FA/راهنما:ترجمه

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 {{DISPLAYTITLE:Page title}} 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 SV/Pagename/. See Help:Page naming

• 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 OpenOffice.org L10N community is working on a process and toolset for translating Wiki pages.

Translation steps

Translation steps There are (currently) no tools or mechanisms in place in the Wiki to assist with translations. The basic translation process is:

1. 1.Identify a page that is to be translated.
2. 2.Click Edit on that page.
3. 3.Select all Wiki text in that page and copy it.
4. 4.Cancel the edit.
5. 5.Start a new page with the right page name for the new translated article (see Help:Page naming).
6. 6.Paste in the copied original language text.
7. 7.Click Save Page to give yourself a start point.
8. 8.Translate the text on the newly created page.
