Help:Content translation/Translating

Once you have selected a page to start translating, you will reach the translation editor. The translation editor shows the original page next to the new translation you will create, initially empty. In addition, a third column will expose different translation tools to facilitate editing the translation.

The translation process starts by adding a paragraph to the translation. Tap on the translation area where you want to add the corresponding content. Adding content on a paragraph-by-paragraph basis let's you decide how much you need or want to translate. When available, a machine translated version of the original paragraph will be added to the translation. Reviewing and editing thoroughly each paragraph is essential before publishing the contents.

Translation contents are edited visually. Warnings, errors, and tools for specific kinds of content will help you deal with specific circumstances. All this is covered in more detail in the sections below and the specific pages linked from them.

Editing a translation
The tool keeps the paragraphs visually aligned regardless of the difference in length of their content This makes it easy to navigate and have an overview of what has been translated and what not. In addition, corresponding sentences in the original and the translation will be highlighted to facilitate user review of the content.
