Participar en proyectos de traducción puede ser divertido y gratificante. Sin embargo, la naturaleza volátil de wiki puede hacer las cosas difíciles para el traductor. Estas complicaciones pueden superarse siguiendo unas reglas simples y usando prácticas de trabajo estandarizadas. Se espera que esto permita a cualquier persona colaborar en el esfuerzo de [[translating|traducción]] y, al mismo tiempo divertirse en el proceso.

Taking part in translation projects can be fun and rewarding. However the volatile nature of wiki can make things difficult for the translator. These complications can be overcome by following a few simple rules and using standardised work practices. It is hoped that this will allow anybody to collaborate in the [[translating]] effort and at the same time have fun in the process.

== Step-by-step summary ==

Desde el punto de vista del wiki, hay básicamente tres formas de enlazar una página traducida:

# [[Configurar la página fuente: asegurarse de que haya una plantilla <nowiki>{{Translations}}</nowiki>| modificar la fuente de la página]]&mdash si nunca se ha traducido;
# [[#Modifying the language bar|agragar una referencia]] &mdash; apuntar/vincular la traducción de manera estándar, y
# [[#Setting up the translated page|acondicionar la página traducida]] &mdash; añadiendo alguna estructura de ayuda.
La mayoría de las veces, los [[translators|traductores]] sólo se enfrentarán con los dos últimos pasos (la creación y la vinculación de la traducción) 

{{ Translated text |
From the point-of-view of the wiki, there are basically three tasks to hook up a translated page:
# [[Setting up the source page: ensure it has a <nowiki>{{Translations}}</nowiki> template|modify the source page]] &mdash; if it has never been translated;
# [[#Modifying the language bar|adding a reference]] &mdash; point/link to the translation in a standard way; and
# [[#Setting up the translated page|conditioning the translated page]] &mdash; adding some helper structure.
Most of the time, [[translators]] will only deal with the last two steps (setting up and linking the translation).

=== Setting up the source page: ensure it has a <nowiki>{{Translations}}</nowiki> template ===
Vamos a suponer que usted desea traducir una página que es supervisada por el equipo de OLPC; lo que significa que tendrá una referencia al [[Template:OLPC|<nowiki>{{OLPC}}</nowiki>]] template&mdash; que agrupa las páginas [[:Category:Paginas monitoreadas por OLPC]]&mdash; y con frecuencia son los puntos de entrada o que contengan información que pueda ser más útil, evidentemente, para las comunidades locales.

{{ Translated text |
We'll assume that you want to translate a page that is monitored by the OLPC team; meaning that it will have a reference to the [[Template:OLPC|<nowiki>{{OLPC}}</nowiki>]] template&mdash;that groups pages in the [[:Category:Pages monitored by OLPC]]&mdash;and they frequently are the entry points or that contain information that may be more obviously helpful for the local communities.

Si la página a traducir ya tiene una barra de idiomas, puede pasar a [[#Modifying the language bar]]
{{ Translated text |
If the page to translate already has a language bar, you can skip down to [[#Modifying the language bar]].

==== Adding the language bar ====
Aunque es raro, puede que sea necesario  traducir una página que nadie más ha traducido antes. En ese caso, debe ser añadida una barra de navegación de las traducciones en la página original.

|}
</div>
| display = block }}

==== Setting up the /translations ====

{{ Translated text |

You should follow the <tt><nowiki>[[Original page/translations]]</nowiki></tt> link in order to edit the page that groups the translations of a particular page, and should look something like this:
| display = block }}

{{ Translated text |
To edit the page that groups the translations of a particular page, follow the ''<nowiki>[[Original page/translations]]</nowiki>'' link. It should look something like the following:
| display = block }}


{{ Translated text |
<div style="font-size:80%; ">
{| cellspacing=0

|- valign="top" style="background:lightgray; "
! <nowiki>[[Original page/translations]]</nowiki>

|- valign="top"
| 
 <nowiki>{{translationlist | xx | origlang=en}}</nowiki>
|}
</div>
| display = block }}

{{ Translated text |
The resulting page will have a red colored link, denoting a missing/broken link to your future translation. Don't worry, you'll fix that in the next step.
| display = block }}

{{ Translated text |
'''NOTE:''' The Translationlist template uses the form "<tt>[[The OLPC Wiki/lang-es]]</tt>" for translated pages. If you want to change it later so that the page title is in the target language (e.g. "<tt>[[El Wiki de la OLPC]]</tt>"), use the "move" function of the wiki; this automatically creates a redirect link so that the interlanguage links still work. (As a matter of fact, there are many pages that do not follow this structure, but most of them are left over from when there wasn't a clear structure and way for adding translations. As mentioned in the [[translating]] pages, there are advantages to sticking with the <tt>/lang-[[#lang|xx]]</tt> structure.)
| display = block }}

