User talk:Contraexemplo/Outreachy/Translation quick guide

Excessively technical terminology

I found some terminology which makes this page too hard for a user, a simplification could be in order.

• "Make sure your keyboard is properly mapped": no idea what this means.
• "user guides": unclear (although you define it later)
• "translation unit": the term is used but not defined
• "source text": not defined
• "translatable page": not defined
• "isn't properly set up": what does it mean?
• "a search tool in the Translate extension": very vague and impossible for the user to use; from the video it seems you mean the search bar within Special:Translate, but the special page is never mentioned nor linked

Consolidation

Thanks for working in this area. To avoid confusing users with a plethora of pages, do you think this page could be merged to some of the existing summaries? Based on the content and audience, it seems addressed to the English-speaking users of MediaWiki.org and Meta-Wiki, so it could go into one of the respective English-only summaries. The parts which are valid for any wiki and audience, and which can do without the English-only videos, could be merged to the translation tutorial or to the introductory help page.
