Forum:How to change the name of things on menu and the names of special pages

Hey, I'm looking after (mainly) two wikis in Anglo-Saxon. Unfortunately, the language is not well translated on this system. How do I edit the names of things like special pages, etc, so that they are in Anglo-Saxon? Perhaps I should be seeking "special help"? Gott wisst  Gott Wisst's talkpage 04:32, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Switch to Anglo-Saxon as the preferred MediaWiki language in your prefs, and use Special:AllMessages to translate what you want. Also contributing to official MediaWiki translations means better support in Wikia updates. --Zapwire (talk/blog/edits) 11:29, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * I see, thanks. I, then, go to translatewiki.net to contribute? It seems I can't directly affect that list; or, if I can, how? Gott wisst  Gott Wisst's talkpage 23:47, January 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * People are always encouraged to help the translate wiki but that wont have any direct impact on a Wikia wiki. The translations at the translate wiki need to be revised and accepted then submitted as an update to the mediawiki software then a new version of that software has to be released then Wikia need to test the new version before deploying it here.
 * The Special:Allmessages is the fastest way to change things in the UI of a wiki. And this is the only way when we want make some changes that might not get accepted on the translate wiki. — TulipVorlax 00:04, January 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, thank you. But how do I actually edit the special pages? Gott wisst  Gott Wisst's talkpage 01:55, January 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Open Special:AllMessages on your wiki, and translate. Anywhere that text appears will be updated when you edit it. --Zapwire (talk/blog/edits) 11:01, January 22, 2010 (UTC)