=== Modifying the language bar ===
{{ Translated text |
Below is an example of a typical language bar. The page that may need translation would have a link shown as <tt>'''+/-'''</tt> to the far right of the bar. (Not shown on this example.) This is a link to the editing page for the language bar. To create a link, for example when adding a new language on the language bar, follow this <tt>'''+/-'''</tt> link to go to the editing page. Then add the appropriate code for the new language.
<div style="font-size:90%; margin-left:5%; margin-right:5%; ">
| display = block }}

{{ Translated text |
{{Translations | {{:The OLPC Wiki/translations}}}}
</div>
When inserting the link to your page, please keep things '''in alphabetical order denoted by the <tt>/lang-[[#lang|xx]]</tt> sequence''' (if you're adding say <tt>/lang-de</tt> it should go before the link to 'english'). Also, note the spaces around the '|' that separate each language. See [[#Setting up the /translations|above on <tt>/translations</tt>]] for more info.
| display = block }}


=== Setting up the translated page ===
{{ Translated text |
Although the translator is given as much freedom to edit and to translate as possible when translating the wiki, there is one rule that must be adhered to at all times. The translated page must be declared as a [[Template:Translation|<nowiki>{{Translation}}</nowiki>]]. (Please note the use of "singular". Plural is for the original page and it will have many translations.)
| display = block }}

{{ Translated text |
There are couple of other bits of advice that may improve the quality of the translation process. First, please keep navigation and linking within the translated pages simple and easy to follow. Secondly, preserving the original text in the translation may simplify peer review and help with maintenance.
| display = block }}

{{ Translated text |
The quickest way to set up a page is by going back to the
original page, then copying the '''wiki-text'''. This can be done either by following the ''edit'' link or through ''view source'' if the page is protected. Then copy the whole page and paste it onto the new page.
| display = block }}

==== Adding the [[Template:Ongoing Translation|Ongoing Translation template]] ====

 <nowiki>{{OLPC}}</nowiki>
 <nowiki>{{</nowiki>Translation
  &#124; lang = [[#lang|xx]]
  &#124; source = [[#source|Original page]]
  &#124; version = [[#version|yyyy]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>
 '''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>Ongoing Translation<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''
 
 <nowiki>== Some header ==</nowiki>
 
 Some text blah... <br>blah... <nowiki>[[#Another header]]</nowiki> <br>... blah
 
 
 <nowiki>== Another header ==</nowiki>
 
 Some other text blah... <br>blah... <nowiki>[[Another page]]</nowiki> <br>and <nowiki>[[Another page#section|section]]</nowiki> <br>... blah
|}
</div>
| display = block }}

{{ Translated text |
The main purpose of the [[Template:Ongoing Translation|<nowiki>{{Ongoing Translation}}</nowiki>]] template is to inform the readers that a particular page is still not finished, therefore they can expect the presence of untranslated text or that it hasn't been reviewed enough and thus may not be quite done yet. Parallel to that notice to the reader, it does a grouping of them in the [[:Category:Ongoing Translation|Ongoing Translation category]] thus allowing other translators to find them and collaborate, review, make comments, etc. on them.
| display = block }}


==== Translating section headers ====
{{ Translated text |
When translating section headers, the best practice is to preserve them as anchors. Then add the translated header under it.
| display = block }}

{{ Translated text |
For example if the section header is called "Some Section Header" and it is translated into German in the form of "Einige Paragraph Kopfzeile". Original text "Some Section Header" is preserved by wrapping it between curly braces like the following: 

    <nowiki>{{anchor|Some Section Header}}</nowiki>
| display = block }}

{{ Translated text |
Then the translated text "Einige Paragraph Kopfzeile" is placed under it. Together it will look like the following when finished:

    <nowiki> {{anchor|Some Section Header}} </nowiki><br>
    <nowiki> == Einige Paragraph Kopfzeile == </nowiki><br>

<div style="font-size:80%; ">
{| 

|- valign="top" style="background:lightgray; "
! <nowiki>[[Original page]]</nowiki> !! <nowiki>[[</nowiki>Original page/lang-[[#lang|xx]]<nowiki>]]</nowiki><span style="font-size:80%"><br>''(translated page name)''</span>

|- valign="top"
| 
 <nowiki>{{OLPC}}</nowiki>
 <nowiki>{{Translations}}</nowiki>
 
 
 <nowiki>== Some header ==</nowiki>
 
 Some text blah... <br>blah... <nowiki>[[#Another header]]</nowiki> <br>... blah
 
 
 <nowiki>== Another header ==</nowiki>
 
 Some other text blah... <br>blah... <nowiki>[[Another page]]</nowiki> <br>and <nowiki>[[Another page#section|section]]</nowiki> <br>... blah
|
 <nowiki>{{OLPC}}</nowiki>
 <nowiki>{{</nowiki>Translation
  &#124; lang = [[#lang|xx]]
  &#124; source = [[#source|Original page]]
  &#124; version = [[#version|yyyy]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>
 <nowiki>{{</nowiki>Ongoing Translation<nowiki>}}</nowiki>
 
