Some of them are translated (maybe just partially), some may be translated and some are not available for translation in translatewiki.net.

Unfortunately the criterion for those tags is exactly the same what we would need for this use case. -Niklas -- Niklas Laxström _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-i18n mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-i18n
