Help:Language translation: Difference between revisions

# 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/fr|https://wiki.tf2classic.com/wiki/Installation/fr]]}} to direct you to the French Translation of the [[Installation]] 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.

#* 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 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.

The wiki supports every languages that Steam and the Source Engine supports. However, only a fraction have an official translation for TF2 Classic. It is advised to not translate any pages to a language which TF2 Classic hasn't been translated to. If that's the case, and if you feel like it, you can apply to translate TF2 Classic to your language by asking nicely on [https://discord.gg/3zMk4vn our official Discord server].
