CentralNotice statuses

Hello Shahin.shn and thanks for helping to translate CentralNotice/Work at Wikimedia into fa/فارسی! However, it looks like you forgot to update the translation status template. If you forget to update the status, then we won't see your translation update and it won't get done. :-( Here are the statuses that you need to know:

• needs proofreading – when the message has been translated, but it needs proofreading by speakers of the language
• needs updating – we use this to tell the translators that the source translation was updated and now the translation needs to be updated too
• ready – you guys use this to tell us that the translation is ready to be published
• published – we use this to tell you that the translation has been published

If you update a translation after it was already published, please make sure to change the status back to "ready" again too.

I hope this helps and if you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Thanks again for your translation help and sorry for the confusion! Cbrown1023 talk 21:51, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Nothing's wrong anymore, I fixed it. You added a new translation but set the status to "published" (you put {{jobs translation status|fa|published}}), which means that the translation is already published and we will normally not look at it again. The translation you added was not published already, because you just translated it, so the status should've been "ready" ({{jobs translation status|fa|ready}}). It's no longer a problem because I saw it and published it anyway, but if you set the wrong status in the future, we might miss your translation and it won't get published. Does that make more sense? Sorry that my message was confusing the first time. Cbrown1023 talk 22:15, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
