View source for Help:How to translate the wiki

This page contains some information on how to translate the wiki to your own language.

==Translating pages==
1) Make sure your language is listed on the language template. To do this, visit [[Template:Language]] and edit the page. Add a line to the language list with this format:
 [[{{{'''pagename'''}}} ('''111''')|'''222''']] 
: Replace '''111''' with the language code, for example '''en''' would be for English.
: Replace '''222''' with the name of language, in the native language. For example, '''French''' should be '''Français''' in this instance.


:This should now make a red-link on all pages with the language template on it. Simply click on that link to create the page you need to translate.

:''NOTE: If the language template does not exist on the page you are editing, simply add it on that page by adding the following code to the top of the page:'''
  <nowiki>{{Language|pagename=333}}</nowiki>
: Replace '''333''' with the entire name of the page, for example: '''Help:How to translate the wiki'''
