Access the page [[Special:PageTranslation]] to check which articles are marked for translations. Not all articles in the wiki are marked for translation, but if you want to translate a specific page that is not listed, request it in [[Nonbinary Wiki:Translations/requests]]. A translation admin will take a look at the request and probably accept it. | |||

However, avoid translating only part of a segment; treat them as inseparable units —you either translate it all, or you don't translate it at all. Remember that all translations need to be reviewed by another user before being displayed publicly, but as soon as it goes through a review, they will be published immediately. | ||

<big>'''How to review translations'''</big> | |||
The translation of a page will not be public until another user has reviewed it, but reviewing is a quick process (assuming that the translation is good) so don't worry! Before getting started, make sure that you have create an account and are logged-in, as only registered users can review translations. | |||
To get started, go to the page you want to review and click on the small ''Translate this page'' link, which will appear at the very top of the page content. You will access this interface: | |||
Click the ''Translated'' tab to see all segments of the page that have already been translated. | |||
