subtitles/Data]], and right now [[Special:Subtitleslist]] is automatically generated using this data.

#'''Links on Main Page:''' A bigger discussion needs to take place concerning where on the main page the links will go. Changing the format of the main page is a big deal, and we want to make the links for different languages easily visible, but not so much that they dominate the main page.

While I haven't been able to contribute much, I've been excited to see the multilingual Welcome page project come together. How soon will these pages be linked on Main Page? I know that some dummies were made for a front page nav bar. wbwolf (t | ed) 23:05, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Here's my understanding of the current status:
  1. Translation of welcome pages: Out of the 8 non-English languages for which we have subtitles, 3 have completely translated welcome pages, 2 have partially translated welcome pages, and 3 have no welcome page at all. In my opinion, this part is ready — once the links are on the main page, the greater attention to this pages will probably drive their quick completion (at least in the case of the partially translated ones).
  2. Toon lists: The idea is to have separate lists of toons for which subtitles have been translated located at Special:Subtitleslist/LANGUAGE_CODE (ultimately, the lists will look something like this). The data for these lists is located at HRWiki:Subtitles/Data, and right now Special:Subtitleslist is automatically generated using this data.
  3. Links on Main Page: A bigger discussion needs to take place concerning where on the main page the links will go. Changing the format of the main page is a big deal, and we want to make the links for different languages easily visible, but not so much that they dominate the main page.
So, with respect to #1, I think we're ready to go, but #2 and #3 need to happen before links can be added to the main page. Trey56 23:42, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
