Help:How To Write in Wiki/Translations

Translation is coming.. from you? But we already made some progress. The mainpage has been translated in Dutch and we would love to see it in other languages as well. It only requires a bit of work and patience. To have a whole mainpage like the English one, takes a lot of time. But it doesn't need to be exactly the same. There is a lot of liberty in how to create a page. If you look at Wikipedia and switch between the languages there, there are tons of differences. I love the Dutch Wikipedia because their pages tend to be shorter and giving me just the information I need. But if I want to know more, I go to the English. That could work the same for the YWAM Knowledge Base.

Language Codes
There are only some extra requirement to start a page in another language. We will need to know which language it is, by using a country code. In the future we might be able to create the same system as Wikipedia, but at the moment we can keep track of our non-English pages by using a code. (By the way, the more other language pages we get, the quicker we will adjust this website or send a lot of brownies to Kevin)
 * Here you find more about these codes: Language Codes

Translation Template
Along side the codes, we also use a special template to connect the pages that are translated. For this we use the Translation Template. It is a great tool, because above the page you will get to see the links. And with more languages the more fancy it looks too. I really hope we get the YWAM India page translated in all it 9 languages. But let's see.
