Translate this?
Should this template be translated into all the different languages? I have a way to do it, but I should get permisison first. The Goblin!! 23:19, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
- This template should eventually be translated into all the languages that we support. I think it would be a good idea to post the translations on this talk page first, so we can best figure out how to implement them into the code, which is already quite complex. — It's dot com 23:30, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
- I was thinking to have different subpages of this template, and depending what the pagename is, eg. en or fr, then it would include the correct language. I'll make a prototype at my userspace. The Goblin!! 23:34, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
- Ummm. I do believe there has been discussion on this before. And I recall it lead to the creation of the international welcoming pages. If anything, I think we should wait at least until the welcoming project is rolling. --Sysrq868 23:40, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Two questions
I just noticed that the subtitles header still links to the old site url's (example since this subtitles page was just edited: interview.html instead of toons/the-interview). Can this be updated? By The Cheatbot, perhaps? Bigger concern: The local subtitles viewer doesn't have a Flash emulator, so the subtitles can't be viewed on this site. I trust that this is a known issue, but is there a way to fix this? The Knights Who Say Ni 21:24, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
- I'd love to get this back up and running, but considering how the subtitles script had to interact directly with the Flash file, I wouldn't get my hopes up on it being possible. I'd never say never, of course.
- Updating the toon links is actually relatively easy as far as edits go. It will take just two changes: updating the data and making the proper adjustments to the template. It would be a bit of work to make sure it's all looked up and formatted correctly but it could be done. Since this project is currently dead in the water, however, I wouldn't consider it a priority. — It's dot com 01:43, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
