'''How to Translate a Page''' | |||
* '''Create a new page.''' Use the same title, but with a language prefix at the start of the page. | |||
For example: | |||
* French: `fr:Contribute/Translate` | |||
* Japanese: `ja:Contribute/Translate` | |||
* Indonesian: `id:Contribute/Translate` | |||
See the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes list of ISO 639-1 language codes] that MediaWiki uses for language prefixes. | |||
* '''Add a notice at the top''' of the new translation page and link back to the original page. | |||
For example: | |||
<pre> | |||
<nowiki> | |||
This is a translation of [[Contribute/Translate]] from English to French. | |||
</nowiki> | |||
</pre> | |||
* '''Translate the page''' using clear, consistent terms. | |||
* '''Annotate if needed''' to reflect cultural or linguistic context. | |||
For instance, if a term carries a different meaning in your region, or your language shifts the concept in translation, feel free to '''add a footnote''', or include a '''short translator’s note''' to briefly explain the nuance. | |||
* '''At the bottom of the page''', add this tag to include it in the translation category: | |||
<pre> | |||
<nowiki> | |||

</nowiki> | |||
</pre> | |||
