If links with anchor makes through "Special:MyLanguage", such as Special:MyLanguage/Communication#Landing, requires that anchor was unchangeable in all languages. I've added fixed anchor in the Communication/ru, but this should be considered when migration to new translating system.

You're right. Usually, when the target page is translatable, we place some additional untranslatable anchors for the purpose of linking. We should probably migrate Communication to Translate, do you volunteer for the migration? ;)

Why not? This may be useful experience.

Nice! Reading the tutorial should probably be enough; when you have some free time, if you prepare the page for translation I can then mark ("approve") it and then you can import the old translations where possible. (For the following times a bureaucrat should definitely give you translation admin flag.) Let me know,

Please check my chsnges.

Current issues:

1. link to template {{MediaWiki Introduction}} (how to mark subpage as optional element ?)
2. link to template {{Irc}} (keeping as is)
3. how to make a localized categories? (I recently saw somewhere a template for this, but I can not find now)
4. need remove old language section at the bottom (saved until the migration)
5. how to import the old translations in semi-automatic mode?

Whoops, already approved. :-)

1. That's the correct way, translator can leave "en" if template doesn't exist in that language (better to document at /qqq for that unit). Template:Translatable navigation template attempts some magic.
2. Ok.
3. There's a template on translatewiki: and one on wm2012:, I don't remember here.
4. Removed now.
5. There's no way I'm afraid, for individual pages... Maybe we could figure out some semi-automated way to mark and import pages with a pattern (I proposed configuration pages). Now it's some manual work. I'm also unsure if the links to identi.ca etc. have something translatable; if translations didn't alter names, they can be removed from translation and made static I guess.

Edit: note that FuzzyBot is supposed to pass and update the subpages (i.e. override with the English version until translation are re-added) but there's currently some problem with the job queue so it didn't yet; translation works, though.

About links to identi.ca etc. - i agree, this should be untranslatable section. How to exclude it correctly?

I've just removed it from translation tags. I don't know if this gives problems on right-to-left languages, maybe some directionality fix will be needed there. Are you also importing the old translations?

Translating status:

• all from old translations imported (partially, what was here)
• full done: cs, da, en, es, fr, pl, ru
• in progress after importing: de, fi, ja, oc

Maybe you also do finish one translation, e.g. /it?
