Please translate the interface (the MediaWiki: namespace) on betawiki:. You can request temporary adminship on m:Steward requests/Permissions. Cbrown1023 17:19, 21 Mawuwani 2008 (UTC)

I am working on it, Thanks.Thuvack 06:21, 22 Mawuwani 2008 (UTC)

invitation

As an Administrator, you are allowed into #wikimedia-admin, the cross-wiki coordination channel for Wikimedia administrators. Any member of the channel can invite you in temporarily, but you need an invite exemption from a channel operator to get in whenever you want. Please come to #wikimedia and ask for an invite.

Any admin from any project is welcome and it is a good place for cross-wiki coordination of vandal and spam fighting. It is also useful for new admins to contact more experienced admins in real-time to get help with the more complicated admin tasks such as history merges/splits and importing via Special:Import.

Please remember to translate the interface at betawiki: only and to upload images preferably at commons:

Thank you

Sorry

I haven't been here for ages. I think you're now administrator. I haven't done much articles but, if you translate this phrase to me, I'll can do a lot about Spanish villages. After that, I'll try to put a template with more information such population and another things. Here is the phrase to translate onto Xitsonga, please:

Almazán is a municipality located in the province of Soria, Castile and León, Spain. According to the 2004 census (INE), the municipality has a population of 5,755 inhabitants.

This are words to make the template:

- Country Spain
- Autonomous community Castile and León
- Province Soria
- Municipality Almazán
- Area 165 km²
- Population (2004)
- Total 5,755
- Density 34.9/km² (90.4/sq mi)
- Altitude
- Postal code

Let's try to help on this Wikipedia!!! --Kijr 11:48, 24 Mawuwani 2008 (UTC)

Corrections

You said that "Miganga-mfumo" was "Autonomous Community" and then, you put it to translate "Municipalities of Almazán shire" (Miganga-mfumo ya Bamba ra Almazán). It's the same? --Kijr 11:13, 25 Mawuwani 2008 (UTC)

You are correct, The Problem with Translating African Languages is Phonetics. But you are correct "Municipalities of Almazán shire" should be Translated Miganga ya Bamba ra Almazán --Thuvack | ^talk 12:22, 25 Mawuwani 2008 (UTC)

Help:Contents

I've seen this. If you want, I can translate it into Spanish.

• I've created some templates about languages. Do we create Xitsonga templates?
• I've end the Almazán county's villages. Now, I'm gonna put the template.

--Kijr 13:37, 29 Mawuwani 2008 (UTC)

• I plan to revamp that page in future, you can go ahead and translate it.
• I think we can create Templates in english and only tags to those templates in Xitsonga.
• You've done some good work on the Almazán page. Will you be planning more trasnlated pages like those?

--Thuvack | ^talk 13:58, 29 Mawuwani 2008 (UTC)

I'm translating all the Soria municipalities. --Kijr 14:01, 29 Mawuwani 2008 (UTC)

OK. I'll do more municipalities. --Kijr 11:03, 31 Mawuwani 2008 (UTC)

Afrika

I've seen that you've created a portal called "AfriCa" but on the articles and in the main page you've put "AfriKa". Which's the correct form? --Kijr 14:45, 31 Mawuwani 2008 (UTC)

I am creating page names and portals in English and only the Tag of the page in Xitsonga. I think it will be safe to follow that method. So this is what I created ( [[Portal:Africa|Afrika]] ). We can change this later if needs be.--Thuvack | ^talk 15:10, 31 Mawuwani 2008 (UTC)

Making contact

Hi Thuvack. I sent you an email, but in case it's disabled or doesn't get through, I'd like to chat to you more about your involvement in the Tsonga Wikipedia - it's great to see someone actively involved. You can email me through my user page here, or on the English Wikipedia. Greenman 22:28, 26 Mhawuri 2008 (UTC)

Hi there and thanks for noticing --Thuvack | ^talk 05:18, 27 Mhawuri 2008 (UTC)

Country template

Hi Thuvack. If you can help translate the country template, as well as a few other terms, I'll help populate the country templates in the various countries. If you can help, that'll be great. It'll be a little bit of work at first, but then I quickly translate large numbers very quickly using my translate tool. The template is on my talk page. Greenman 12:23, 3 Ndzhati 2008 (UTC)
