Sorry birdy im not verry active at the moment, i can see that Arne has done what you requested. Don't know if he told you what "I have a cat in my pants." translates to, but i would think: "Eg havi eina kettu í mínum buksum.". ℚuackor5. jan 2007 kl. 23:29 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, I understand that, thanks for Your answer :)
I just came here to look for the word "grammar" in Faroese.
"Innstillingar" if this is a good translation, it will appear on the upper right corner and stands for the preferences-link, which is in English right now.
I would also like to ask You kindly if You could grant wikt:User:RobotGMwikt bot status on fo.wiktionary. It is the interwikibot of m:User:GerardM which works very fine and can be trusted fully. [1]
Det har kommit en ny användare, Brúkari:Niceley (som verkar att vara färing till skillnad från en del av oss svenskar, danskar och tyskar...). Detta är förstås bara trevligt; men h*n skulle kanske behöva några goda råd. Jag vet inte exempelvis om de fraslistor h*n har lagt in i Føroyskt_mál och Norskt_mál hör hemma just där; och jag fick återställa artikeln Stóra Bretland. Jag har lagt in en {{vælkomin}} men inte sagt mycket mer, eftersom jag inte är så bra på färöiska och inte heller vet hur t. ex. fo:wikipedia och wictionary bäst samspelar.
I've tried to make some improvements in the Mošovce article as you suggested (especially removing the Danish words). Is it better now or could you maybe correct some other mistakes? Thank you very much :-), Peter, Slovakia 213.215.86.7729. des 2006 kl. 03:24 (UTC)[reply]
It's better, but i don't under stand it. You have written:
Mošovce (1380 fólk) er ein álvarsamure bygd á Centralslovakia við nógv gamale
sjóne, og slekt av ein víðagitin Slovakike yrksmann, Ján Kollár.
Which means:
Mošovce (1380 people) is a serious town on central Slovakia with much old
to see, and family of famous Slovak man, Ján Kollár.
Hihi, OK, it really doesn't make much sense :-) What I meant was:
Mošovce (1380 inhabitants) is an important village in central Slovakia with many historical monuments, and the birthplace of a famous Slovak poet, Ján Kollár.
Done, it would be nice if part of the Human rights article was in Chinese also, bellow is give an interesting summary. ℚuackor26. apr 2007 kl. 09:39 (UTC)[reply]
Human rights refers to universal rights of human beings regardless of jurisdiction or other factors, such as ethnicity, nationality, or religion.
Where it has been adopted, legislation commonly contains:
* security rights that prohibit crimes such as murder, massacre, torture and rape
* liberty rights that protect freedoms in areas such as belief and religion, association, assembling and movement
* political rights that protect the liberty to participate in politics by expressing themselves, protesting, participating in a republic
* due process rights that protect against abuses of the legal system such as imprisonment without trial, secret trials and excessive punishments
* equality rights that guarantee equal citizenship, equality before the law and nondiscrimination
* welfare rights (also known as economic rights) that require the provision of education and protections against severe poverty and starvation
* group rights that provide protection for groups against ethnic genocide and for the ownership by countries of their national territories and resources
Thankyou very much Quackor for the excellent translation help and effort!
I am very Grateful.
May Faroese Wikipedia prosper!
Here is the Traditional Chinese translation of the above English text (The Traditional Chinese script is used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia):
Thanks, that is great, could you also insert it into the chinese wikipedia, it's hard for me when i can see only a lot os "?" signs. All the best ℚuackor28. apr 2007 kl. 08:05 (UTC)[reply]

Jag har igen tittat litet på blandningen av färöiska och engelska. Det fanns bland annat några kategoriseringar i Category:Wikipedia help, som jag bytte ut mot Bólkur:Wikipediahjálp. Jag hoppas att detta är en tillräckligt god översättning.
Jag är mera tveksam till hur man bör översätta en:Category:Wikipedians by language. Jag har på försök skapat Bólkur:Brúkari eftir máli, och lagt in en underbalk; men jag vet inte om detta är god färöiska. Är "eftir" rätt preposition här, eller är t. d. "við" bättre? Jag vill inte göra mer åt denna balk, innan någon som kan färöiska har tittat på om detta är rätt.
Jag fann litet av problemen genom att titta på slutet av Serstakur:Categories. Där finns ännu t. d. Wikipedia FAQ, Wikipedia basic information, Wikipedia special effects templates och några olika "Wikipedians in...". (För övrigt vore väl Serstakur:Bólkar mer konsekvent?)

