This might be better in a separate thread as Freek mentioned.
I'm still collecting mandatory pages, as published list on:
http://languages.opensuse.org/Help:Translation
is not complete.
List doesn't contain all pages, images, templates and categories that one
needs to start translation.
The plan is to create set of pages similar as that list, plus templates,
images, categories and upload/import on each of language wikis.
That way you as translator have to think only about your wiki, plus to add
interwiki links in English wiki to pages that are already translated. This we
will work on when you finish first page.
Pages will be named
LANG-English_title
where for Greek that will be EL-English_title and that will be just redirect
to actual page title in Greek. As there are pages that use sufix like Portal:
or SDB: adding language prefix LANG should be handled differently, and that is
main reason that I want to upload all pages modified for each language.
For me is problem categorization of pages, as I would like to have them
comparable to English wiki, but they don't allow redirects. So we will have to
create 2 sets of categories, one for pages that begin with LANG prefix and one
for translated. First set can be created and uploaded as other pages, second
will be up to translator to create them on the fly.
All above plans should not prevent you to start translation and ask questions
as they arise. I think that way you will translate and learn at the same time,
instead to go and learn a lot of translation and wiki stuff at once, then
translate.
You are first translators after long time that have to start from scratch, so
we will help you in translation, and you will help us to learn what issues we
have to put in help files for other translators and how to improve translation
process. I'm sure that it will be not easy for any of involved, but no hurry,
keep having a fun, and all will be good.
