The "[[WikiIslam:Instructions for Translators|Instructions for Translators]]" page provides an in-depth, step-by-step guide for new translators to follow at WikiIslam. it covers everything from creating an account to announcing a completed translation on the main page. If translators find any of the steps difficult to follow, they can leave a message on the Translation Project's [[WikiIslam:Discussions/Translation Project| | The "[[WikiIslam:Instructions for Translators|Instructions for Translators]]" page provides an in-depth, step-by-step guide for new translators to follow at WikiIslam. it covers everything from creating an account to announcing a completed translation on the main page. If translators find any of the steps difficult to follow, they can leave a message on the Translation Project's [[WikiIslam:Discussions/Translation Project|Discussions page]]. The following is a quick summary, but new editors should still read the full instructions before attempting their first translation: | ||
# Go to [[Help:Contents]]. Type the translated title of the chosen article into the "Create Page" box. If any of these characters exist in the title, avoid using them: brackets, commas, colons, semi-colons etc. These can be added into the title later by using <tt><nowiki>{{Page title|Desired page title}}</nowiki></tt> at the bottom of the page. | |||
# After clicking "Create page" you will see a blank page. | |||
# Open another window. Then go to the chosen article and click the 'Edit' button. You will now see the text and all the wiki-formatting of the target article. | |||
# Copy and paste the entire thing into the blank page you created. In Windows, Select all text and then CTRL-C; CTRL-V to paste. | |||
# Start the translation. Delete the English text as you go. You can also keep another window open which has the original article in a regular view (non-editable). You can save as often as needed and continue editing at any later time. | |||
# Final check: Add the language hub page, translation links template, add/remove the relevant categories (and everything else discussed [[WikiIslam:Instructions_for_Translators#Post-Translation|here]]), under the "See Also" section. To make sure your article is ready, briefly go through the new content. If possible, look at other translations to see if anything is missing. | |||
# Create the necessary links to and from the new translation. This includes a link in each and every version of the translated page (in their own languages), a link from the language hub page, and a link from the "Latest Translations" template so the new translation appears on the main page. | |||
# To find what you have been working on, click the 'My contributions' link at the top right. | |||
