VisualEditor/TranslationCentral

Welcome to VisualEditor Translation Central!

Localizing documentation
Many of our small wikis have no documentation about VE at all. We need volunteers to translate help pages, user guides, and notifications. See Localization for detailed instructions on how to help with this effort (and don't forget to record your progress on the progress page!)

Updating help pages
Each wiki has its own collection of help pages. When the VE is rolled out to the smaller wikis, it is important that the help pages are updated with information about VE, and links to translated user guides. If you've done some of this work for your wiki, please remember to update the Progress page.

Feedback
The VE development team wants to hear from Wikipedia editors about their experiences with VE, improvements they want, and problems they are having. It's important that the editors of our smaller wikis have their opinions heard too. Each wiki needs a place for editors to post feedback. This could be a dedicated "feedback page" like the one on English, or simply a VisualEditor page with a Talk page that can be monitored for messages.

Translating the VE interface
The interface of the VisualEditor itself must also be translated. This work is being done at Translatewiki.net. Find help page for this work, or link to helpful expert

TemplateData
Most of of our articles use templates in some form. The VisualEditor has a template editor, but, for it to be user friendly, it needs to know what parameters the template supports. VE uses TemplateData to discover the supported parameters. However, TemplateData must be added to the template's documentation for this to happen. Every wiki has its own templates; it's very important that each gets TemplateData added to it. For an explanation of TemplateData, see our TemplateData main page, and our tutorial for detailed instructions on how to add it.
