Video Tutorial
Creating pages
Primary Language
English is the primary language of SL Wiki.
English is chosen because it is the most common language in international communication today. It is not to give privilege to native-English speakers. So, even if you are very good at English, please assume that readers are not fluent in English and use plain simple wording.
You may use foreign words or phrases in English sentences if it is needed. However, please take care to avoid uses of Latin, Greek, or French, unless it is a commonly understood Anglicized phrase or loanword.
Page Titles
The title of a page in the SL Wiki should be in the same language as the article itself.
In case article names about the same subject collide (e.g. almost all LSL Portal related articles like llSay), the base page should be in English.
Non-English Contents
If you want to create a new page in a non-English language, please consider writing it in two languages; one in English and another in your non-English language, connecting both via Template:Multi-lang. See the paragraphs below for a more detailed view of the procedure. The English page doesn't need to be complete in this case. Just a brief summary should be fine.
Even if you are not willing or lack proper skills to write the page in English, it is recommended to create an almost empty English page that only says something like "The content of this page is not available in English currently.", and write your non-English page as a translation.
This way, other residents can eventually translate your contents into English without changing entire page structure.
Translation
Linguists are invited to translate SL Wiki pages into other languages.
Page Titles
Translated content is written in its own page.
The title of the translated page should be a translation of its corresponding English page title. The non-English article should contain
{{multi-lang|1=ENGLISH_ARTICLENAME|2=/LANGUAGE_CODE}}
on top of the page.
The English page should have a subpage located at ENGLISH_ARTICLENAME/LANGUAGE_CODE with
#REDIRECT [[NON_ENGLISH_ARTICLENAME]]
as its only content.
Note:
If the parent article contains a {{help}} template rather than a {{multi-lang}} template, use the following syntax:
{{help/LANGUAGE_CODE|Parent=ENGLISH_ARTICLENAME}}
Following this suggestion might lead into article name collisions. There are two possible kinds of article-name collisions which are handled seperately.
Collision: Identical Title - Same Topic
In case two articles of the same topic collide, the English article will be placed at base page and the non-English article will be placed at a subpage with an appropriate language code. For example:
etc.
Collision: Identical Title - Different Topic
Consider the following scenario:
- An article about the sim "Lune" would be located at /wiki/Lune.
- An article about the natural satellite, the "Moon" would be located at /wiki/Moon
Should these articles be translated into french, there is a collision with "Moon" being "Lune".
The current proposal is that a french translation of Lune (the sim) be located at Lune/fr, and a french translation of Moon (the natural satellite) be located at /wiki/Lune_(satellite_naturel)[1] (with an automatic redirection from /wiki/Moon/fr).
The page Lune (the sim) should contain a disambiguation on top, containing "Si vous recherchez des informations sur le satellite naturel, consultez la page Lune (satellite naturel)".[2].
Categories
Categories are treated like articles. Instead of Category:LSL Money/fr we got Category:LSL Argent.
Languages Template
Translated pages should be tagged with the {{Multi-lang}} template. English pages that have one or more translation should also. The {{Multi-lang}} template should be put near the top of the page and kept at the same location in translations of the same page.
Consistent use of the {{Multi-lang}} template helps readers to find their preferred-language versions of pages.
Note that the Template:Multi-lang is also available as another name Template:Languages for a historical reason.
Links
If the target page has no translation to the same language, link to the primary (English) page.
Synchronization
Try to synchronize the content of the translated page with the corresponding English page, though you, as a translator, have no duty to track the changes to the original page. Any Resident who notices the change is encouraged to update the translation.
Adding new info only on the translated page is hence dangerous, because some other Resident may remove the addition to synchronize the content. You need some clear indication if you add something only to the translation and not the primary article.
Language Codes
SL Wiki uses both ISO 639-1 (alpha-2) codes and ISO 639-3 codes for language identification.
When both are applicable, 639-1 alpha-2 code has precedence.
(See discussion page for this point.)
List of Language Codes
As of this writing, the following language codes are used in SL Wiki. The list is expected to expand over time.
| Code | Language | Language (native) |
| da | Danish | Dansk |
| de | German | Deutsch |
| el | Greek | ελληνικά |
| en | English | English |
| es | Spanish | Español |
| fr | French | Français |
| he | Hebrew | עברית |
| it | Italian | Italiano |
| ko | Korean | 한국어 |
| ja | Japanese | 日本語 |
| nl | Dutch | Nederlands |
| no | Norwegian | Norsk |
| pl | Polish | Polski |
| pt | Portuguese | Português |
| ru | Russian | Русский |
| sv | Swedish | Svenska |
| zh-Hans | Chinese (Simplified) | 中文(简体) |
| zh-Hant | Chinese (Traditional) | 中文(繁體) |
Note that an English page title will not have a language code attached, so there should not be a page of the title "Something/en". However, the code en for English can and will appear at various locations.
Footnotes
- ^ which means: Moon (natural satellite)
