Bienvenue glorieux traducteur ! Nous avons beaucoup de travail à faire, couvrons donc rapidement les bases pour que vous puissiez commencer le plus tôt possible. Après ce tutoriel vous saurez comment utiliser vos outils de traduction personnel. Les effets seront permanents alors si vous ne voulez pas apprendre comment l'utiliser arrêter de lire maintenant.

We hope that wherever you come from, the translation administrators have already setup something to translate. This tutorial uses the Fréttinga page that is created in the tutorial for translation administrators. The things covered here do not depend on that particular page, and apply to everything you can translate with this tool.

Maybe you already have a link from someone asking you to translate something. If not, you can check Special:LanguageStats, the translator dashboard, in your wiki for something to translate. If you just want to see how it works in general, you can still read along and watch the screenshots to get an impression of it.

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.


 * 1a. Allez à la page Fréttinga.
 * 2a. Cliquez sur le lien "Traduire cette page" (si celui-ci n'apparaît pas vous n'avez pas la permission de traduire).

Ou vous pouvez essayer :


 * 1b. Allez à tableau de bord du traducteur.
 * 2b. Cliquez le nom de n'importe quel groupe de message qui a des message non traduits.

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. Choisissez un langage autre que le langae du text d'origine (qui est habituellement l'Anglais ou ).

Éditeur de traduction
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 link in the left column to get a popup window with the translation editor; you can also double click a message to get the editor inline. 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, except if your language uses a different writing system, in which case 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. Cliquez le nom du message dans la colonne de gauche.
 * 5. Écrivez la traduction du text source dans l'éditeur de dialogue dans la place qui lui est réservée.
 * 6. Cliquez "Sauvegarder".

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.

Il est habituellement inutile d'ajouter un sommaire si vous travailler sur une nouvelle traduction à moins de vouloir clarifier certaines décisions que vous avez faites au niveau de la terminologie ou du formatage. Lorsque vous modifiez une traduction existante il est poli de mentionner "Correction d'un erreur d’épellation" ou "Utiliser le terme X de manière constante", etc.. pour aider les autres traducteurs à comprendre et aider à la collaboration. Vous pouvez à loisir faires quelques traductions additionnelles et essayer les autres boutons. Lorsque vous cliquer sur la petite flèche pointant vers le bas à côté des suggestions et du test original celui-ci va immédiatement être recopié dans la zone de texte en effaçant le texte qui s'y trouve déjà.

Vue de traduction
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 the usual paging controls and description of the group, but more interesting at the top you can choose language, message group and task.

Tous les groupes de message fonctionne de la même manière et vous n'avez guère à vous en soucier. La chose importante à retenir est qu'il faut choisir un groupe de message sur lequel travailler et les statistiques et les pourcentages complétés sont calculés au niveau du groupe de message. From the task selector or the tabs at the very top, you can switch to the view suitable for doing other tasks, like review. Depending on the configuration, you should see at least "Review all translations" and possibly "Accept translations". Choose "Review all" and you should see the translations you made together with the source texts. Again, depending on the configuration, you may also see buttons that say "Accept", but grayed out because you cannot accept your own translations. Read more about reviewing translations and other quality assurance methods in the quality assurance page.

The page can also contain the message group status in the top right corner of 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.

Concepts importants
You already know what a message group or a task 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, prefixed with the text " ". This is just a marker to make it obvious that a translation needs updating.

When updating translations, be sure to remove the " " text if the translation is okay, otherwise it isn't considered translated by the wiki. In some cases you should even add yourself the " " text to a translation, if you know it is incorrect, but don't know how to fix it. Be careful about the syntax, it must be exactly right. " " may also be added automatically when a new translation is saved, if the automatic checks find likely issues in the translation, like for example unbalanced link syntax missing the other "&#93;" character. You should also get a warning about these when translating.

Les traductions qui ne sont plus à jour des pages traduisibles sont identifiés à l'aide d'une couleur rougeâtre tel que montré dans la capture d'écran. Si vous retournez à la page traduire en cliquant sur le lien dans la description du groupe de message, vous devriez voir que vos traduction y sont déjà présente. La majorité des traductions que vous faites sont appliquées immédiatement à l'exception des messages flous et de quelques groupes de message, comme beaucoup de ceux de translatewiki.net, où la traduction est régulièrement et manuellement exportée par les administrateurs de traduction vers le logiciel où elles sont utilisées.

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.
