Translation Instructions
When translating texts on WikiTree+, it is done by paragraphs. That enables retranslating only the parts of the page if only some part of original change.
Each page had 3 additional texts at the beginning.
- PAGENAME + Notes: This is not included in the created pages. It is just to write some notes for future translators.
- PAGENAME + Translator: This is included in the translation navigator. Kind of copyright notice.
- PAGENAME: This is an important one. It represents the page name and is hard to change after the page is created. Try to get it correctly the first time. If you need to change it, let me (Aleš) know to adjust the page name in the database.
On each translation, you must be careful about Wiki Formatting. It must remain identical as in source text.
- Captions: number of = signs on the beginning and the end must remain the same.
- == English Caption ==
- == Translated Caption ==
- Captions: Guideline is that level 2 == sections should use "Title Case", while level 3 === should use "Sentence case."
