How to request a translation[edit source]
- If it doesn't exist yet, create the page you want to be translated here on Meta-Wiki.
- Follow the tutorial to prepare the page for translation (steps 1 and 2 of the tutorial).
- A translation administrator (or yourself if you're one) will see the page on Special:PageTranslation and mark it for translation (step 3 of the tutorial).
Best practices in short (read more)
- Make the source text as clear and understandable as possible. When a text is to be translated, clarity comes before conciseness.
- For texts used outside of Meta, it is recommended that you include an explanation' or a link showing the context of the original.
- Think about when you want the translation to be ready, and which languages it is most relevant to translate the given text into, and specify those on the page itself.
