Choose the ''Untranslated'' tab (or the ''Outdated'' one if you want to update old translations).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 | Choose the ''Untranslated'' tab (or the ''Outdated'' one if you want to update old translations).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