Medžuviki:Prěvod interfejsa
Project "Prěvod interfejsa" focuses on interface translation to the Interslavic language. It concerns both the general MediaWiki messages translation and bigger things, such as namespaces and general terms.
You can discuss different aspects of translation on the project talk page.
Tasks
This is not a compulsory list, if you have time and willingness to do this, you are welcome either to edit sections or add your own. Please discuss them on the project talk page.
Most important messages
These are the messages that get requested by Wikimedia Language committee before creating a new Wikipedia. There are 762 of them overall. Per Language committee, "These are the messages that are of highest importance to our readers and users." Not all of them currently exist in Medžuviki (and those that do not get displayed as red links because of that) because we do not use all extensions that Wikipedia project typically has.
We need to translate all messages that are displayed as blue links and have "(něma)" beside them. Go here to view available work.
Namespaces translation
There is a technical possibility to translate namespaces names into Interslavic (using Miraheze configuration), so we should probably go ahead with this. Lev 20:34, 28 maj 2017 (UTC)

Specific issues
Numeral formatting
Was written in 2017, might no longer be true.
There are one thing that is heavily dependent on the language of the interface: formatnum. Right now if we type 987,654,321.654321, we get a number that is separated by commas and a dot, which is a system not being used in Slavic countries at large (only Croatia uses both systems apparently but it is disputed). We could write our own module for numerals formatting, but ideally we need a transfer to a language that
- has a comma-based system for decimal marks;
- is not used by a lot of people;
- has English as a fallback language (i. e. the language code is not in this picture)
I guess we could live if some messages were in the wrong language (English translations can be accessed anyway), but it is better to have less messages rather than more.

Plural formatting
Same goes for plural formatting. See Template:Plural, Module:Plural.
