Hi, I am from Malayalam Wikipedia (http://ml.wikipedia.org) Recently, the Namespace used for the images (and file uploads) is changed to "File" in the MediaWiki software. Due to this, we (the Malayalam Wiki projects) have decided to use a name space that convey the same meaning as the english word File. The existing translation is "ചിത്രം". Now we need to change that to "പ്രമാണം" which is the translation of the word "File". So, please change the current malayalam translation for the namespace "File" from ചിത്രം to "പ്രമാണം" . Also, keep the current namespace "ചിത്രം" as alias. hange "ചിത്രം" --> "പ്രമാണം" This change need to be done for all the Malayalam wiki projects.
Please do this at http://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?language=ml&module=namespace&title=Special%3AAdvancedTranslate. You can also localise magic words and special page aliases there (as well as the translation of interface messages, but you already knew that :P). Thanks.
:) Yes. I know. And we have already made that change in the translate wiki long before. But, still all our wikis are showing the old namespace. Foe example, see http://ml.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=namespaces We are looking for the permanent solution.
Wikimedia has not updated its software for over two months. SVN has already been updated 7 weeks ago[1]. See [2] for the current file, which does contain the change you are requesting here. Marking fixed.
