MediaWiki:Bw-mainpage-translation-text

Over 180 localisations of MediaWiki and its extensions use  as a convenient translation medium, as well as for coordination and maintenance. Mantis, FreeCol and Mwlib.rl can also be translated in. More projects are welcome!

You can participate in the translation effort into a language you know, and even start a new language translation on this wiki. The translations of the MediaWiki interface into new languages for requested projects of the Wikimedia Foundation are also done here.

Consult the following resources for a quick way to get you started on the translation effort:
 * Registration — need to register to begin;
 * Translating Intro — a quick intro into the process;
 * Overview — an overview of the whole thing;
 * Translator privileges — need this to actually translate;
 * Languages — that are worked on;
 * Localisation guidelines — what to translate;
 * #mediawiki-i18n — the IRC channel on Freenode. Here you can ask questions in live format.
