'''Wikipedia Library Card Platform''' ([https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/ homepage]) provides free access to research materials to improve your ability to contribute content to Wikimedia projects. The website is powered by an open source Django project called [https://github.com/WikipediaLibrary/TWLight TWLight].

== Translation notes ==
* Wikipedia Library Card Platform has documentation on running a local development version in the [https://github.com/WikipediaLibrary/TWLight/wiki/Getting-Started Getting Started] guide.
* TWLight is based on Django 3.2, which has its own [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/topics/i18n/translation/ localization documentation].

== How to test translations in a local development environment ==

Once you have twlight_vagrant running and have SSHed into the guest, you can start working with translations. Replace XXX (twice) with your language code.

<syntaxhighlight lang=bash>
# Place where translations are stored within vagrant
cd /var/www/html/TWLight/locale/XXX/LC_MESSAGES/

# Edit translations:
vim django.po

# Compile updated translations.
sudo -u www /var/www/html/TWLight/bin/virtualenv_translate.sh

# Restart web application service
sudo systemctl restart gunicorn

# Select language from preferences (if you have created a user) in the local website or just set the preferred language via your browser settings or extension.
</syntaxhighlight>
