Translating the Most used MediaWiki messages: Success stories and improvements

Abstract

One of the conditions to create the first Wikimedia wiki in a new language is 100% translation of the "Most important" MediaWiki messages (also known as "Most used"). Some language communities struggle to complete this condition, but some succeed. This presentation will show: 

• Why is this translation important in the first place.
• Recent completions of the Most important messages the Dagbani, Tyap, and some other languages: What different things did the translators do to achieve this.
• What has been done recently to make completing this task easier for everyone.
• What big new things can and should be done in the future to make it even more convenient and relevant.
