Your problem is that you can't just invent namespaces (just putting ":" in the
name is not enough), you have to actually translate them, all these วิกิพีเดีย:
pages are actually in the main namespace.

so, how to "actually translate" it ?

does it in http://th.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Allmessages ?

thanks :)

LanguageTh.php has some but not all namespaces translated, they cannot be
translated using Special:Allmessages

Patch for namespace translations

I tried to translate almost namespaces.

attachment LanguageTh.php.patch ignored as obsolete

Have you asked for example the Thai language project communities that these are
the correct translations. Changing namespaces is a messy process and we would
like get them right at the first time. Also, you are not supposed to remove
$wgMetanamespace. If that is not possible, because it has to change too, report
back so we can do it properly.

Reopen, patch is being prepared.

The patch is ready.
These namespaces are approved by the community as Arthit indicated.

And we also request for translating these project names into Thai so all
namespaces will be localized.

Wikibooks = 'วิกิตำรา'
Wiktionary = 'วิกิพจนานุกรม'
Wikiquote = 'วิกิคำคม'

I forget that Wikipedia project name is still in English, it is also requested
for translation.

We are still looking forward to this issue.
Do we have to wait for the new namespace manager developing in branch 1.6?

Lot's of existing links would probably stop working with that patch.
