Wikivoyage:Russian Wikivoyage Expedition

From Wikivoyage
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This page intends to organize efforts to make a Russian version of Wikitravel. Until the version is created, all discussions should be in English, so other Wikitravellers may join the discussion.

Rationale

[edit]

Russian (русский язык) is one of the most spoken languages in the World. For more info, see Wikipedia.

Objectives

[edit]
  • Make a travel guide for Russians, citizens of ex-USSR republics and any other Russian speakers.

According to Wikitravel Language edition policies, every language edition of Wikitravel has to represent a global view. --(WT-en) EmbrunOntario 20:35, 17 August 2006 (EDT)

Name

[edit]

Why not translate also the name.

  • because that would require a dedicated server
  • to reinforce and join forces in the brand wikitravel

Goal

[edit]

See the Language version policy for see what it takes to start our own wikitravel

Gather a minimum team

[edit]

Members who would gladly like to contribute:

Go-between

[edit]

This project needs someone to step forward to be the go-between for Russian. The go-between is responsible for keeping the Russian version of Wikitravel connected to the rest of the projects, by making a monthly report, translated bug reports and feature requests and news, and keeping up-to-date on what's happening with the rest of the site.

Interface file translation

[edit]

The interface file for Russian needs to be matched to Wikitravel. References to Wikipedia should be changed to {{SITENAME}} and reference to the GFDL should be changed to the CC by-sa 1.0.

Expedition members can edit the file here: Project:LanguageRu.php. It may be worthwhile to compare here: Project:Language.php for the English version.

Namespaces

[edit]

I've translated the namespaces as following:

  • Media: средства
  • Special: Статистика
  • Talk: Обсуждение
  • User: Участник
  • User talk: Обсуждение участника

If anyone feels these namespaces are incorrect, then feel free to change them. They are currently defined in Project:LanguageRu.php --(WT-en) EmbrunOntario 20:40, 17 August 2006 (EDT)
