Hi, I saw you create regularly some pages which contain several templates in a specific Wikipedia. Is it easy for you to do that or it's a time-consuming task? I can help you to do it very quickly if you want. There is a gadget in Wikipedia which translate the links (here Template links) to every language you want. It could be very useful for this process. Tell me if you want, please. ●[[User:Mehran|<span style="color:Navy; font-size:100%; font-family:Comic Sans MS;">'''Mehran'''</span>]] <sup>[[User_talk:Mehran|<font color="orange">''Debate''</font>]]</sup>● 10:14, 27 November 2012 (CET)

:Hi Mehran, thank you for your offer. You are right, is should optimize this process. What is the name of this gadget? I guess this is based on the interwiki links? I should build a script to do something similar. The reason I still do not have doing it is that I fear that if the interwiki links are wrong, we will remove essential templates.

::In fact it's not a gadget, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Ebraminio/ArticleTranslator.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript here] is the script. You should just add the above page in your common.js. ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mehran/common.js Like this]) I've used it on many occasions, it works without any problems. It based on the interwiki links, but in the case of your anxiety (wrong links), I think the templates which you use are generally identical and correct, anyway you can check the links quickly to verify if they're wrong or not, it's faster than run each page separately. BTW it leaves the red links alone. Try it maybe it could help the project. :) ●[[User:Mehran|<span style="color:Navy; font-size:100%; font-family:Comic Sans MS;">'''Mehran'''</span>]] <sup>[[User_talk:Mehran|<font color="orange">''Debate''</font>]]</sup>● 12:46, 27 November 2012 (CET)
== About turkish translation ==
Hi Kelson,
I added the Turkish translation of the [http://kiwix.org/index.php/Main_Page/tr main page]. But I don't know how to link it to the main page navigation bar. Regards, [[User:Khadkhall|Khadkhall]] 12:14, 11 January 2013 (CET)
: Hi Khadkhall. This is great! I have added Turkish on the translation Banner. Hope you enjoy Kiwix and Wikipedia offline. If you are still volunteer ;) there are still [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&taction=translate&group=out-kiwix&language=tr&limit=5000&task=view a few strings to translate in Turkish for the Kiwix UI]. Kind regards [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] 12:19, 11 January 2013 (CET)

== I want to contribute to Wiki and Zim files ==
Hi Kelson,
I want to contribute to Kiwix. At the present, I am interested in these:
# Editing and improving the Kiwix wiki
# Creating and uploading zim files.
I am using Kiwix for more than a year now. But I am not happy with my Wikipedia version of 2012. I require the latest version but found no zim files from Kiwix. But I found bzip2 database from Wikipedia. I am thinking to convert it to zim file for me and other people.
Kindly guide me on these:
# How can I upload converted zim files to Kiwix site for others to download?
# Will that zim file will be able to download for others?
If you have any more suggestions then I'd be glad to hear them.
Waiting for your response.
Thanks!

