一般指引

表達、行話與幽默: 在您翻譯的時候，您可能會遇到一些在原始語言中才會出現的表達方式，雙關語，或是行話甚至黑話，不知道該怎麼翻譯才對。; 在這種狀況下，您不需要逐字翻譯，只要試著將文章的觀念與重點表達出來即可。小心地瞭解整段訊息的意思，不必擔心失去原文中的幽默感或是口語用法。

適當的名稱: 公司名稱與產品名稱不太需要翻譯，通常最好保留英文，除非是在您的所在地也有大家耳熟能詳的名稱。; 人名也盡可能保留原文。

專業術語: 若是您翻譯一些技術名詞或是一些難以解釋的意義時，您可以參考這個翻譯分享站台：TAUS。; 只要將您要翻譯的文字輸入並選擇翻譯的來源與目標語言。當然不是所有的語詞都能翻譯成任意語言，不過相信這個工具能對您的精確翻譯有相當的幫助。

Titles of works: When you run across the title of a book, program, feature, distro, or other public work, check to see if that title has already been officially translated for your language (by the publisher or distributor), and if so, use that translation.; If you cannot find a translation for that particular title in your language, do your best to translate it as accurately as possible.

Units of measure: Convert units of measure to make them relevant for the intended language or region.

User interface terms: Translate user interface terms as appropriate for your language.

Guidelines specific to a Language

UserBase proposes to have Team Leaders for each language. Techbase may, at a later date, do the same. As we get leaders appointed, they will take charge of a page of guidelines for their specific language, where they will be named. They will have final say on any question relating to their language. The guidelines will be linked from Language-specific guideline pages.

Keeping up to date with development

I propose that the Discussion page attached to this page should be used for orderly debate about general issues noted, particularly issues where existing markup is causing problems. I would ask you to put a Watch on Talk:Translation_Workflow.

Getting a Better Understanding of the Process

Tip

Monitor the status of your language statistics by monitoring the page http://techbase.kde.org//your-language-code or simply Special:LanguageStats if you have your own language set as the interface language of TechBase.
