| − | = Translation into other Languages =
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It is possible to translate articles into other languages. The reference language should be the english version.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Step 1: Language Abbreviations ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | As an example let us assume you want to translate the following page to german:
| |
| − | * [[Development/Tutorials]]
| |
| − | The language abbreviation for german is '''de''', thus, all articles will have the ending " (de)" (with a leading space).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Reference: [http://www.opticentre.net/FAQ/Languages/List-of-language-abbreviations/ list of language abbreviations].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Step 2: Create the Article ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Sometimes a link in the language navigation bar already exists. In that case, simply click on the link you want to translate. If no, create the article manually:
| |
| − | * [[Development/Tutorials (de)]]
| |
| − | As initial content simply use the content of the corresponding english page.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Step 3: Language Navigation Bar ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The article must contain the following template line in order to show the language navigation bar:
| |
| − | * <nowiki>{{Template:I18n/Language Navigation Bar|Development/Tutorials}}</nowiki>
| |
| − | This magic line expands to the language navigation bar for the article <tt>Development/Tutorials</tt>.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Step 4: Language Missing? ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If the language is missing, please search for the right abbreviation (see Step 1). In the example above this abbreviation is " (de)".
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Edit [[Template:I18n/Language Navigation Bar]] and add a line for the language you want to translate:
| |
| − | <nowiki><span lang="de">[[{{{1}}}_(de)|Deutsch]]</span></nowiki>
| |
| − | Replace 'de' by the language abbreviation and adapt the visible name.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Important Notes ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | As the wiki uses [[Help:Wiki Structure|subpages]] it is likely that translators run into the following issue.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Assume the following pages exist:
| |
| − | 1. Development/Tutorials
| |
| − | 2. Development/Tutorials/Debugging
| |
| − | Further assume you want to translate (1) to german (postfix ''de'').
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The final page will be
| |
| − | 3. Development/Tutorials_(de)
| |
| − | The english content of (2) uses relative wiki links like <tt>/Debugging</tt>. Translating ''Debugging'' in (3) might result in
| |
| − | Development/Tutorials_(de)/Debugging # or
| |
| − | Development/Tutorials_(de)/Debugging_(de)
| |
| − | '''This is wrong.'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The '''right link''' is supposed to be
| |
| − | Development/Tutorials/Debugging_(de)
| |
| − | So be sure you adapt the links in the article to use absolute paths everywhere (i.e. no leading slash '/' in the wiki links).
