The translation of the actual article may be finished by this stage, but there are several steps left before the page is ready to be viewed by the public. If this is the first article in a specific language, then the biggest task left is the creation of the various [[:Category:Language Templates|language templates]] that are used within all translations. | The translation of the actual article may be finished by this stage, but there are several steps left before the page is ready to be viewed by the public. If this is the first article in a specific language, then the biggest task left is the creation of the various [[:Category:Language Templates|language templates]] that are used within all translations. A look at the lower sections of the English article, "[[72_Virgins#See_Also|72 Virgins]]", and its Italian translation, "[[Le_72_vergini#Vedi_anche|Le 72 vergini]]", may be of use in order to better understand the following sections. | ||
=====Hub Pages for Specific Languages===== | =====Hub Pages for Specific Languages===== | ||
Each language has its very own hub page, e.g., French has "[[Les_articles_en_francais_-_Articles_in_French|Les articles en français (Articles in French)]]," and Turkish has "[[Turkce_Makaleler_-_Articles_in_Turkish|Türkçe Makaleler (Articles in Turkish)]]". This hub page is linked from the side-bar on the left (when there are two or more completed articles) and is the first link to be found under the "See Also" link on translated articles. So a hub page that translates the text within these other hub pages and retains their formatting must be created by the translator in the language of the new translation. | Each language has its very own hub page, e.g., French has "[[Les_articles_en_francais_-_Articles_in_French|Les articles en français (Articles in French)]]," and Turkish has "[[Turkce_Makaleler_-_Articles_in_Turkish|Türkçe Makaleler (Articles in Turkish)]]". This hub page is linked from the side-bar on the left (when there are two or more completed articles) and is the first link to be found under the "See Also" link on translated articles. So a hub page that translates the text within these other hub pages (minus the linked articles) and retains their formatting must be created by the translator in the language of the new translation. | ||
Underneath this hub page link (press "Enter" twice on the keyboard to leave a single empty space), there should be the bolded text reading, "'''English'''". Obviously this must be rendered in the translation's language i.e. if it is an Azerbaijani translation, it should read, "'''İngilis'''". Underneath this title should be all of the original links found under the English article's "See Also" section. Again, pressing "Enter" twice on the keyboard to leave a single empty space, this is where the main "Translation-links" template is found. | Underneath this hub page link (press "Enter" twice on the keyboard to leave a single empty space), there should be the bolded text reading, "'''English'''".

===== Creating the "Translation Links" Template===== | ===== Creating the "Translation Links" Template===== | ||
[[Template:Translation-links-english|Translation-links]] | Every translation, and English-language article that has its own translation, should also have a "Translation-links" template in its "See Also" section, beneath all other "See Also" links. Therefore, all of the text within the English "[[Template:Translation-links-english|Translation-links]]" template must be translated into language of the new translation, and, retaining all of the original formatting, a new "Translation-links" template must be created. | ||
For example, if an English article is being translated into the Bulgarian language, its corresponding "Translation-links" template would be titled, "[[Template:Translation-links-bulgarian]]" (note the English spelling used only for the titles of these templates). Of course, the English article would have to be given the already existing English version of the "[[Template:Translation-links-english|Translation-links]]" template, not the new Bulgarian version. | |||
