The namespaces Page and Index are localised, they will be available next Wednesday (20:00-22:00 UTC) when it will be deployed. I added the translation of the talk namespace after observing it is always the same pattern: adding "_பேச்சு" at the end; if I’m wrong, please tell what is the right translation.

For "nstab-page" and "nstab-index", they will appear soon on Translatewiki, where you will be able to translate them.

For the "Author" namespace, I don’t know how to do, there are already pages beginning with "ஆசிரியர்:" and I think they will become unaccessible because of internal MediaWiki mechanism, isn’t it?

Help wanted! How to properly translate a namespace when there are existing pages with the future namespace prefix?

Ok, I tested and, given the pages beginning with "ஆசிரியர்:" are in the main namespace (0) they will disapeared if this namespace is introduced. It seems the maintenance script namespaceDupes.php can do the job to transfer the pages to the right namespace. So probably this should be synchronised with the operations team.

There are two requests: one to localize the ProofreadPage namespaces, one for a custom Author: namespace not handled by Proofreadpage. The first onehas been resolved by @Seb35, the second one will be handled at T165813.
