Help:Extension:Translate/Translation example/it



Benvenuto, glorioso traduttore. Abbiamo molto lavoro da fare, quindi vediamo le basi velocemente così che tu possa iniziare il più presto possibile. Dopo questo tutorial saprai come usare il tuo toolset personale di traduzione. Gli effetti sono permanenti, quindi se non vuoi imparare ad utilizzarli, per favore interrompi la lettura adesso.

Speriamo che da ovunque tu provenga, gli amministratori della traduzione abbiano già settato qualcosa da tradurre. Questo tutorial usa la pagina Fréttinga che è stata creata in tutorial for translation administrators. Le cose che apprenderai qui non dipendono da quella particolare pagina, e si applicano a tutto ciò che si può tradurre con questo strumento.

Forse hai già un link di qualcuno che ti ha chiesto di tradurre qualcosa. Se non è così, puoi controllare Special:LanguageStats, the translator dashboard, nel tuo wiki per trovare qualcosa da tradurre. Se vuoi solo vedere come funziona in generale, puoi continuare a leggere e guardare gli screenshot per avere un'idea su di esso.

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. Vai alla pagina Fréttinga.
 * 2a. Clicca sul link "Translate this page" (se non è presente tu non hai il permesso di tradurre).

Oppure puoi provare:


 * 1b. Vai a translator dashboard.
 * 2b. Clicca sul nome di uno qualsiasi dei gruppi di messaggi che hanno uno o più messaggi non tradotti.

I messaggi da tradurre sono raggruppati per "gruppo messaggi" : Ogni pagina traducibie è un gruppo messaggi, ma ci possono essere anche altri tipi di gruppo messaggi.


 * 3. Scegli un linguaggio diverso dal linguaggio originale (che normalmente è English oppure  ).

Editor delle Traduzioni
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.

Vista di traduzione
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.

Tutti i gruppi di messaggi funzionano allo stesso modo, e non c'è bisogno di preoccuparsi troppo. La cosa importante è che è sempre necessario scegliere un gruppo di messaggi sul quale lavorare, e cose come le statistiche e le percentuali di completamento sono calcolate a livello di messaggio di gruppo. 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.

Concetti importanti
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.
