Help:Extension:Translate/Translation example/zh



欢迎，荣耀的翻译者. 我们有很多工作要做：让我们快速了解基本信息以便您尽快上手. 在这个教程中，您会了解如何使用翻译工具包. '''一次学习长久使用，如果您不想了解它的用法，现在请停止阅读. '''

无论您来自哪里，我们希望翻译管理员已经提供了适合您的一些待翻译内容. 本教程中使用翻译管理员指南中创建的 Fréttinga 页面作为示例. 它不是为本教程需要而创建的特殊页面，而是类似于使用此工具可翻译的所有内容.

也许您在某处看到请求您翻译一些内容的链接. 如果没有，请点击译者公告板，在您的维基中包含了一些待译内容. 如果您只是想看看翻译的一般过程，请继续阅读并看看其中的截图.

Usually you cannot make translations without asking for permissions. Some wikis however have enabled translation to all users. You will quickly notice if you lack the rights to translate. If this is the case, contact a translation administrator of your wiki. Let's start with getting to the translation view.


 * 一、前往Fréttinga页面.
 * 二、点击翻译本页连接（如果未出现表明您并无翻译权限）.

或者您可试试：


 * 1b. Go to the translator dashboard.
 * 2b. Click the name of any message group that has untranslated messages.

Messages to translate are grouped by "message group": Each translatable page is a message group, but there can be other kinds of message groups too.


 * 3. Choose a language other than the language of the source text (which usually is English or ).

This view and variations of it are the basic interface you will working in. The long list of messages still to be translated may occasionally depress you, but fortunately we don't actually need to watch that list so often. You should see at least some untranslated messages here. Let's make your first translation. Click a row to open the the translation editor. You will see the source text you need to translate and a text area where you can write your translation. If you clicked the first message listed for the page Fréttinga, it should say "Fréttinga" as the content. Since it is a name, you don't usually need to change it, so you can copy it as-is to the text area. If your language uses a different writing system, you can choose to transliterate it. Then just click save and you are done!

Depending on the configuration of the wiki, you may also see other things in the editor besides the source text. There may be suggestions from translation memories or machine translation systems. There can be a section for tips that provide crucial information that you need to use to make a correct translation. So if there are tips, read them carefully. If there are no tips and you feel like you need them, ask someone in the wiki to add them; if you are knowledgeable enough about the text that needs translation, add them yourself. These tips help you to translate better and faster. Don't feel ashamed to ask for clarifications – it's highly likely that the other tens or hundreds translators are wasting their time thinking of the same issues.
 * 4. Click the message name on the left column.
 * 5. In the editor dialog, write the translation of the source text in the place reserved for it.
 * 6. Click or tap "Save translation".

One more thing about the translation aids: if you benefit from seeing the message translated into other languages as additional tip, go to your preferences –> Editing –> Translation options and add one or more assistant languages for yourself.

Feel free to make a few more translations and try out the other buttons. Clicking the suggestions or the "Paste source" button will immediately paste that text in the text area, overwriting anything already in that text area.

Here we are again, watching the list with untranslated messages. If you refresh the page, the list should now be shorter, or even empty. The view has information like description of the group, but more interesting at the top you can choose language, message group and different message filters.

All message groups function the same way, and you don't need to worry about them too much. The important thing is that you always need to choose a message group to work on, and things like statistics and completion percentages are calculated on message group level. From the different views at the bar at the bottom, you can switch to the view suitable for doing other tasks, like review or translating whole pages. Depending the configuration, you should see all or some of the following vies: "List", "Page" and "Proofreading". Read more about reviewing translations and other quality assurance methods in the quality assurance page.

The page can also contain the message group status near the message group description, which can be set for each language of the group; if you see a dropdown selector of the possible states, it means that you can change it, and you should update it when you are working on the translation or if you are reviewing it. See more about workflow states in the message group states page.

Important concepts
You already know what a message group is, and have seen the translation editor and assistant languages. Now the translation administrator may have continued their page translation tutorial and changed the contents of the page Fréttinga. When the text that must be translated changes, it will show up again in the list of untranslated messages and also in the list of outdated messages.

When facing an outdated messages, you have two options. You can confirm that the translation does not need any changes after all, or you can make the necessary changes to it. Messages may appear to be outdated automatically when a new translation is saved, if the automatic checks find issues in the translation, like for example unbalanced link syntax missing the other "&#93;" character. You will also get a warning about these when editing the translation.

The outdated translations are replaced with the source text in translatable pages. If you now return to the translated page by clicking the link on the message group description, you should see that your translations are already there. Most of the translations you will make are applied immediately with exception about some message groups, like many of those in translatewiki.net, where the translation are regularly and manually exported by translation administrators to the software they are used in.

One more useful tip when translating translatable pages: magic words like  0  will format the output in the translation language, not in the language of the source text. If you like, you can read more on how magic words work and should be used in translations. This is not required reading, though.
