Instructions

 * The original ICA-AtoM documentation is created in English on this MediaWiki website.


 * MediaWiki creates a permalink for each wiki page based on the page title. For example, the permalink for this page is 'title=Translate_this_wiki' (see your browser URL bar above).


 * To see a translated version of the page, users can click on their preferred language in the language bar on the left.
 * This will navigate them to a page that uses the same permalink appended by the corresponding ISO language code. For example, French will route to 'title=Translate_this_wiki/fr', Dutch will route to 'title=Translate_this_wiki/nl'


 * If a translation hasn't yet been created for that page, it will appear as a MediaWiki page stub, ready for data-entry to those users that have editing privileges (e.g. those with a log-in password for this wiki).


 * To translate a wiki page, you will need to login or create a wiki account.


 * The translator should then:
 * 1) go back to the original English version of the page (e.g. Translate_this_wiki)
 * 2) cut all the English text, wiki mark-up codes and image links for that page
 * 3) go back to the target language page that requires translation (e.g. Translate_this_wiki/fr)
 * 4) paste the English text, wiki markup codes and image links into the new page
 * 5) overwrite the English text with the translated text, making sure to keep the same wiki markup code and image links
 * 6) save the page
 * WARNING: When translating links to other wiki pages, be sure to preserve the original page name (appended with the language code) and use the wiki link markup to add a translated name for the page.
 * For example, to translate a link to the Glossary page, use Begrippenlijst instead of Begrippenlijst
