[Translators-l] UI text translation

[Aphaia]

Since I realized the update hasn't been taken down globally yet, to
wikitech-l I mailed for asking developer's fafor.

I am not sure what will happen in every detail. It might mean your
local update will be overriden automatically and misfortunately. Or
not. I beg your pardon, my lack of tech knowledge enough inform you
what is expected. However I suppose a message in another language
might be better than a message in your language but outdated. I might
be wrong. Hopefully not - sorry for your all inconvinience.

I made Japanese versions on meta. If you prefer to work on wiki and
later move them to your project, please use meta page as your
platform.

Exactly.
In case of Chinese Wikipedia, please follow the procedure on the below
0. You may want to give a look to meta or give my previous post.
0.5 ... and want to make a translation somewhere, not directly (but of
course you can be bold to edit directly those pages and the boldness
is encouraged here on Wikimedia project ;p )
1.  Edit [[MediaWiki:boardvote_notqualified]]
http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:boardvote_notqualified
You may want to optimize the message (I added "Sorry" for Japanese
people. Since they prefer such politeness, for instance)
2. Save ;)
3. Edit [[MediaWiki:boardvote_notloggedin]]
http:zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:boardvote_notloggedin
4. Save again ;)
5. Your work for updating is done. Thank you!

In a similar way, admins may update those files on their wikis.
Thank you for your cooperations!
