| Welcome to Craftpedia’s translation guide! 🌍
| | This page now lives on the main Craftpedia portal: |
| This page explains how to translate existing articles into different languages using the built-in Translate extension. | |
|
| |
|
| == Step 1: Is the Page Ready for Translation? ==
| | → [https://craftpedia.wiki/index.php/How_to_Translate_an_Article How to Translate an Article] |
|
| |
|
| Before you begin, check if the article is already marked for translation.
| | Please update your bookmarks. |
| | |
| * If you see the link '''"Translate this page"''' at the top, you’re good to go!
| |
| * If not, the page needs to be prepared first. You can:
| |
| ** Leave a message on the article’s '''Talk''' page, or
| |
| ** Contact a [[Craftpedia:Administrator|site administrator]] and request translation support.
| |
| | |
| Only pages prepared with <code><translate></code> tags can be translated.
| |
| | |
| ----
| |
| | |
| == Step 2: Start Translating ==
| |
| | |
| # Click '''Translate this page''' (top of the article).
| |
| # Choose your target language from the language menu.
| |
| # Translate each text block shown in the interface.
| |
| # Click '''Save''' after each segment.
| |
| | |
| <small>🔹 You don’t have to finish everything at once — translations can be completed gradually.</small>
| |
| | |
| ----
| |
| | |
| == Step 3: Review & Proofread ==
| |
| | |
| * Double-check your grammar, spelling, and sentence flow.
| |
| * Stay true to the meaning of the original content.
| |
| * Leave template codes, references, and category tags untouched (e.g., <code>{{Infobox}}</code>, <code><ref></code>, <code>[[Category:]]</code>).
| |
| * Avoid literal or automatic translations — natural, cultural adaptation is preferred.
| |
| | |
| ----
| |
| | |
| == Step 4: View the Translation ==
| |
| | |
| Once saved, your translated version becomes live at:
| |
| | |
| <code>https://[subdomain].craftpedia.wiki/index.php/Page_Title/langcode</code>
| |
| ''(For example: https://asia.craftpedia.wiki/index.php/Bizen_Ware/de)''
| |
| | |
| Language links will also appear at the top of the original article, allowing users to switch easily.
| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| == Frequently Asked Questions ==
| |
| | |
| '''❓ I don’t see “Translate this page”'''
| |
| → The article hasn't been prepared yet. Request it on the Talk page or ask an admin.
| |
| | |
| '''❓ Why are only parts of the text shown for translation?'''
| |
| → Only content within <code><translate></code> tags is translatable. Other parts remain static.
| |
| | |
| '''❓ The translated page doesn’t show up'''
| |
| → The translation might still be processing. Wait a few minutes or ask an admin to run the update script (if urgent).
