Yeah, you're right. That area is password protected, but it is knowledge leakage...

Barbados Association of Non-Governmental Organisations (BANGO). We're an umbrella organization of all NGOs here in Barbados, who collectively work with and throughout the world.

I just type fast... And, yes, I know about the "Français" thing. It was a bad cut-and-paste into code. I'll fix it shortly.

Unlikely, since the page list is derived from empirical data collected by the system.

"By P-1 Factoring" is a sub-menu of "Cost per Factor Found".

My girlfriend is British; I'm Canadian.

Even after six years together there are still times we can't understand each other's use of some words....

Found that one ten minutes later completely by accident :P

Btw, as far as translating "The Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search", if you look at the Wikipedia page and then look at the translation hyperlinks on the left, in all languages the page is titled either "GIMPS" or "Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search" without being translated.

Also, one edit I should make: "Overall System Progress" should be "Progrès global du système"; I made my initial translation before seeing that sonojan (or somebody else) had chosen "global" over "total" (you'll just have to imagine those words with French accents even though they're spelled the same )

Heh, an organization of organizations... too bad we don't call if "Jovernment"

Sure. Any phrase which shouldn't be translated should simply have the English submitted as the translation.

And while the above may be true for languages which use Roman characters, what about those that don't? Set your language preference to Russian, for example, and see all the work that Batalov has done single-handedly! I have a tendency to trust that he knows what he's doing....

Not translated :P Your/his choice though, as ever.

Btw, I noticed someone made a typo in the French; it's minor enough that it slipped by me for half an hour before I caught it, but "diponibles" ("available") should be "disponibles"...

Yeah, I know. But I would argue that wikipedia.org is not necessarily the authority on translations...

Another case where the phrase is in Unicode, and thus can't be hand edited at the MySQL console.

It would be a much better use of my time to develop the editing functions rather than hand correct individual phases. As it is, I'm currently sitting in a meeting doing this rather than paying full attention to what's going on....

Class, meetings... equally ignorable
I look forward to the day of being able to fix the translations (In the meantime, I shall satisfy myself with everything I type being highlighted in red)

Great menu... but "French" really should be "Français"... :deadhorse: (Also what's with the Po in Po-Russki? Looking to Batalov for edification.)

Edit: I'm getting an Internal Server Error when I try and submit a translation. I guess I caught you while changing something Edit2: Now "Français" is fixed so I guess I know what you were changing
