:If there is ''actual'' interest in translating pages, I'll talk to GStaff about it. Unfortunately, at least thus far, the "translators" have all been vandals more than anything. None of them (and there have been a few) have responded to questions or suggestions, so I don't really know what to say. If anyone posts here with intent to do some translations, though, I'll be happy to ask Gstaff about it. | :If there is ''actual'' interest in translating pages, I'll talk to GStaff about it.

:: Hrm - if it's a common problem, I find it hard to imagine a mind that could think it entertaining to make a translation that they know will be immediately reverted, though. Hrm. I wonder if... maybe there's someone out there making a site for Italians, and publishing the translated page here and copying it is the easiest way for them? Or maybe they are just linking to the pages in the history, and not caring that they are reverted? I can't find anything in Google matching the translated pages, so those are just guesses. | |||
:: *I'm* interested. Just not capable :P But while I have effectively zero language skills, I do believe translations are a Good Thing, and I'd be interested in resurrecting any reverted translations I could find onto an "it.*" or "es.*" or whatever domain, if it'd be something that mere users could do. Since the site currently has only 500 pages > 400 bytes, even a half-dozen translated pages are a significant resource, and especially of the main tutorials, would really give non-first-language English speakers a running start with modding. | |||
:: Whatever the reasons they're made, it seems the translations are accurately done (though I know only the barest schoolboy Italian), and Beth has rights to use them as they were published on this site. "Interest" doesn't need to be shown, since the pages already exist: just interest on GStaff's part in allowing those pages to be made available without people having to trawl through history logs. | |||
:: I suspect it'd also be an amusing way to break whatever the vandal-translators are trying to do, since if they're trying to make a mirror site in another language, having that same stuff on the official site will suck hits from their unofficial mirror, and make all their work in vain. *evil grin* [[User:DewiMorgan|DewiMorgan]] 15:26, 10 April 2009 (UTC) | |||
