Korean on the official OpenTTD Wiki

[gimel3830]

Hey I'm a Korean guy living in the UK. It's my first post to write on this forum.

I'm not sure where to write this though i just wish that someone that's in charge of he official OpenTTD Wiki could see this.

I just wanted to ask if the OpenTTD Wiki (wiki.openttd.org not the TT-Wiki) could support more languages such as Korean and in case of Koreans, as we've got quite a big community going on over there in the other side of earth and it's just sad that the Koreans don't have the PROPER OpenTTD Wiki.
I mean there is a Korean language option in the game itself, and it is fully translated (thank to telk5093) so why can't we have itself on the wiki?
Not only that it would help the existing Korean players, we will have more players, in general, as some of them are not so good at English or any other Western languages that the wiki supports.
I know telk.kr is supporting a half-translted, half-newly-written version of the wiki in Korean though the website does not feature edit by a member like most of the wikis do

Please do share your thoughts here and hopefully they would let us have Korean in the wiki!

Our official OpenTTD wiki has translations into a number of languages. You are invited and more than welcome to add a Korean translation to our wiki as well.

I'm not quite sure how to understand you, though: Is it generally a problem or impossible to type Korean characters in our wiki? Or is it "just" that there are no Korean pages (yet)?

The usual pattern for those pages is e.g. for German on the lines of Seitenname/DE, thus Pagename/LanguageAbbreviation, where the language abbreviation for Korean would be KR. We used to have a wiki bot which updated the inter-language links as found by the assortments of flags, but that unfortunately got lost; but it's not really complicated to add the flag link on the English page to the Korean translation of it. The only problem might be with the main page which requires admin priviliges - but I shall happily help there if and where needed.

(As this forum supports more than just OpenTTD, I moved this topic to 'general OpenTTD' section)

Thanks for the quick answer and okay I should better get going translating.

Haven't yet tried to make any pages yet and it was just that there are no Korean pages yet. Hopefully it will display Korean characters and I'm sure of that because the wiki is made out of MediaWiki.

Okay I'll ask for help when it's done!

기멜님 안녕하세요~ (Hello Gimel~)

I translated 'Main_Page' into korean completely, http://wiki.openttd.org/%EB%8C%80%EB%AC%B8/Kr

BTW I have a question,
there is a navigation bar on the top which you can select the language in Main_Page such as EN, CA, CS and so on.

What should I do to display KR in there?
Should I translate more pages?

You edit that language bar and add a link to the Korean translation similar to how the other languages are linked.

Previously it was 'edit by admin' only, but we lifted that and allowed meanwhile that it is being edited by everyone who is registered with OpenTTD services

안녕하세요 텔크님! (Hello Telk!)

The translation is fantastic by the looks of it and thanks, Telk, for your hard work.

I think the abbreviation for the Korean language should be 'Ko' not 'Kr'.

What do you think?

[Alberth]

We try to follow international standards, like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2#KR

[FooBar]

For languages, it makes more sense to go by ISO 639.

[Alberth]

Fair enough

Thanks for your notes, but I think it seems not to support korean as I can see at http://wiki.openttd.org/Template:Other_languages
Does only I need to edit is {Other_languages} block?

Yes, it seems that the language template needs amendment in order to support a new language. In case of doubt: try It's a wiki and one can undo wrong edits easily and it has a preview option, too

For what it's worth, OpenTTD used ISO 639-1.

##isocode ko_KR

So, the correct language code is "ko". The country code only matters if the wiki really starts to distinguish different portugueses, ...
