[ለማስተካከል] Amharic namespaces

Hello. I don't know where to discuss these things (let me know if you do), so I brought them to the community.

Is it possible to have the namespaces in Amahric? Like ዊኪፔዲያ:የዊኪ ማህበረሰብ, ተጠቃሚ:Abdissa Aga or የተጠቃሚ_ውይይት:Abdissa Aga?
If yes, to reduce broken links, and also to help in the case someone is unable to write in Amahric, is it possible to keep the old ones? i.e. as a kind of an alias; User:Abdissa Aga will take to ተጠቃሚ:Abdissa Aga
"user talk" is translated as ወሬ. Does ጭውውት or ውይይት sound better for you, too? Though talk is ወሬ in Amharic, I don't think they make the same impression in this case. e.g. How will you say "I'll talk to the boss/admin" in Amharic? Also, other wikipedias like the German one are using the same term for both user talk pages and page discussions.

P.S. Amharic doesn't work on the searchbox when I use IE. What am I doing wrong?

P.P.S. It would be nice to also add a visual way of de/activating the Amahric input on talk pages.

Hi!

I have been looking into how to change the namespaces. From what I can read on Meta, it involves changing a file called 'Localsettings.php'... The problem is that I cannot locate this file in order to change it. The people at Meta assume that everyone knows where to find this page, and I can't seem to get any answer. The instructions are at m:LocalSettings.php, if they make sense to you, let me know! Failing that, we may have to request a developer to change the namespaces for us.
As for ወሬ / ውይይት, I can change የኔ ወሬ to read የኔ ውይይት or የኔ ጭውውት if you like... At least that one is easy!
As for IE, I have noticed some strange things myself... On one of my computers, I have both IE and Firefox; the switch box ('write in amharic') is enabled in Firefox, but not IE. So I figured that it only works with Firefox and not IE. But on my other computer, I have IE, and the switch box does appear. I can't figure out what the difference is, because both computers are on Windows ME and the same version of IE. So all I can say is that it seems to work with some IE's and not others, but don't know what the required setting is... ፈቃደ (ውይይት) 22:56, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

'LocalSettings.php' ለማግኘት በ'web server' ላይ መፈለግ ያስፈልጋል መሰለኝ... እኔ ግን web server የለኝማ... ስለዚህ ይህ ለውጥ የሚደረግ በ developer ግዴታ መሆኑ ይመስላል...
