Applying for Wiki Translator

We are currently accepting applications for translators.

The following graph shows what languages we are currently translating for and the status of each language. If the language is near 100% there will be less chance that you are accepted as a new translator, where as if the language is lower there is a higher chance.

Help us translate the wiki Part time!

Whilst waiting for your application to be reviewed or better your chances of becoming an official wiki translator, you could use the following method for translating articles that have not yet been translated to your language.

First navigate here and download the desired translatable article, by selecting it from the first dropdown menu. Then select the language you're translating to from the second dropdown menu, tick the box "Export for off-line translation" and hit "Fetch" (see example 1).

After you've downloaded the .po file you could download a program designed to edit this type of files, such as Poedit (which is free). Or you could use a regular text editor like Notepad++, if you find it easier and more convenient.

  • Using the second method, simply insert your translation of text displayed after "msgid" between the quotation marks that are followed by "msgstr" (see example 2).

Feel free to submit your translation to Cyan ([email protected]), Verite ([email protected]) or Andre ([email protected]) we'll review your submission as soon as possible and if it has the quality we're looking for, we'll make sure to import your translation.
