OMGWiki:Language Policy

From OMGWiki

For multilingual articles see the language category.

This page describes the current multi-lingual policy on OMG:Wiki.

Creation

Within the page namespace we are building a set of public domain multi-lingual pages. The aim is to provide a basic set of multi-lingual pages that will allow users to use the Wiki in their primary language. Pages should be translated into as many languages as possible.

• English is the main reference language, and all root pages should be named and written in English.
• Other languages should be placed in an appropriately named sub-page of the English version. E.g. the French version of Help:Contents should be at Help:Contents/fr (not Help:Sommaire, Aide:Sommaire or Help:Sommaire/fr).
• Language sub-pages should be named using the appropriate language code for that language (see below).
• Sub-pages should only be used for translations into other languages, not for English content (e.g. you shouldn't use Table editing/example - use Table editing example or Example of table editing instead).
• If an international version of a page exists but an English version does not, then please create a stub article for the English version as this aids navigation.
• All pages in the help namespace should be tagged with the {{Languages}} template, which automatically creates links to all available translations.
