This Style Guide recommends to translate the English word ''You'' with the German ''Sie''. German Linguists considered this translation as inapropriate for a medium such as the Second Life Wiki. We discussed this topic at [[German_Linguists/2008_04_16_Transcript|a previous meeting]] and got the feedback from [[User:Lexie_Linden|Lexie Linden]] to translate formal articles (like rules and guidelines) with "Sie", while using "Du" for conversational topics.

A translation of the [[Volunteer Portal]] was suggested and started at [[User:Zai_Lynch/Sandbox/Volunteer_Portal/de]]. It will be moved to [[Volunteer Portal/de]] as soon as the article is readable. Guidelines for this project were discussed at [[German_Linguists/2008_04_16_Transcript|a previous meeting]] and are as follows:
If you would like to contribute to the German speaking Linguists Pavillion at SLVEC, please read the building guidelines at the [[SL Volunteer Education Center]] article and list your contributions at [[SL Volunteer Linguist Center/German]].
*German articles should link to other German articles instead of linking to their English parents.
*If no German translation is available, please mark the link to the English article with a bold and red asterisk <font color="red">'''*'''</font>. The required wiki-code is: ''<nowiki><font color="red">'''*'''</font></nowiki>''. Please also add this page to our to-do-list at [[German_Linguists/Portal_Translation_Project]].
*Create new articles with German titles and enter redirects to ENGLISHARTICLENAME/de. For example:
: Create an article named [[Mentorenanwärter]] with a redirect to [[SL_Apprentice_Mentors/de]] using the wiki code ''<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[SL_Apprentice_Mentors/de]]</nowiki>'' as its '''only''' content.
*Search the English pendent to orphaned German articles and move them to ENGLISHARTICLENAME/de. If there is no English pendent, create one with a brief summary about the content and then move the orphaned German article as mentioned above.
Please don't edit these guidelines without a discussion at either the [[Talk:German Linguists|related discussion page]] or at one of the German Linguists Meetings.