 '''<nowiki>{{anchor|Some header}}</nowiki>'''
 <nowiki>== Un titular ==</nowiki>
 
 Some text blah... <br>blah... <nowiki>[[#Another header]]</nowiki> <br>... blah
 
 '''<nowiki>{{anchor|Another header}}</nowiki>'''
 <nowiki>== Otro titular ==</nowiki>
 
 Some other text blah... <br>blah... <nowiki>[[Another page]]</nowiki> <br>and <nowiki>[[Another page#section|section]]</nowiki> <br>... blah
|}
</div>
| display = block }}


==== Translating links ====
{{ Translated text |
When translating links, the original text is preserved by using what is called "piped links". By placing the symbol "|" between original text and the translated text, both become connected together through a pipe. For example if "some-link" is to be translated into German as "einige-link", it will end up looking like the following:

    <nowiki>[[some-link|einige-link]]</nowiki>
| display = block }}

{{ Translated text |
As a result, following "einige-link" will connect to "some-link". The reader will only see the translated link "einige-link".
| display = block }}


==== Linking to a page in particular language ====
{{ Translated text |
When linking to a translated page in a particular language use the /lang-xx to point to that particular translation.  

    <nowiki>[[some-link/lang-de|einige-link]]</nowiki>
| display = block }}


==== Translating texts ====

{{ Translated text |
When translating text, it is useful to preserve original text by wrapping them inside [[Template:Translated_text|<nowiki>{{Translated text}}</nowiki>]] function. "display = ''value''" parameter
can be used to control whether the original text is visible to the
reader or not. 
| display = block }}

{{ Translated text |
Original text invisible to reader (display = none).
    <nowiki>
    {{ Translated text |   
           original text
           more original text
           yet more original text
           final original text
       | display = none }}
    </nowiki>
| display = block }}


{{ Translated text |
Original text visible to reader (display = block).
    <nowiki>
    {{ Translated text |
           original text
           more original text
           yet more original text
           final original text     
       | display = block }}
    </nowiki>
| display = block }}

==== Handling translated links that point to a non-existent page ====
{{ Translated text |
At the beginning, any link you 'translate' will most likely point to a non-existing page; don't worry. There are two alternatives:
* let the wiki handle them through [[Special:Wantedpages]]
* make one last translating effort: dedicated redirects
| display = block }}


{{ Translated text |
The first alternative is the simplest but also the hardest on the reader (lands them on the 'create page option' which is hardly the best alternative). Another downside, is that it'll be hard to detect those 'wanted pages' for a specific language, as they will be in the same list as all other 'missing translated pages' in other languages ''plus'' all the ''naturally missing pages in the wiki'' (a long list due to historical reasons).
| display = block }}

{{ Translated text |
The second, recommended alternative, is to add the {{tl|subst:requesttranslation}} template to the target page. This self-substitutes with the replacement:

<div style="font-size:80%; ">
{| 

|- valign="top" style="background:lightgray; "
! <nowiki>[[</nowiki>Another page/lang-[[#lang|xx]]<nowiki>|annuder paij]]</nowiki>

|- valign="top"
|
 <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Another page]]</nowiki>
 <nowiki>[[</nowiki>Category:Translations wanted lang-[[#lang|xx]]<nowiki>]]</nowiki>
|- valign="top"
|
 <nowiki>{{translation | lang = es | source = Another page | status = wanted }}</nowiki>
|}
</div>
| display = block }}

{{ Translated text |
Note: the last option is only available for those languages whose "inline translation instructions" are not red in [[Translating#multi-lingual_navigation_templates|this table]]. Use the links there to create instructions for your language, based on English or Spanish, in a template named "translation/no translation/lang-xx".
| display = block }}

{{ Translated text |
; WARNING : Make '''sure''' that the original page is '''not''' linking to a '''REDIRECT'''. If that is the case, you should change the target to the ''real page and create there the <tt>/lang-[[#lang|xx]]</tt> subpage''. For example, if the <tt><nowiki>[[Foo]]</nowiki></tt> actually is a redirect to <tt><nowiki>[[Bar]]</nowiki></tt>, then you should create the '''<tt><nowiki>[[</nowiki>Bar/lang-[[#lang|xx]]<nowiki>]]</nowiki></tt>''' instead of <tt><nowiki>[[</nowiki>Foo/lang-[[#lang|xx]]<nowiki>]]</nowiki></tt> and change the referencing link accordingly.
| display = block }}

