Iron Chest Upgrades
Requesting that the Iron Chests Chest upgrades be translatable so I can complete translating the mod to Spanish (Apart from shulker boxes but who really cares about them). Intipablo (talk) 13:29, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Shulker boxes should totally be documented. ! Anyway, I will mark them up soon (TM). -Xbony2 (talk) 22:08, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Upgrades are translatable now, although shulker stuff doesn't exist yet. -Xbony2 (talk) 11:25, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I think the template could also be translated. What did you mean? --Sven79HD (talk) 17:52, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * What templates? -Xbony2 (talk) 21:23, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I mean this Template --> Template:Navbox_Category_Item_Storage --Sven79HD (talk) 08:22, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Ehhh... to be honest I don't think that should even be a template. I prefer lists and categories over navboxes. -Xbony2 (talk) 13:28, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

Ztones Navbox
Requesting that Module:Navbox/Ztones be fully marked up for translation. Right now, quite a few of the items and a few blocks aren't translatable and I'm scared I'll stuff up the navbox again lol. Intipablo (talk) 05:20, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
 * It is fully marked up for translation. It's just that the tiles aren't translated, which the navbox draws from. Will use your language file to translate stuff, though. -Xbony2 (talk) 18:10, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
 * oh wait, you didn't translate Ztones, you translated PA. You should translate Ztones. -Xbony2 (talk) 18:13, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Broken German translation
If someone could fix the German translation for Getting Started (ComputerCraft) that would be great. It's broken. --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 19:38, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Manual Tilesheet Translation
Is there a way to change the automatic translations of the tilesheets? I have just translated the Extra-Utilies Drum into German and see that the little picture is not "Fass" as it should be called, but "Trommel". Correctly it should be called "Fass".
 * There is, yeah, through the Special:TileList. You can't do this without Editor permission though, which I can nominate you for. You should join the Discord btw, we kinda use it a lot more for discussion than here (noticeboards are much better for longer discussions though). -Xbony2 (talk) 18:58, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Deletion of language-translations that have extremely little translation progress
Yeah, see title. If languages have very low progress in translation, it can be confusing for readers. For example:
 * [this] (last translation ca. 0.5 years ago)
 * [this] (last translation ca. 5 years ago)
 * [this] (last translation ca. 6 years ago)
 * [this] (last translation ca. 7 years ago)
 * [this] (last translation ca. 1 year ago)
 * [this] (?)
 * [this] (?)

So, i see no reason to keep translations into that languages. And, by the way, I suggest that you delete pages with 0 or 14% progress in the translation (if nothing happens over weeks/months) (for example [here]. If you come from  you may cant understand anything)

What do you think about that? Qwertxquartx (talk) 23:10, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Nah I don't wanna delete anything, since I don't really have an issue with incomplete pages (you can see that they may be incomplete in the language bar with the little colors). It's also because I distrust deleting pages with Extension:Translate which has been known to be buggy. -Xbony2 (talk) 17:28, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Redirect-pages translated item/blockname > Block/Language
And another Idea: Ok, this would be much to do (especionally do it active), but may helpful (i think). The Idea: For Example, create a redirect page from Massenfertiger to Mass Fabricator/de or from Steinbruch to Quarry/de. That would be particularly practical if someone reads the (german) name ingame and then wants to know more here, and e.g. types So what do you think about such redirects?

 * Example:  (<-working) Qwertxquartx (talk) 20:13, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
 * This is something that has been discussed before actually. My issue with it is that I don't know how much it will necessarily be used for the amount of work it requires. so I dunno. I'm not deadset against it though. -Xbony2 (talk) 17:31, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks for the answers! Qwertxquartx (talk) 02:46, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
