Project: Mentor Linguist Scribe Translation Project

Second Life is an international platform and volunteers need to have clear, translated information in all languages! This project will create sub-pages in other languages for the main English pages. The language template used will create automatic language links at the top of the pages, such as the one on this project page. Language Template Information

Mentor Linguists/Scribes can participate in this project by choosing a wiki page from the list below and translating it into the language(s) they speak fluently. This suggestion list will be updated periodically with new pages.

Second Life Mentor Linguists who are not familiar with wiki, if needed please contact a Scribe whose name is listed on this page, for assistance in adding the newly translated page to wiki.

Second Life Mentor Scribes please feel free to help do any translations and also list your name here if you are willing to assist Linguists using the wiki for this project.

Step by Step Procedure to Create a Translation Page

Log into wiki with your Second Life name and password https://wiki.secondlife.com
Choose a page from the Suggested Pages to Translate list. (Check to be sure no one else is already doing that page in your language please)
Edit this project page. Enter your information in the Suggested Pages to Translate section next to the language under that page name.
- Example: English: Nov 21 2007, Lexie Linden, In Progress.
Click Show Preview. If you think it looks good, click Save Page.
Click the link of the page you have chosen to translate. Click the edit tab on that page. Type this just as you see it: {{Multi-lang}} on the top line and add a blank line below it.
Copy everything on the edit page except the bottom of the page tags. Click on Save Page at the bottom.
In the Search box on the left side of the wiki page, type the exact name of the page you have chosen and add a /your language code. This is how you create the language subpage. Example: Tao of Volunteers/fr - Press Go.

Language Codes

Code	Language
de	German
en	English
es	Spanish
fr	French
it	Italian
ja	Japanese
ko	Korean
nl	Dutch
pl	Polish
pt	Portuguese
zh	Chinese

Click the red link at the top of the page that shows your new page name.
You are now on the edit screen of your translation page. Paste the English version you copied here or paste to a basic text editor such as Notepad. You will want to use the same wiki syntax that is used on the English version page.. Bold and italics marks etc.
Translate the text leaving the wiki syntax intact. Please do not add any additional information to the translated page. English and translated versions should be the same.
Click on Show Preview at the bottom of the page to see if your page looks how you want. If not, continue to edit. If done, click Save Page.
Return to this Project page and edit/update your chosen page information in the Suggested Pages to Translate section by changing the date to the finished date and change In Progress to DONE.

Thank You for helping make the Second Life wiki a better resource for everyone!
