Wiki Translations - A Guide

One way to keep our project as accessible as possible is to have our wiki information available in different languages.

Anyone can help translating our wiki pages.

Determine whether there are any translation tasks that you would like to do by checking the open tickets

Very important: The main pages are in English - the translations should ALWAYS be from English to a secondary language.

There are 3 types of tickets:

  • Translate - this means that no existing translation exists for the pages linked in the ticket
  • Check a translation - this means that there is already a completed translation that needs to be checked for accuracy
  • Update a translation - this means that there is already a translation but the main page has been updated since and therefore
  1. Register on the wiki - this will give you editing rights to this wiki
  2. Register on the Project Management System - if you need help with this read this
  3. Send an email to Aimee / Project Manager to be added to the Translation Project
  4. You will receive an email back with confirmation that you have been added as a team member (translator), if you want to help with the coordination of translations ask the project manager for a crash course on this and you'll be added as manager on this project.
  1. Open the ticket / issue you would like to work on
  2. Click on edit and add your name near the pages you will be working on, please only mark 2 at a time so that we don't have a bottle neck if there are other people also wanting to help. V. Important - Submit / Save the issue before you start translating this will ensure that we don't all work on the same pages and waste important time.
  1. Now you have one or more pages that you are working on, open the first page you want to work on.
  2. Near the search bar top right there is a Flag icon.
  3. Click on it to find the language you want to work on.
  4. If you have chosen a Translate task, which means no previous translation is existing a new page will load stating that the page you are trying to access does don't exist - this is normal and expected.
