Hi, everyone. Yesterday, we had a meetup here in Manila, and I discussed with
two Tagalog Wikipedia editors (including a fellow bureaucrat) about the
creation of a new interface language for Tagalog in a bid to resolve
long-standing differences over how the interface should be translated. We
agreed on a compromise solution, where we would accommodate Taglish
(code-switched Tagalog and English) as a new interface language called "Tagalog
(informal)" for the Tagalog-language projects, similar to how there is an
interface language for formal German (de-formal).
We decided that this new interface language will become the default interface
language for all anonymous and new users on the Tagalog Wikipedia, in order to
attract new editors who may be confused by the formal language used for the
current Tagalog interface. The current interface will be opt-in for those who
want to use the interface as it currently is, and users will have the ability
to select their preferred language using the Universal Language Selector which
will only have Tagalog, Tagalog (informal) and English as the options. All
other languages may still be selected through the preferences.
If this is possible to do, I'd love to see this come to fruition, and I hope to
hear from all of you soon. Thanks! :)
