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 talk:Translations|the talk page]]. A translation admin will take a look at the request and probably accept it. | Access the page [[Special:PageTranslation]] to check which articles are marked for translations.

Choose the ''Untranslated'' tab (or the ''Outdated'' one if you want to update old translations).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. | Choose the ''Untranslated'' tab (or the ''Outdated'' one if you want to update old translations).

'''Careful with wikitext syntax.''' The translation interface uses the code editor, meaning that you are likely to see formatting tags. These include <nowiki>[[square brackets]]</nowiki> (internal links), <nowiki>''double''</nowiki> or <nowiki>'''triple'''</nowiki> apostrophes (italics and bold text), <nowiki><ref>references</ref></nowiki>, and others. As a general rule, you can translate italics and bold text, but not page titles in links —deleting the square brackets (and, consequently, the link itself) is better than directly translating the contents of a link. Look at the advanced section below for more details. | '''Careful with wikitext syntax.''' The translation interface uses the code editor, meaning that you are likely to see formatting tags.

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Editing a translation made by another user is not only quick and easy, but also encouraged! All of our editors are volunteers, and errors may happen; if you spot one, follow these instructions to correct it: | |||
# Access the translation interface, as explained in the main section of this page. | |||
# After making sure you have selected your language in the top right drop-down, click on the ''Translated'' tab. | |||
# Find the segment with the error and click it. | |||
# Make the changes you want, optionally add a summary with an explanation, and click ''Save translation''. | |||
# Your changes will be published immediately! | |||

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Using new tools can sometimes be confusing. You can look at already-translated articles, such as [[nonbinary]], to see how the translation interface looks when some segments are already translated. | |||
