First you need to find an article that you like to translate. Then in the URL bar of your browser, add a slash (/) followed by the abbreviation of your desired language (see here for a list) and go to that page. So if I wanted to translate the TerraSync article into Dutch, I would visit the [[TerraSync/nl]] page. As you can see this page does not exist yet, so we are sure no-one translated it in Dutch so far. | First you need to find an article that you like to translate.

Now we translate the actual article. You can leave wiki links as they are (pointing to he English article), unless the article is translated into the language of your article. In that case you make a wiki link like this: <tt><nowiki>[[Main Page/nl|Hoofdpagina]]</nowiki></tt>. Only [[Main Page/nl|Hoofdpagina]] will be shown in the article, but it points to [[Main Page/nl]]. | Now we translate the actual article.
