Conventions

  • The main language of the site is English. Therefore, we recommend that you create content on it and follow the Non-English language pages, use the "/language code" prefix (eg for Hungarian "Principality of Hutt River/hu" ) and add the template {{Available languages}} with the name of the original English page embedded in a single parameter (i.e. {{Available languages|English name}} ).

Please do not add machine translations of foreign language articles to MicroWiki. Due to their poor quality, they are generally not useful and can be very difficult to fix. In the future, please follow the instructions laid out at MicroWiki:MicroProject Translate.

How To Translate An Article

  1. Find a suitable article that exists on MicroWiki in English.
  2. Go to the Create Page Wizard and enter the wanted name in the search box with the language code prefix (eg for Hungarian "Principality of Sealand/hu" ). Then click the button marked "create page".
  3. Paste your translation on the target page. Don't worry too much about formatting at this stage.
  4. Save the page, including an edit summary providing copyright attribution stating what you're about to do and that the text was translated from the English version of the article. You should provide a link to the source article, to give credit to the original writers. We suggest text for the edit summary like:
    Content in this edit is from the existing MicroWiki article at [[Exact name of MicroWiki article]]; see its history for attribution. Formatting follows.
  5. If appropriate, edit again, tidy up the layout, and add links, headings, and images. If you want to add templates, do that, too.
  6. Add the category Category:name of language-language pages (eg for French [[Category:French-language pages]]).
  7. If the article was originally in English, add the translate template, {{Available languages|Exact name of the English article}}.
  8. Save again, including a suitable edit summary.
  9. Check and correct as necessary.
