Make all sidebar phrases translatable
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

We only translate six out of seven phrases visible in the left/right sidebar at the moment; having them all translatable (and also allowing date and time localization, but that's another bug) would be nice.

The following phrases need to find their translations:

  • "All times in UTC"
  • "Powered by"
  • "Wikimedia"
  • "Planetarium"

I'm adding this bug instead of doing this straight away because I need to get hold of translators or otherwise find existing translations on the interwebs (Wordpress, Planet Venus, Translatewiki?). Will submit a patch once I get them all.

Obviously, this should've said 'three out of seven' instead of 'six out of seven', but the point remains :-) [Also removing the 'shell' keyword.]

[ Czech (cs) ]

  • "Všechny časy jsou v UTC“
  • „Provozováno na“
  • „Wikimedia“
  • „Planetarium“

(And this would have probably been easier done on [[meta:Translation requests]]?)

Ideally it should be happening on Translatewiki, but I haven't gotten there yet. And because I only need a handful of languages, I thought a simple e-mail might do. I'll see what can be done to use a more efficient process; thanks for your translation anyway :-)

[ Japanese ]

  • "時刻はすべてUTCです。"
  • "Powered by" (I think this passage does not need to be translated.... If it is needed, it will be "で動作中")
  • "ウィキメディア"
  • "プラネタリウム"

[ Simplified Chinese ]

  • "所有时间以UTC为准"
  • "Powered by" (The grammar does not work if only this phase is translated, the translation should be "由Planet支持")
  • "Wikimedia" or "维基媒体" (either one works)
  • "Planetarium" or "天文馆" (personally prefers the non-translated version since the "planet" in "Wikimedia Planet" is not translated as well.)

[ Traditional Chinese ]

  • "所有時間以UTC為準"
  • "Powered by" (or "由Planet支援")
  • "Wikimedia" or "維基媒體"
  • "Planetarium" or "天文館"

Thanks a lot for comment 6! Would you mind telling me what's the version currently used at http://zh.planet.wikimedia.org so I can decide which one to take for the phrases in the left sidebar?

You're welcome. The version currently used is traditional Chinese.
