=== Other ways to help with translations ===

We can see it as a grid: some are interested in lines (one language), some in rows (some domain), some in cells (a specific page for a specific language):
* Some will want to be part of the Team (see above).
* Some will be interested in in some specific page for a specific language, not in translations in general.
* In time, some may even be interested in curating domain dictionaries ("shaft" is not a word I normally use so I don't know what it is in Spanish).

We'll find out as we grow.

== Tools and advice ==

* http://universalsubtitles.org/ - useful for subtitles, used at (example), now accepts vimeo too.
* http://piratepad.net - useful for cooperative transcription, with chat window on the side.
* [http://translate.google.com/toolkit/ Google Translator Toolkit] - Probably better than piratepad for cooperative (and machine-assisted) translations. Accepted formats include:
** URL of a file on the web
** URL of a Wikipedia article
** URL of a Knol article
** AdWords Editor Archive (.aea)
** HTML (.html)
** Microsoft Word (.doc)
** OpenDocument (.odt)
** Text (.txt)
** Rich Text (.rtf)
** SubRip (.srt)
** SubViewer (.sub)

== Wiki Translation ==
===Page Title Convention===
We will use the convention described at [http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Multilingual_Wiki The Document Foundation Wiki], that is, we should create [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Subpages subpages] with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes ISO 639-1] code (2-letter language code). See this example:

* Original page: [[Main Page]]
* French translation: Main Page/'''[[Main Page/fr|fr]]'''
* Portuguese translation: Main Page/'''[[Main Page/pt|pt]]'''

''(If you take a look at the top of the translated pages, you'll notice that the links to the various language codes are not properly formatted. Can you help fix this?)''

===Basics rules to create your pages===
* The name of the translated article ''My Page'' will be ''My Page''/'''xx''', where '''xx''' is the ''ISO code'' of the language in '''lower case'''.
* Always insert [[Template:OrigLang|'''<nowiki>{{OrigLang}}</nowiki>''']] at the top of the '''original ''English'' page'''. It will automatically display the links to all language versions of this page.
* Always insert [[Template:Lang|'''<nowiki>{{Lang|Translated Title}}</nowiki>''']] at the top of the '''''translated'' page''', which will automatically display the links to all other language versions of this page.
** ''Don't forget to replace '''Translated Title''' with the proper translation of the article title.''
* Make sure you are working on the new article and don't accidentally translate the original one.
* It will automatically add the language category to the pages.
* Look up difficult terms to translate in the [[:Category: Glossary|glossaries]], and add new terms as appropriate to help the others.

{{Tip|Translating Templates|
If you're translating a '''template''', please enclose the tags ('''<nowiki>{{OrigLang}}</nowiki>''' or '''<nowiki>{{Lang|Translated Title}}</nowiki>''') inside a '''noinclude''' node, like this: '''<nowiki><noinclude>{{Lang|Translated Title}}</noinclude></nowiki>'''
}}

''(Have you noticed we now have '''ELEVEN translations''' for the main video at the front page? IIRC, we initially translated to Portuguese, Spanish and Italian only. Now, we also have '''Czech, French, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Swedish and Traditional Chinese'''. THANK YOU ALL who have contributed!)''
