Translations:Help:Extension:Translate/Page translation administration/7/en

Tagging. When the text is otherwise ready for translation, anyone can mark the translatable parts by enclosing them in $translate tags and adding the $languages bar to the page. The latter adds a list of all translations of the page, with their completion and up-to-date percentages. There is no other indication that translations exist. See below how to actually do the tagging. The system will detect when the tags are placed on the translatable page, and the page will have a link to mark it for translation. It will also complain and prevent saving if you for example forgot to add a closing tag. The translatable page will also be listed on Special:PageTranslation as ready for marking.
