User talk:Barak4u

Hi Barak -- I wondered if you could help me with a Hebrew request at http://requests.wikia.com/wiki/He.Beshutaf -- the user did not explain what he wants in English, and mechanical translation isn't helping much. Could you translate it for me, and let me know if it seems like a useful idea for a wiki? Thank you for your help! — Catherine (talk) 19:06, 27 December 2007 (UTC)


 * What Inbar wrote in the categories section was "קהילות, רשת חברתית, אתר בשותף", which means "Community, Social Networks, Collabrative site" .. The user Maticore wrote her back "Thank you for your'e request, but we'll need more information before we'll go ahead and approve the wiki. please fill in the request form and specifically point out your intentions for the wiki. and also please tell us the topics which the wiki would cover, and whom would promote the wiki. please tell us if there are any communities which would consider promoting the wiki."

 * Catherine, please tell me which machine transaltion you used to translate it from Hebrew to English (I've been searching for a long time for a good machine translation software which works with Hebrew). Barak4u 17:28, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

What does "Beshutaf" mean?

I couldn't really find any good machine translators either. Stars21 did the best; Lingvo is ok for individual words.

Manticore's text is our standard "need more information" template, which a previous user translated into Hebrew for us -- Manticore doesn't speak Hebrew either. :)

I really appreciate your help. As the number of Hebrew wikis grow here, I hope we will be able to add a staff member who speaks the language. Thanks! — Catherine (talk) 18:04, 28 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Beshutaf is a kind of a modern slang way to say collabritivly.
 * stars21 seems to be dependent on 1-800-translate site which is currently down.
 * The Heberw wiki farm at http://www.wiki.co.il/ is the most popular amongst the Hebrew wikis on the web today.. if your interface would be more Hebrew friendly I guess that might change. Barak4u 18:22, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
