Re: Milestone translation

Hey Kandy Talbot, thank you very much for your Slovak translation of the Milestone tool!! I've uploaded your translation to http://tools.wikimedia.de/~tangotango/milestone.php?lang=sk (it's also available via the language selector box in the top-right hand corner), so please take a moment to check that it looks okay.

You'll notice that some strings (most noticeably "Welcome") are still in English; this is because these strings are stored in a separate, "general" language file that is shared across all my tools. If it is not too much to ask, could you please translate these general strings into Slovak as well, please?

$lang['gen_error'] = 'Error';
$lang['gen_db-connect-error'] = 'Could not connect to database server (Zedler may be down); Error was: ';
$lang['gen_db-select-error'] = 'Could not select database (The database you selected may be non-existent); Error was: ';
$lang['gen_welcome'] = 'Welcome';
$lang['gen_invalid_dbname'] = 'Patently invalid database name';

$lang['gen_nonexistent_wiki'] = 'The project you selected is either non-existent or is not replicated to the toolserver.';
$lang['gen_query_failed'] = 'The SQL query failed with the following error: ';
$lang['gen_query_failed_badrowcount'] = 'The SQL query did not return the correct number of rows.';

(Zedler is the name of one of the toolservers that contains the database server.)

Once again, thank you very much!! Cheers, Tangotango 13:44, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

$lang['gen_error'] = 'Chyba';
$lang['gen_db-connect-error'] = 'Nepodarilo sa pripojiť k databázovému serveru (Zedler je možno dole); Chyba bola: ';
$lang['gen_db-select-error'] = 'Nepodarilo sa vybrať databázu (Databáza, ktorú si vybral, možno neexistuje); Chyba bola: ';
$lang['gen_welcome'] = 'Vitaj';
$lang['gen_invalid_dbname'] = 'Zjavne neplatné meno databázy';

$lang['gen_nonexistent_wiki'] = 'Projekt, ktorý si vybral, buď neexistuje, alebo nie je skopírovaný na pracovný server.';
$lang['gen_query_failed'] = 'SQL dotaz zlyhal s nasledujúcou chybou: ';
$lang['gen_query_failed_badrowcount'] = 'SQL dotaz nevrátil správny počet riadkov.';

Superprotect status

Dear Kandy Talbot, since you are an administrator on a wiki from which no user participated in this discussion, I'd like to make sure you are aware of some recent events which may alter what the Wikimedia Foundation lets you do on your wiki: Superprotect.

Please sign new Wikimedia confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information by 31 December

This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.

As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are beginning the transition to the new policy.

An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.

The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that OTRS volunteers sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 to retain their access. You are receiving this email because you have been identified as an OTRS volunteer and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy. If you do not sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015, you will lose your OTRS access. OTRS volunteers have a specific agreement available, if you have recently signed the general confidentiality agreement for another role (such as CheckUser or Oversight), you do not need to sign the general agreement again, but you will still need to sign the OTRS agreement.

Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign

If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnumwikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 to retain your OTRS access. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.

Thank you,
Gregory Varnum (User:GVarnum-WMF), Wikimedia Foundation
