Nonbinary Wiki ♥ languages The Nonbinary Wiki is mainly an English project, but we are very happy to provide translations of our articles in other languages. If you are capable to do so, join our translation team! This page will guide through the basics of translation and getting involved with the project.

How to translate

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.

To translate a page, click on the small Translate this page link that is displayed at the very top of the article content. This will take you to the translation interface:

[screenshot of general interface goes here]

Choose the Untranslated tab (or the Outdated one if you want to update old translations). Click on each segment and translate it to your chosen language in the text box! You can optionally add edit summaries to each translation in case you feel the need of clarifying a specific choice of words, but you don't need to. If a segment doesn't need translating, click on the Paste source text button —if you leave the box empty, it will display as incomplete.

Careful with wikitext syntax. The translation interface uses the code editor, meaning that you are likely to see formatting tags. These include [[square brackes]] (internal links), ''double'' or '''triple''' apostrophes (italics and bold text), <ref>references</ref>, and others. As a general rule, you can translate italics and bold text, but not page title in links. Look at the advanced section below for more details.

If you don't know the translation of a segment, you can skip! 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.

How to review translations

Delectus corrupti cum dolorum pariatur. Quos et optio dolorem exercitationem ea laudantium. Rerum veniam dolor ut in voluptatibus non. Molestias ipsum perferendis est fugiat corrupti voluptates. Alias velit sit quis

Information for translation admins

Illum aut aliquid voluptas non culpa velit. Necessitatibus unde ipsam veritatis accusantium. Et blanditiis nam illo quis omnis. Vero consequatur libero qui aut sint officiis repudiandae. Quia vel nihil placeat laborum voluptas rem ea. Cumque architecto consequuntur porro nesciunt.
