Notes for translators:
The text displayed when timer reaches zero is specified in Module:Countdown. If you want to set the text for your language, please add an entry to the alreadyStarted
table in the beginning of the module, in a similar way to other already listed languages.
The labels like 2 minutes and 40 seconds are loaded from MediaWiki messages. If you don't see them translated, though, please ask an interface administrator or administrator to ensure that there exists a subpage of MediaWiki:lang for your language code.
