CCWiki:Translate

This is a multilingual wiki; content can be translated into multiple languages regardless of original language.

Translating

Follow these steps to translate an article. For the purposes of illustration, the article is called Example Content and we will translate the article to Spanish.

• Create a new article called Es:Contenido del Ejemplo. The contents should be a translation of Example Content. Note that the page name is made up of the language code and the translated title, separated by a colon (:). See Naming Translated Pages below for additional details
• To Es:Contenido del Ejemplo add:

  {{Translated From|
    source=Example Content
  }}

• To Example Content add:

  {{Translations|
    articles=Es:Contenido del Ejemplo
  }}

A box appears in each article listing the languages the article is available in. If an article is available more than two languages, separate the translated article names with commas in the Translations template.

Eventually you'll be able to search for articles only in language(s) you specify.

Naming Translated Pages

When naming the translated page the page should be prefixed with an identifier for the language you're translating to. In the example above we were translating to Arabic. The ISO-639-1 code for Arabic is ar. So the translated article name is prefixed by Ar:

If the language you are translating to has different forms or vocabulary in different countries, you can also use the country code. For example, the "translation" of Example Content to Arabic as spoken in the Saudi Arabia would be on the page Ar-SA:Example Content.
