The SETI post-detection wiki welcomes translation!
This wiki builds on community knowledge practices developed by Wikimedia, including the model outlined on Wikipedia:Translation.
In the spirit of Wikimedia and commons knowledge-sharing practices, you are encouraged to translate any page into your language. Please retain a note about the original source and link back to the original page. If your translation adds new insight or local context, please annotate and adapt (described below).
Translation Guide
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 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:
This is a translation of [[Contribute/Translate]] from English to French.
- 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:
[[Category:Translated Pages]]
