UfoWiki:Language policy

From UfoWiki

This page describes the multi-lingual policy for this wiki on xufo.net.

• English is the primary reference language, and all root pages should be named and written in English.
• German is the secondary reference language, and all pages should be available in German as well.
• Support for French, Italian, and Spanish is basically there, but writing translations to these languages is optional.

• Translated pages should be placed in an appropriately named sub-page of the English version. E.g. the German version of Main Page is at Main Page/de (not Hauptseite or Hauptseite/de).
• All relevant pages should be tagged with the {{Languages}} template, which automatically creates links to all available translations. The English root pages only need {{Languages}}, the translations need {{Languages|Page Title}}, where Page Title is the title of the English root page.
• Language sub-pages must be named using the appropriate language code for that language - /de for German, /fr for French, /it for Italian and /es for Spanish.
• If an international version of a page exists but an English version does not, then please create a stub article for the English version as this aids navigation.
• Cross references should be made to point at pages in the same language as the origin page, i.e. German pages will link to other German pages.
• If you edit a page in one main language (e.g. English) but are not able to do the same edits in the corresponding page of the other main language (e.g. German), please tag the "other" page by adding the {{SynchTrans}} template, so that someone else may do the translation.
