View source for Help:Language translation

TF2 Classic Wiki is capable of handling '''multilingual content''' [[tf:Help:Language translation|very similarly to the TF2 Wiki]].

Currently, because of the very small number of active contributors, it isn't expected for every pages to be translated and maintained.

For a list of all pages on the wiki, please check out [[TF2Classic Wiki:Translations]] and visit the subpage for your respective language to see which articles have yet to be translated.

== How to translate a page ==
Follow these steps to translate a new page:
# Go to the page you wish to translate and click "Edit" (or "View source"). Select and copy the entirety of its code.
# Navigate to the new language by adding {{code|/xx}} to the end of the article, where {{code|xx}} is replaced with the ISO639-1 code of the language you wish to translate to.
#* Example: {{code|[[Installation/es|https://wiki.tf2classic.com/wiki/Installation/es]]}}
# Paste the code of the English page.
# Place {{code|<nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE:abcxyz}}</nowiki>}} at the very top of the page to translate the page's title.
#* For example, {{code|<nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE:Instalación}}</nowiki>}} will properly change the page name to {{code|Instalación}} while keeping the URL be {{code|Installation/es}}.
#* Do not add more than one new line, or else there'll be awkward padding at the top of the page.
# You can start translating the page!
#* Whenever possible, refer to the in-game translations and localization files for any official translated terms.
# Change every single links and categories to properly link to the right place.
#* If there is a link to {{code|<nowiki>[[Troubleshooting]]</nowiki>}} while translating the page, you'd want to add a pipe character {{code|<nowiki>[[Troubleshooting/fr|Dépannage]]</nowiki>}} to make the link redirect to the translated page while showing the page's translated title: [[Troubleshooting/fr|Dépannage]]
#* If there's already a pipe character {{code|<nowiki>[[Troubleshooting|click here]]</nowiki>}}, just translate what's after it: {{code|<nowiki>[[Troubleshooting/fr|cliquez ici]]</nowiki>}}
#* If there is a link to a section {{code|<nowiki>[[Troubleshooting#See also]]</nowiki>}}, you'd want to change what's after the number sign to properly link to the existing section of the linked translated page: {{code|<nowiki>[[Troubleshooting/fr#Voir aussi]]</nowiki>}}
#* If there's an interwiki link {{code|<nowiki>[[tf:Scattergun]]</nowiki>}} or {{code|<nowiki>[[wikipedia:Wall]]</nowiki>}}, if possible please change it to link to the translated version of the page: {{code|<nowiki>[[tf:Scattergun/fr]]</nowiki>}} or {{code|<nowiki>[[wikipedia:fr:Mur]]</nowiki>}}
#* If there's an external link {{code|<nowiki>[https://example.com/ Example page]</nowiki>}}, you'd want to translate the text of the link: {{code|<nowiki>[https://example.com/ Page d'exemple]</nowiki>}}
#** If possible, look for an officially translated version of the linked page, and place that there instead.
#** If it's a link to the official TF2 Classic Discord, please add a mention that it is English-only.
#* If there is a category {{code|<nowiki>[[Category:Gamemodes]]</nowiki>}}, you'd just want to add the language code in there: {{code|<nowiki>[[Category:Gamemodes/de]]</nowiki>}}
This procedure is identical to the procedure of translating a page on the TF2 Wiki.

If done correctly, the translated page should automatically show up on the sidebar. See [[TF2Classic Wiki:Language test]] to see it in action.
