Help talk:Extension:Translate/Translation best practices

Things to cover
 * usual stuff about variables, links, what to translate
 * links that explain these in more detail
 * encourage message documentation and explain how it works in Translate
 * less important: encourage terminology (and promise we'll have awesome feature to handle it in the future, perhaps even explaining why OmegaWiki is not the way)

Not decided whether this page should be translated or not. probably some language-specific practices (links) will be needed.

Maybe the page is badly named, since this is more like a introduction for translators. Should give more tips.

FOSS manual
So we're not putting references to the manual? Or could we if I put it in web version on Wikibooks? --Nemo 16:32, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Siebrand once shared this link, should it be placed somewhere? http://www.globalvis.com/internationalization-i18n/ --Nemo 23:50, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Audience
Is this only for translators or also for developers? The "Message documentation" is mostly for developers. Compare translatewiki:Translating:Localisation for developers. --Nemo 14:11, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
