Your request for a list of words that need "*Spanish:" in the Translations section... --Connel MacKenzie 08:05, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

comments on how we do translations would be welcome on Wiktionary talk:Translations (or on Beer parlour, but it tends to get swamped at times ;-) I see you've notice that 1:1 translations have serious limitations, we hope to improve this. Things like the list that Connel ginned up for you I can do too (differently, I read the XML dump directly in Python, but it still is as of the last dump, Dec 2 at the moment ;-). You note that we don't have big groups doing things like the 'pedia; individuals working on things of interest with a few others get lots done. Do you work on the es.wikt as well? Welcome!

Point

Saw your request for point in spanish. Do you still need translations? Bearingbreaker92 16:45, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

I do. Thank you for responding to my translation request :) Beobach972 17:31, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

RV to Jefe

Do you want my sources or something for putting that new defenition under jefe? I read it on this site that jefe means that. If you want me to translate it for you i can.

Bearingbreaker92 01:37, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I didn't mean any hostility or offense by reinstating "in a company, etc". What I would like to know, and the reason for the gloss template, is what kind of boss jefe refers to. Clearly it at least pertains to "a person in charge of a business or company," but "etc." isn't very clear. Is jefe also "a leader, the head of an organized group or team" and/or "the head of a political party in a given region or district"? As I'm not a Spanish speaker, please look at my change and correct it if needed. DAVilla 09:33, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Here im gonna give you a translation of these, tell me what you think.

1. m. y f. Persona que manda o dirige a otras, superior jerárquico

     el jefe de un departamento.

2. Cabeza o presidente de un partido, corporación, organismo, etc.

     el jefe de la oposición.

3. mil. categoría superior a la de capitán e inferior a la de general

     jefe militar.

4. col. Tratamiento informal que se da a una persona a la que no se conoce

     oiga, jefe, ¿me permite pasar?

1. Person that mandates or directs others, heirachical superiority.

    The head of a department (suppose it could also be boss or manager)

2. Head or president of a party, corporation, organization, etc.

   el (jefe) of the oposition.

3. Military ranking superior to Captain but inferior to General

    Maybe Colelel(sp?),  but I did some research and this word seems to be obsolete.

4. Roughly translated : an informal phrase that you say to someone you dont know

     Literally "Listen cheif/boss, you gonna let me pass/go?

Sorry it looks that ugly, it just ended up that way and i dont know why.

Bearingbreaker92 14:27, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Something like that would be great. The only problem is, where did you get the definitions from? They're not listed on es:jefe, so it would probably be a copyright violation to use them. But that's essentially what we should be going for.

(The formatting is a result of spaces at the beginning of the line.) DAVilla 17:07, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

I gave you a link where i found that, just a random dictionary on the net.

Bearingbreaker92 18:20, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh, the first link. Okay, like I said, something like that would be great. I've gone ahead and fleshed out the two definitions, and guessed at translations for the military one, although I'm not really keen on editing Spanish entries. There are probably too many synonyms on each line, but I wouldn't know which are more applicable. DAVilla 19:00, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

'Quality Articles'

I think first the community would need to be sold on the idea; or a model of the proposed systems operation would need to be demonstrated and discussed. Although I've toyed with the idea, I really don't think that personally I would have the time to help set up somehting like that on top of the other activities I'm involved in. Sorry, --EncycloPetey 03:44, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Spanish noun templates

So that you know, there are templates for Spanish nouns: {{es-noun-m}} and {{es-noun-f}}. Both templates assume the noun has a single gender and that the plural is formed by addition of -s. For nouns that form the plural with -es, you have to add a parameter of "|pl=plural form" inside the template. For nouns that function as both masculine and feminine, use the masculine template, and see its Talk page for instructions on how to make that information display. --EncycloPetey 04:55, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Other languages

Hey, sorry for being so nosy, but I saw your question concerning links to entries on other language Wiktionaries. Generally, people don't put these links up, as there is a bot, User:RobotGMwikt which goes through and does this automatically. If you like, you can certainly manually search other languages and put the links in yourself, but I don't know of any quick and easy way to do this. Most people just let the bot do it for them.

Good Articles

It's worth the attempt. Try it. --EncycloPetey 01:39, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

PS - I moved chili con carne and hockey sobre hielo to lower case titles.

Casita

As I said on someone's User Page later, it is used both with a capital letter and without one in the book I was quoting from. zigzig20s 09:55, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Profanity

I could not find anything on here relating to Wiktionary's policy on profane words. My Costa Rican friend enlightened me with a whole variety of words today, but they dont seem to be on here.

If you could inform me on this policy i would appreciate it.

Bearingbreaker92 23:14, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Wiktionary's policy is "all words in all languages", so words that are considered profane may be entered. However, we usually want to know that the word is attested. See Wiktionary's Criteria for Inclusion to see more about this. --EncycloPetey 15:14, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

ábrigo

Indeed. I suspect ábrigo is an obselete word, so I wouldn't expect most people to know it off-hand. CloudNine 13:32, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Turns out it means "desert wind". You learn something new every day :) CloudNine 13:38, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Tea Room

We generally discourage new discussion rooms becasus no single language (other than English) has a very large community of users here. It would also be difficult for new users to find the discussion room. Imagine if such a discussion page existed for each of the 389 languages we currently have here. --EncycloPetey 15:56, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Spanish

Yes, i am a native speaker of Catalan and Spanish but i don't want to register (i am no registered in my own language dictionaries, where i help when i can). I ll continue adding definitions and so on, if you wanna me to help, just leave a message in one of my Ips (now it seems it doesnt change so much )--62.175.87.83 09:37, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't understand what you mean. I add the meanings of the wrods so you (or other people) can write enries, I don't master English and I don't wanna put incorrect things --62.175.87.83 09:38, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Bearingbreaker92. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Bearingbreaker92~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