:Dear Akapribot. Thank you for your proposition. Do you have skills in coding? [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] ([[User talk:Kelson|talk]]) 16:40, 1 July 2013 (CEST)
:I am a beginner in coding. I have some knowledge of HTML, CSS, C++, and Java. Actually, I tried to find some development section on wiki, but unable to get one. I can try to help if you tell from where and how to start? Please help. --[[User:Akapribot|Ashutosh Kumar Singh]] ([[User talk:Akapribot|talk]]) 17:07, 1 July 2013 (CEST)
::I'm currently working to build a new Wikipedia dumper in nodejs. You could maybe have a look ? https://sourceforge.net/p/kiwix/other/ci/master/tree/mwhtmldumper/ [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] ([[User talk:Kelson|talk]]) 17:39, 1 July 2013 (CEST)
::I read it. Till this time, code is written to download content from Wikipedia and create HTML files. Right? Though I am new to nodejs, I think I might help if you can guide me what to do and also provide some details and documentation that how are we creating the dump? --[[User:Akapribot|Ashutosh Kumar Singh]] ([[User talk:Akapribot|talk]]) 01:29, 2 July 2013 (CEST)
:::Yes, this script is a prototype to download articles from Wikipedia. The old way we were using doesn't work anymore this is why I work on that new script now. The approach is to create a directory on the hard-disk with all the pictures and html pages and then transform this directory to a ZIM file (I have a script to do that). One of the things to do with this script is to better retrieve js/css, if you have a look in details, you will see all the necessary css/js code is not downloaded from the wikipedia. So it would be great if you could fix that? 10:14, 2 July 2013 (CEST)
:::Sorry for taking so much time. I was busy setting up Ubuntu and node.js to test your code. I tested it but can't find the problem. JS and CSS are dumped as properly as possible. For this, I quick scanned the original CSS/JS with dumped ones. I think they are nicely minimized in head and body (.js and .css) files.
:::Yes, I got some errors while script was downloading images (errors occurred sometimes while everything worked well rest of the times). If you still think JS/CSS is not loaded properly, please send me some details or example tests or something similar. If I can help in any other way too then I'd love to. Thanks! --[[User:Akapribot|Ashutosh Kumar Singh]] ([[User talk:Akapribot|talk]]) 16:33, 3 July 2013 (CEST)
::::Nice, you have achieved to run it. One think which does not work is the hide/show javascript links in the boxes at the bottom of the page. This is one of the things which worry me... Feel free to join us on irc Freenode #kiwix chat channel. Regards [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] ([[User talk:Kelson|talk]]) 16:39, 3 July 2013 (CEST)
::::Oh yes, it took me sometime to figure out the dependencies (nodejs modules) though. Which page are we talking about here? The html file dumped using script? I will be on #kiwix in a day or two. Thanks! --[[User:Akapribot|Ashutosh Kumar Singh]] ([[User talk:Akapribot|talk]]) 22:54, 3 July 2013 (CEST)
:::::Yes, the article ablout "Mayotte", but this is just an example to show you that js doesn't work properly on the dumped article. [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] ([[User talk:Kelson|talk]]) 00:13, 4 July 2013 (CEST)
== Editions par un nouvel inscrit sur ce wiki ==
Bonjour Kelson.
Excusez-moi pour le dérangement en fin de matinée.
Dans le processus d'inscription, j'ai bien vu que des captchas freinaient mes premières contributions -- mais pas les traductions/adaptations -- mais aucun message n'indique, au cours du processus d'inscription et de validation de l'e-mail, qu'un délai de trois jours sera maintenu avant d'avoir accès en édition à une page User: ou User_talk:  Ce petit et court message ("patientez trois jours avant d'éditer votre page Utilisateur SVP" par exemple...) adressé aux nouveaux inscrits bien humains manque : je n'ai "rien" compris de ce qui se passait !
Quant aux petites modifications que j'ai apportées de ci de là, c'est de la "typo." superficielle, histoire de confirmer le sérieux du projet Kiwix. ça me permet aussi d'expérimenter la contribution sur un MediaWiki multilingue -- et c'est vrai que ça reste alambiqué... Cordialement,
--[[User:BonifaceFR|BonifaceFR]] ([[User talk:BonifaceFR|talk]]) 14:05, 20 November 2013 (CET)
== Editor for Kiwix ==
I cannot edit some pages on Kiwix. How can I have the access?
I really want to edit a typo on [[Wikipedia in all languages|this page]], but I can't edit it. Please edit '''Bittorent''' into  '''BitTorrent'''. There is also a suggestion from me to edit all Bittorrent into BitTorrent.

:I have given to you the admin permissions, you should not have any problem anymore :). Thank you very much for all the good work on the Indonesian translation of the web site. [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] ([[User talk:Kelson|talk]]) 07:44, 22 May 2014 (CEST)
::Thank you for your trust in me, Mr. Kelson. It is my pleasure to make something better.

