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.

  1. 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.
  2. Add <languages /> to the top of the page in the source editing view.
  3. Surround translatable elements in <translate></translate> tags.
    • See further guidance on this below
  4. 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.

Example Pages

The following pages have examples of good uses of the <translate> tags:
