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 standardized 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.

The main purpose of the [[Template:TranslationInProgress|<nowiki>{{TranslationInProgress}}</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:TranslationInProgress|TranslationInProgress]] thus allowing other translators to find them and collaborate, review, make comments, etc. on them.

: 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!
