Commons:Picture of the Year/2012/Translations
This guide is intended to help translators quickly and easily translate the Picture of the Year contest to many languages.
- For some languages, you might be able to use the pages from last year as base, please see the index
Use the three tables below to find the appropriate translation page for each message and language. Start with the English message and translate each message to the target language. Do not use a machine translator to translate.
Frequently Answered Questions
- Why doesn't my language appear below?
- The Picture of the Year committee has determined high-priority languages for translation based on their popularity. Please contact us and we will add your language to the table below. Remember to let us know, as we will have to update banners on a different wiki.
- How do I process dates in messages?
- With {{POTY2012/state}}, you can control the output for all languages; with {{POTY2012/date}} you can set the date of the next event; the translator is able to convert the date to a custom format (please check {{POTY2012/pt}} or {{POTY2012/ja}} for example of custom formats).
- Do all the messages need to be translated?
- The short answer is yes, all messages should be translated. For a perfect voting experience, all the messages need to be localized. However, priority should be given to banners and interface messages (not long announcements).
- Where is the English version of the results?
- The Picture of the Year committee doesn't have results until the end of both rounds. There's nothing to translate yet. It's likely that we will use Meta for translating results.
- How do I translate a protected page?
- Place your translation on the talk page and tag it with {{Editrequest}}. Be sure let us know on the POTY talk page, contact an admin, or mention it in #wikimedia-commons-poty webchat or #wikimedia-commons webchat with
!admin@commons

It would be kind, if you could check that your language translation of MediaWiki:EnhancedPOTY.js is up-to-date. You can do this by either comparing your translation with the translation-section of MediaWiki:EnhancedPOTY.js or by comparing it with MediaWiki talk:EnhancedPOTY.js/AppPreload. Thank you. —R.
