Le wiki de Resonite utilise l'extension Translate MediaWiki afin de permettre de traduire les pages dans plusieurs langues.
L'extension a beaucoup de documentation et de tutoriels vidéo.
For brevity, we'll also present some information here.
== Preparing a page for translation == This information is based on mediawiki's tutorial.
- Ensure the page is at a reasonable level of stability
- Pages that are under construction or change frequently should not be included until they are ready.
- Add <languages /> to the top of the page in the source editing view.
- Surround translatable elements in <translate></translate> tags.
- See further guidance on this below
- Mark this page for translation
Tutorials
We have a number of tutorials available for translating pages:
Best practices for translate tags
These are based on Mediawiki's Examples.
- Do not wrap the whole page in <translate>
- This is a problem we had in he past which lead to confusion sometimes.
- Instead wrap select parts with the tags.
- A good example is actually the source of previous linked mediawiki page.
- Be careful around:
- Tables
- Images
- Templates
- Lists
Tables
Don't:
<translate>
{| class="wikitable"
|+ Food complements
|-
|Orange
|Apple
|-
|Bread
|Pie
|-
|Butter
|Ice cream
|}
</translate>
- Wrapping a whole table in translate tags makes it hard to translate.
Do
{| class="wikitable"
|+<translate nowrap>Food complements</translate>
|-
|<translate nowrap>Orange</translate>
|<translate nowrap>Apple</translate>
|-
|<translate nowrap>Bread</translate>
|<translate nowrap>Pie</translate>
|-
|<translate nowrap>Butter</translate>
|<translate nowrap>Ice cream</translate>
|}
- Wrapping each individual item in translate tags makes it easier to translate.
Images
Wrap only, the description/alt-text in <translate> e.g.
[[File:MediaWiki database schema latest.svg|thumb|link=https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Manual:Database_layout/diagram&action=render|<translate>Database schema of MediaWiki core</translate>]]
Example Pages
The following pages have examples of good uses of the <translate> tags:
