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.
Where do I start?
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
Step 2
- Register on the wiki - this will give you editing rights to this wiki
- Register on the Project Management System - if you need help with this read this
- Send an email to Aimee / Project Manager to be added to the Translation Project
- 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.
Step 3
- Open the ticket / issue you would like to work on
- 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.
Start translating
- Now you have one or more pages that you are working on, open the first page you want to work on.
- Near the search bar top right there is a Flag icon.
- Click on it to find the language you want to work on.
- 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.