== "Tell us your story" template in English ==
Hi, Do you know why this template appears always in English? My user language is set to Spanish and the template is already translated. [[User:Macofe|Macofe]] ([[User talk:Macofe|talk]]) 22:39, 24 November 2014 (CET)
:Hi, It always appears in English because there is no solution to localize [[:MediaWiki:Sitenotice]]... unfortunately. [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] ([[User talk:Kelson|talk]]) 01:48, 25 November 2014 (CET)
== incorrect file type? ==
Are you sure about [http://www.kiwix.org/w/index.php?title=Translations:Template:Wikipedia_download_button/5/ja&diff=19308&oldid=14097&rcid=&curid=4963 this] change of yours? [[User:Macofe|Macofe]] ([[User talk:Macofe|talk]]) 19:54, 30 December 2014 (CET)
: No ;) [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] ([[User talk:Kelson|talk]]) 20:42, 7 January 2015 (CET)
I'm getting this error message trying to use the 2.4 Kiwix Android version for opening my French Wikipédia .zim (the 2018 one) ...
Could I please have the previous version of the app back ? [[User:JanPiteJanseke|JanPiteJanseke]] ([[User talk:JanPiteJanseke|talk]]) 13:26, 4 September 2018 (CEST)
== User guide missing from LanguageStats ==
Do you know why the [http://www.kiwix.org/w/index.php?title=User_guide User guide] doesn't appear in [http://www.kiwix.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALanguageStats&x=D LanguageStats] like the rest of the translatable pages?
By the way, the User guide has some large paragraphs to translate. It would be better to have either small paragraphs or keep the actual ones but change the translate tags, so that each tranlation string consist of fewer sentences.
Reply here. Thanks in advance. [[User:Macofe|Macofe]] ([[User talk:Macofe|talk]]) 20:36, 6 January 2015 (CET)
:Hi Macofe, I have fixed it. For any reason, this page was listed in "should better not be translated". [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] ([[User talk:Kelson|talk]]) 20:42, 7 January 2015 (CET)
== Avoinding templates in translations ==
On Saturday, Fuzzybot updated the translation of the Main Page with the changes you made. I think it is unnecessary, confusing, and error prone for translators that something like the following appears in the strings to translate:
<nowiki>
[[{{#ifeq:{{SUBPAGENAMEE}}|{{BASEPAGENAMEE}}|Features|{{#ifexist:Features/{{SUBPAGENAMEE}}|Features/{{SUBPAGENAMEE}}|Special:MyLanguage/Features}}}}|More features...]]
</nowiki>
Only 'More features' should be translatable there. Same thing for the others changes. [[User:Macofe|Macofe]] ([[User talk:Macofe|talk]]) 23:39, 12 January 2015 (CET)
:Yes, although this is not always easy to achieve to do so, in particular if the link is in the middle of a sentence. I think we should do a template to ''abstract'' this and yes if possible remove it from the text to translate. [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] ([[User talk:Kelson|talk]]) 09:28, 13 January 2015 (CET)
::I have created [[:template:ll|the template]] [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] ([[User talk:Kelson|talk]]) 12:55, 13 January 2015 (CET)
== Remaining pages marked for translation ==
There are 4 [[Special:PageTranslation|remaining pages marked for translation]] but I'm doubtful about the changes in the original English pages. It would be prudent to review/update them and then mark them for translation. [[User:Macofe|Macofe]] ([[User talk:Macofe|talk]]) 23:40, 15 January 2015 (CET)
:Done. [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] ([[User talk:Kelson|talk]]) 08:29, 16 January 2015 (CET)
== Wikimedia project logos ==
How can I know the names of the logos in each language? It seems that they [http://www.kiwix.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translations&message=Translations%3ATemplate%3AWikinews+download+button%2F9 don't follow a pattern] like [http://www.kiwix.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translations&message=Translations%3ATemplate%3AWikipedia+download+button%2F2 ZIM files do]. I checked [[Special:ListFiles]] but they aren't there.
[[User:Macofe|Macofe]] ([[User talk:Macofe|talk]]) 19:59, 10 February 2015 (CET)
: There is not automatic solution. These pictures come from http://commons.wikimedia.org and you need to have a look there to see what it the name of the logo you search. The most common approach is to go to the page "Category:projectname" and then you have a subcategory for the logos. [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] ([[User talk:Kelson|talk]]) 20:52, 10 February 2015 (CET)
== Bot flag ==
Hi Kelson,
Please, add [http://www.kiwix.org/wiki/Special:UserRights/LibraryBot bot flag]. Thanks --[[User:Wilfredor|Wilfredor]] ([[User talk:Wilfredor|talk]]) 18:55, 1 July 2015 (CEST)
:Hi Wilfredo, it's done. [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] ([[User talk:Kelson|talk]]) 11:31, 3 July 2015 (CEST)
:: Merci --[[User:Wilfredor|Wilfredor]] ([[User talk:Wilfredor|talk]]) 13:32, 3 July 2015 (CEST)
