Translating pages

Hey, welcome to the wiki, and thanks for helping with the translation projects!

Translating pages is relatively easy- just find a page and convert it from English to Turkish. Pages that have been translated are kept as subpages of the originals, marked by your two-character language code- for example, Furniture would be kept at Furniture/tr, using tr as the code for Turkish. This allows the wiki software to index translation in the "In Other Languages" sidebar on the main page.

Newly translated pages also use the existing English-named images. This may require the creation of new templates, which would follow the same rules: {{item infobox}} would be found at {{item infobox/tr}}. This template already allows you to specify an image name separate from the page title, allowing you to use English images while displaying the proper Turkish name, so all you'd have to do is translate the displayed text (and, optionally, the documentation).

That's really all there is to worry about, though- other than that it's relatively easy. If you have any questions or need help with technical stuff, feel free to ask me or any of the other administrators for assistance. Gearzein (talk) 16:26, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