{{ Translated text |
This will serve three purposes, first the page will at least take the reader to the right page (albeit not in the correct language). Secondly, the ''Category'' will allow a simple way to check 'what is missing'. Finally, and using the ''What links here'' from the '''toolbox''' you can find out how many references to the missing page exist, giving some sense of ''need'' for it and thus guiding the translating efforts.
| display = block }}

{{ Translated text |
'''Please do NOT add''' these ''fake translation redirects'' to the <tt>/translations</tt> page, as it doesn't make sense to advertise a translation that doesn't yet exist. Only when the REDIRECT is made into a real translation (ongoing or otherwise) add the link to the language navigation page.
| display = block }}

{{ Translated text |
; lang : This parameter identifies the target language of the translation. See [[Translation Team/ISO 639]] for a select list of codes being used in the wiki. (Another source is [http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry IANA's lang codes]).
: It serves several purposes, and is used in several contexts although it should be done in a homogeneous way.
: '''We are currently using [[Translation Team/ISO 639| ISO 639-1]] codes (two-letter codes)'''.
| display = block }}

{{anchor|source}}
{{ Translated text |
; source : is the name of the page (not the link&mdash;in other words, without the enclosing square brackets).
| display = block }}

{{anchor|version}}
<!--
; version : is a bit of a tricky until you understand it, but extremely helpful.
: The number associated with the parameter comes from the '''original''' page, and has been made explicit in the blue language navigation bar at its right: <tt>'''[ID# ''yyyyy'']'''</tt>.
: Pages in the wiki have a ''numeric id'', and each edition creates a new ID. So when you start translating a page, you want to register which ''version'' you started from. When at some point the source page is modified, its current version will have a higher version number. If you follow the ''changes'' link in the translation blue bar, the system will report all the changes done in that page from the ID# you started from. Once you update the translation, '''do not forget to update''' the version # to match the latest sync'ed to number!
: So when you compare the differences between two pages, internally you are comparing two IDs between them. 
: For example [http://wiki.laptop.org/index.php?title=Template%3ATranslation&diff=35092&oldid=39128 this diff] is actually comparing two pages, NOT two versions of the same page&mdash;admitedly, they are very similar.
-->

{{ Translated text |
; version : Each original page has a unique version number. These version numbers appear on the far right of the 'blue language navigation bar', and appear in the form: <nowiki>[</nowiki>ID# yyyyy<nowiki>]</nowiki>
| display = block }}

{{ Translated text |
: When a page edit is submitted, the version number for that particular page is incremented.
| display = block }}

{{ Translated text |
: A translated page on the other hand does not have a visible version number on its own. It must be manually assigned by the translator when an edit is submitted. The version number of a translated page is the same as the version number of the original page which it is based on.
| display = block }}

{{ Translated text |
: For example if the original page has a version number ID<nowiki>#</nowiki> 54321, and the translatation is based on this particular version, the translated page is given the version number ID<nowiki>#</nowiki> 54321.
| display = block }}

{{ Translated text |
: The version number for the translated page is entered at the top of the page as a parameter for the [[Template:Translation|<nowiki>{{</nowiki>Translation<nowiki>}}</nowiki>]] function.

{{ Translated text |
: There is one use which results directly from the above manual assignment of a version number to the translated page. It allows the translator to easily lookup what new translations are needed by following the 'changes' link located to the far right of the 'blue language navigation bar'.
| display = block }}

{{ Translated text |
: Suppose translator 'A' is making a translation of page [[Bitfrost]] with version number ID# 65535 into español. As per this guide, translator 'A' assigns version number ID# 65535 to the Bitfrost/lang-es español translated page. Meanwhile editor 'B' arrives and edits the original [[Bitfrost]] page and its version number is incremented to ID# 6553'''6'''. Translator 'A' then can see what new translations are necessary by following the 'changes' link located on the blue nav bar. The 'changes' link compares the differences of two versions of the original page ID# 6553'''5''' and ID# 6553'''6'''. By observing the resulting output, translator 'A' could easily see what new text needs to be translated.

{{anchor|display}}
{{ Translated text |
; display : is used to show or hide the enclosed translated text.
: While doing the translation, it comes in handy for comparing the original with the translation. When finished, you can replace the ''block'' with ''none'' and the source text is not displayed. Although it adds quite a bit of text and 'noise' to the source of the translated page, it comes in handy when trying to update or synchronize it with any changes in the original page&mdash;after all, this IS a wiki and pages are supposed to mutate!
