Confusions
I'm one of the Chinese version's translators who contributed 9 years ago. Today I come back and am glad to see many language versions, including the Chinese version I edited, are complete, but I have a lot of confusions:
- Is the English version of the "Terms of use" on Meta-Wiki exactly the same as the one on Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki (i.e. foundation.wikimedia.org)? Are they intended to be the same? Why do both exist?
- It seems Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki is a private wiki for WMF staff and coordinators. Therefore, anyone who want to translate the Terms of use or edit the English or other language versions, will need to do it on Meta-Wiki, right?
- At what point should a new, complete (or a previously synchronized but later slightly edited) language version be accepted and synchronized to the Governance Wiki? You can see the Chinese, Portuguese, Korean, Turkish and many other language versions are marked as complete but are not listed in the "Terms of Use" on the Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki.
- (Questions related to Chinese translation) Simplified Chinese (zh-hans) and Traditional Chinese (zh-hant) translations are disabled and users are asked to translate it in the Chinese version (zh). So I guess the Chinese (zh) translation will be automatically converted to Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese, just like what Chinese Wikipedia does, right? However, Terms_of_use/zh and Terms_of_use/zh-hant are complete but Terms_of_use/zh-hans has many untranslated paragraphs, what's going on? If Terms_of_use/zh is well-translated and the Simplified-Traditional conversion works very well, then we should probably delete the unused Terms_of_use/zh-hant and Terms_of_use/zh-hans.
- Where can we translate/edit the human-readable summary?