Eg eri nokk sambdur við tær. Greinirnar verða rótuttar og síggja ólidnar út.

I'm not so good at German but i think you are saying: "Hi, i don't speak very good Faroese, but thanks for the help with my article. I speak English to if something well." You are welcome, if you need any help you can write a question on this page or the village pump. ℚuackor2. sep 2007 kl. 20:41 (UTC)[reply]

The interwiki links are not broken on the book sources page. I reverted your edit. Try to click on ISBN 0-12-345678-9 and see where they take you. They're shaped like this on all languages. --LA212. sep 2007 kl. 21:59 (UTC)[reply]
I undid your edit again. I can see that ISBN is working and that is fine, but i can't see what that has to do with the interwiki links you are putting on Wikipedia:Bóka keldur. [[en:Special:Booksources/MAGICNUMBER]] creates a link to a special page in the English Wikipedia, that is not correct, a Wikipedia: article should not have a interwiki link to a Special: page. ℚuackor13. sep 2007 kl. 09:41 (UTC)[reply]
The ISBN link leads to a Special: page (Serstakur:Booksources&isbn=0123456789) which gets its contents from the Wikipedia:Bóka keldur page by substituting the actual ISBN for MAGICNUMBER. This includes the interwiki links on that page. If you click on an ISBN starting in 3 (such as ISBN 3-01-245678-9), which apparently is from Germany, you can then use these interwiki links to switch from the Faroese Special:Booksources page to the German Special:Booksources page, keeping the same ISBN. This sysem is in place in most languages of Wikipedia and it is very useful. --LA213. sep 2007 kl. 20:03 (UTC)[reply]
OK, you win :-), this is highly strange behaviour they have chosen. Normally you use the MediaWiki: domain for storing data which is included on a page, but in this case the have used the Wikipedia: domain. I found the equivalent English page Wikipedia:Book sources. Sorry for the trouble. ℚuackor13. sep 2007 kl. 21:53 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that it is weird. Perhaps <noinclude> and <includeonly> tags can be used, just like in templates? I haven't tried that. --LA214. sep 2007 kl. 04:28 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the dictionary link, I can maybe use it to evaluate my software. Especially as it includes the morphologiy for each word. Regarding the tags:
n = noun
nt = neuter
pl = plural
def = definite
dat = dative
For a full list of these, click on the "view the dictionary" link, which will load an xml file and the definitions are at the top. PS. Thanks for taking the time :) You can also try something longer like: "Øll menniskju eru fødd fræls og jøvn til virðingar og mannarættindi.

Eg sær at "Løgmaður" kallast en:Prime Minister of the Faroe Islands og Färöarnas statsminister í en:wikipedia og sv:wikipedia. Tað skuldi vera "forsætisráðharri", trúgvi eg; og tað vóru eldri løgmenn ikki, hóast løgmaðurin eftir 1948 kann kallast forsætisráðharri.
Løgmaður verður ikki kallavur forsætisráðharri á føroyskum, bert løgmaður, eg eri ikki vísur í hvat hann skal verða kallavur á øðrum málum men her er hvat enska orðabókin sigur:
løgmaður:
1. the Leader of the Faroese Government, the Faroese Prime Minister
2. (historical) Chief Justice and Chairman of the old Faroese Parliament (løgting)
løgting:
1. (political) the Faroese Parliament
2. (historical) the old Faroese court of law

It works like all the other wikipedias - on the frontpage you press Savn and a list of all old and months to come feature articles are listed. If there is no article for a month there is a default Example (Dømi) template used. If i see a example template on the frontpage i replace it with some old feature article as this is nicer than nothing. Everyone is welcome to replace example templates with a new feature articles.
