I have made Dutch my language of choice in my preference page on Wikipedia. If I click on the edit page of a wikipedia article, it says ‘Bezig met bewerken van ...’, this is a poor translation of ‘Editing page ...’. It really should be something like ‘... bewerken’.
Please provide an exact translation - not "something like" ... Current value is: 'editing' => 'Bezig met bewerken van $1'
Closed - please reopen when providing the translation.
I thought there was a team for doing the dutch translation, so I wanted to leave the choice to them, but if you think I can make the decision, then the translation should be: $1 bewerken So is there a l10n team? Can I join it?
I disagree with your assertion, Hendrik. The current translation is very accurate and in context.
Ok, I agree it is accurate and in context, but it is not a sentence one would normally utter and it is unnecessarily verbose. To me, it somehow feels like children’s talk. I think it is too simple/wordly a translation from the English original. (This is a typical phenomenon when translating from English, I notice.) That’s why I call it a *poor* translation, not a wrong translation.
On http://nl.wikipedia.org "Bezig met het bewerken van $1" is used what is similar to the current translation shipped out with MediaWiki. I will not chang the translation unless there is only one user asking for this change. You can reopen the bug when you reached a consensus on this.
