Do NOT translate this page. This would result in out-of-sync versions of the master list

Welcome to the LSL Portal Translation Project!

This is a community effort to provide a multi-lingual translation of the LSL Portal. Please feel free to edit and add languages to the set.

How to participate

LSL Scripters can participate in this project by choosing a wiki page and translating it into the language(s) they speak fluently. Templates are much harder to translate and can be done by people with more experience and knowledge of the templates syntax. To discuss LSL portal translation, refere to the discussion page. Language-specific topics can also be discussed on the proper subpage of the LSL_Portal_Translation_Team page.

Inworld group

To make coordination easier, there is an inworld group named "LSL portal translation". Please subscribe to it ('Open Enrollment' is disabled, ask group owner to join).

Subjects of discussion might be :

- transition to new language codes
- links look ugly in the localized categories
- how to attract more contributors
- etc.

This group will also provide mutual help, for example with templates localization.

Procedure to translate a page

Choose a page to translate.

The {{Multi-lang}} tag might need to be included in the English page. If you are not familiar with this wiki, feel free to ask for assistance.

Edit the English page just to copy (Ctrl-C or Cmd-C) its "wikilang" contents

Click the link of the page you have chosen to translate. In the URL bar of your navigator, add a /xx language code. This is how you create the language subpage. Example: LSL_Tutorial/fr to create a french translation of LSL_Tutorial.

In the edition area, paste the English version that you copied earlier (Ctrl-V or Cmd-V) and start translating it

Insert your translation in place of the original content to achieve the same page layout.

You might need to adapt the calls to templates - ask for assistance about the templates that have already been adapted to your language.
