If you would like to write documentation in other language than English, start here. But please consider writing in english first - most people will benefit from that!

Translation guideline

  • English is the main priority language for Typo3 documentation, so all new documents should be written in english!
  • If an english document already exists, then it is okey to translate the document to any other language.
  • We should only translate individual pages. DonĀ“t waste time on translating "structural" pages like the section pages or the {Head-Xxxx} templates.

Please think twice before start translating. Wiki pages is usually updated much more frequently than ordinary (OOo, web, etc) documents, so the translation can quickly be outdated.

How to start translating a page

Just create a new page with the same name prefixed by the language code.

Example:

English        French            German            Japanese
Main_Page  --> Fr:Main_Page  --> De:Main_Page  --> Jp:Main_Page

You see the pagenames are all english ;-)

Then look if an english version of your topic exists.

Put this in the top of your new page:

{{Lang|NewPageName|The title in YOUR language|}}

don't forget the "|"-symbol at the end of this
