I am requesting translation adminship to help translate content between English and Persian. As an active member of the Iranian Wikimedians User Group, I need this access to keep our pages updated in both languages. Currently, asking other admins to mark pages for translation takes considerable time, and having this access would allow me to manage translations more efficiently. --Darafsh (talk) 17:33, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Support trusted user - sounds good to me! Ternera (talk) 21:41, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- please prepare a page for translation following Meta:Internationalization guidelines as required per Meta:Translation administrators to demonstrate your practical experience with the translation syntax in your request for translation adminship. --Johannnes89 (talk) 05:04, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

- @Darafsh thanks for preparing the page! Please read the linked guidelines again and adjust the page:
- Don't set translation units (
<!--T:1-->
) manually, that's what translation admins do using Special:PageTranslation. What you need to do instead is setting<translate>
tags at the appropriate places, they will be responsible for later automatically creating translation units. - Please pay special attention to links and other special elements that need translation variables, so that the link itself doesn't show up when users are translating the page (instead they usually see something like
$1
)

- @SHB2000 Hi, I was looking for an opportunity to create a relevant page. Darafsh (talk) 11:38, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose There is nearly everything wrong with the markup of the prepared page --Ameisenigel (talk) 08:17, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- Note: I don't think there is any consensus on this request at the moment, so I will wait a few days to see if there are any positive comments before making a decision(because Darafsh responded on 31 Aug). --Sotiale (talk) 02:19, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Neutral, User is trusted, but is not familiar with the translation markup. The only concern I have is that you do not add the
<languages/>
tag, placed on the top of the pages. Learn how to prep translations correctly and keep it up. ToadetteEdit (talk) 12:32, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
