See https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Template:OrigLang and https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Template:Lang for more information.}} {{Note|For the general (not-translation specific) rules see [[Wiki Contribution Guidelines]].}} <section begin=translating /> Here are some general guidelines for translations: * If possible, follow the same structure as the original page. * If possible, do '''not''' translate the Wiki page names. Use the <tt><nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE:Page title}}</nowiki></tt> to localize the page name. Using the same page name makes it easier to identify translated pages and easier to automatically link from one page to another * Use a subpage naming structure that clearly indicates the language of the page. For example, the Swedish version of a page could use <tt>SV/Pagename/</tt>. See [[Help:Page naming]] {{Note|If possible, try to always use all-caps for the ISO language code.}} * Communicate with the L10N and NLC communities and let them know what you're doing. * If in doubt, ask. The Documentation, and NLC communities are here to help you. The {{AOo}} L10N community is working on a [[L10n_Wiki Process for Documentation|process and toolset for translating Wiki pages]]. === Translation steps === There are (currently) no tools or mechanisms in place in the Wiki to assist with translations. The basic translation process is: # Identify a page that is to be translated. # Click '''Edit''' on that page. # Select all Wiki text in that page and copy it. # '''Cancel''' the edit. # Start a new page with the right page name for the new translated article (see [[Help:Page naming]]). # Paste in the copied original language text. # Click '''Save Page''' to give yourself a start point. # Translate the text on the newly created page. <section end=translating /> [[Category:Help]][[Category:Wiki Maintenance]][[Category:Guidelines]] [[nl:NL/Help:Translating]] [[ru:RU/rules/translating]] [[pt-br:PT/Help:Translating]] [[es:ES/Help:Translating]]
