-You have decided you want to help translate articles for us in another language. This page will tell you all the steps you need to know and solutions to issues you may face.
+This page aims to provide step-by-step instructions for new [[WikiIslam:Translations|translators]] at [[WikiIslam]]; from creating an account to adding a finished translation to the main page.
+Translations should always remain faithful to the original English work, retaining their scholarly tone and information. If for localization purposes an editor thinks there should be some slight alterations made, they must first be discussed with others on the talk page.
-The most important thing to keep in mind is to keep the translation as close to the English version as possible. This will ensure that our [[WikiIslam:Policies_and_Guidelines#Acceptable_Contributions|guidelines]] (in specificifically, number 6) are followed.
-Once you translate one article, others will become very easy because you will know what to do.
