Help:Translations

Introduction
For numerous reasons we want to make this wiki available in as many languages as we can. For that, we are going to need the community's help to pull it off. Lots of people already said they wanted to help with translating but not everybody knows how MediaWiki or our translation system works. So here a small guide into translating.

The current progress of the translation can be viewed here.

Preparing Pages
Before anything translating can happen the page first needs to be prepared for translating. At the moment this is done by editors or administrators. If you have a specific page that you wanted to translate but that is not prepared, you can contact us on Discord and we will review the page.

Translating
If you have been assigned the group Translator you should be able to start translating right away. The easiest way to do this is to go to the Special:Translate page.

Sections
As you can see on the translation page every page is divided into sections. This helps to divide work between translators and help maintain context and consistency.

When clicking on a section you will see the original source text (in English) up top and you will be able to insert your translation on the box below it.

Editing
Translated pages are not directly editable. If you see a mistake in the text correct it on the original English page. If you see a mistake in translating you can edit them on the Special:Translate page under the tab 'Translated'.

For any questions you can use the talk page.
