Zh-hans:Wiki Translation
Wiki 翻译 是一个帮助发展这个项目的很好的途径. wiki 里有很多重要的帮助和文档. 我们想让使用英语以外的人们也都很好的使用这里. translation 在这个项目的其他部分也是很重要的事情, 哪怕翻译的不多.
社区团结
和 wikipedia 不同, 我们的目标不是在 wide 中收集大而全的内容. Wikipedia 建立他们百科全书的方式是把社区按照语言分开, 然后当成完全不同的项目来进行. 我们这里则完全不同. 我们的项目不是这个 wiki. 翻译 wiki 页面是促进社区团结的一个方式, 他能帮助大家认识彼此, 并最终来帮助改善我们的地图!
With this in mind we haven't deployed exactly the same wiki technology to support translations. We want the small fledging groups of people who do not speak English to feel welcome, and to have all the information they need, but we also want the community as a whole to stay together and stay focussed.
Wiki 翻译进度
Wiki translation is taking place on a somewhat ad-hoc basis, and you are encouraged to join in, but we also need to try and get more organised about this.
Translation efforts are still in very early stages in many languages. There are some wiki pages which are more important than others, so concentrate on these pages first.
Wiki 翻译 HOWTO
Find the English version of a page in the main namespace.
(If there is no english version, you create one by following the HOWTO).
If the languages tool bar is not displayed at the top (as you see on this page for example) then edit the page, and add the following wiki text:
{{Languages|Page_name}}
While you're editing, copy the wiki text of the entire page to your clipboard. ...now 'Save'
Where it says 'other languages', click 'show' and follow a red link to begin creating the new wiki page. Paste in the english text and start rewriting it in your language. The new page title should have a language prefix.
Note: due to technical reasons (limitations in the parser functions defined in the MediaWiki software showing this wiki), not all pages with existing translations will show by default in the list of available languages, but only languages for major languages of the world. The many other languages will be displayed in the second list of 'Other languages' without being tested for their existence, so this list may show both red links (missing major or minority languages), and blue links (missing minority languages). A solution is being developed and tested to solve this problem of inequal visibility, without using "costly" parser functions.
参见 Wiki Help.
Note: before saving the new page, your language is shown as a missing language in the preview. However, after you have saved it, your language is still shown in the missing language box with black colour and bold type. This strange thing is caused by a template cache. Purge cache to rescan the available languages. Your language will be shown as available.
语言模板的规范
This 是一个所有可用语言的列表模板. 它基于 mediawiki 的 parser functions 和 ISO 639-1 语言代码.
摘要规范
- 所有的页面都是以英文命名的.
Every translated page needs a page name with a language code as a prefix, followed by a colon and the english page name.
If the "plain" english page name content is written in English, the english page name does not have a prefix in the file name. If the "plain" english page name content is written in some other language (ie WikiProject France), the english translated page does need a prefix of "en" (ie en:WikiProject France).
Example:Page_name - fr:Page-name - de:Page_name - the following has to be included in each page: {{Languages|Page_name}}
If you click on "missing languages", and then you click on a red link, it automatically opens a new page with the right suffix and the right page name. Copy the original text to this page and translate it. In the first line you put {{Languages|Page_name}}
Example for actually implemented namespaces and languages (2009-6):
Page_name DE:Page_name EN:Page_name ES:Page_name FR:Page_name IT:Page_name NL:Page_name
This automatically generates a language menu consisting of links to the original page (in English) and all translated pages. The links are written in the respective language: Deutsch, English, Français, etc.
Pages with Title in Foreign Language
Pages with names in a national language or other names can create the automatic menu by redirect:
in XX:Page_name:
#REDIRECT [[Page_name]]
in XX:translated title of "Page_name") the English title has to be added as parameter in the template:
{{Languages|Page_name}}
Interface Selection
If you want to change the design of the bar, translate messages or change where the help bottom links to, you can do it by adding the 2nd parameter of your design template.
{{Languages|Key:highway|Fi:Languages/Interface}}
Copy the Template:Languages/Interface as your first template.
Note: Technically, you can make a interface with the translated language as above, it is not recommended to use. Because this template is set for other language users to go back to their language versions, the translated messages can not be read for them. See also this discussion page.
语言前缀和命名空间
Many languages are supported merely as a wiki page naming convention, while some of the more widely used ones are set up as proper namespaces within the wiki software, allowing features like tickboxes on the advanced search. Pages can be listed by prefix (for any language) using Special:PrefixIndex.
Note that only a few languages (for which there are ample contents on this wiki and enough maintainers) have a dedicated namespace on this wiki (for historic reasons, these namespaces are using capital letters). These namespaces allow to perform searches in the many pages created in those languages. Most languages won't have this dedicated namespace. This wiki should progressively be updated to use autotranslatable templates (in a way similar to Wikimedia Commons), instead of having to maintaining a lot of separate pages for each language, for contents that can be maintained in one place independantly of the language displayed.
All other translated pages are stored in the main namespace, using a language-code prefix that should be written in lowercase (only the first letter of the prefix will be automatically uppercased, but this letter case is not significant). This wiki may still contain a few languages for which the language code was uppercased. But to ease the maintenance of links be consistant with the letter case of codes already used in the Languages template shown at the top of translated pages.
For new language, please use language codes conforming to the BCP 47 standard (check the Registry of language subtags on the IANA.org site: generally this means using the ISO 649-1 two-letter code where it exists, otherwise the two-letter technical ISO 646-2 language code, otherwise the three-letter ISO 649-3 code; avoid using obsolete language codes that are marked in this registry as being replaced by another one, or deprecated and merged into another one; for some languages, the language code may be followed by a ISO 15924 script code; it may also be followed by a ISO 3166-1 country/region code, but this usage is no longer recommanded for coding a language variant, and this wiki will prefer to be really international and edited in a way acceptable in all regions where the same language is written).
Note also that a few language codes used for Wikipedia editions (and in interwiki links) do not apply to this scheme, for historical reasons, and have still not been converted or redirected to use the recommended BCP 47 codes (which is the universal standard for the web).

Notes:
- The Min Nan language spoken in Taiwan ("zh-min-nan-TW" in the old RFC 3066, or better now "nan-TW" or just "nan", see BCP 47) is normally written in the Latin script (rather than the simplified Han script, for which it is almost impossible to differentiate from Chinese written with the Simplified Han orthography), and has its own distinctive language code "nan". Taiwanese Chinese (zh-TW) is completely unrelated to Min Nan; the use of zh-TW is deprecated, use Traditional Chinese ("zh-Hant") instead. Feel free to create pages translated in Min Nan, if you need, using the standard "nan" language code.
- See Chinese Wikipedia for informations about Chinese languages on WP ! If the transcoder is implemented here on this wiki, we would no longer need to maintain separate pages with orthographic differences between "zh-Hans" (essentially the same for the P.R. of China mainland, and Singapore) and "zh-Hant" (essentially the same for Taiwan, Hong Kong SAR, and Macau SAR)
- Since Moldavian "ro-md"/"mo"" is not needed and should be removed! See Closure of Moldovan Wikipedia ! The only remaining difference of Moldovan was when the Romanian language was written in the Cyrillic script by people living in Moldova before its independance from USSR. The Russian minority living in the cessessionist Eastern part of Moldova, use the Russian language written in the Cyrillic scipt, not Moldovan/Romanian, but the other Moldovans do speak Romanian (with just minor vocabulary differences that have been developed when Moldova was occupied by USSR, differences that are now disappearing fast with the increased exchanges with Romanian medias and the return to the use of the Latin alphabet, and with which people of both countries can coexist with an excellent and evident mutual understanding.
