User:TiagoLubiana/Beginners guide to translation

This is a introduction to using the templates for translation!

They are super cool, and the doc page has lots of information (Help:Extension:Translate/Page_translation_administration), but it has too much information.

This is a guide to get started with translations on Wiki projects.

The Extension:Translate is a tool to standardize wiki content accross languages. It can be used on wikiproject pages, documentation pages and so on.

Who can add translations?

Anyone can mark pages with translation tags, but they can only be really be made a translation-enabled page by administrators.

Adding tags

Text for translation is marked with ‎<translate> and ‎</translate> tags. These are added around the chunks of text that will be translated by translators.

There are a few rules about how to best use those tags, but generally, just keep the chunks of text between the tags small.
