translation.html   12) If you want to help translate the Tor website and documentation into

translation.html   13) other languages, here are some basic guidelines to help you do this

translation.html   14) as efficiently as possible.<br />

en/translation.wml 15) At this time, we have an actively maintained German translation, and we
en/translation.wml 16) have an old Italian translation and we're looking for a maintainer.

en/translation.wml 25) <li>Look in <a
en/translation.wml 26) href="http://tor.eff.org/cvs/website/en/">http://tor.eff.org/cvs/website/en/</a>
en/translation.wml 27) for a set of ".wml" files. The most important ones to
en/translation.wml 28) translate are index.wml, overview.wml, download.wml,

en/translation.wml 29) documentation.wml, foot.wml, and navigation.wml. You are welcome to translate

en/translation.wml 30) more pages than this if you would like. You can look at <a
en/translation.wml 31) href="http://tor.eff.org/cvs/website/de/">http://tor.eff.org/cvs/website/de/</a>
en/translation.wml 32) for examples of the desired translation formats.</li>

en/translation.wml 34) #<li>File names should be changed from index.html to index.xx.html, where xx
en/translation.wml 35) #is your <a href="http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/IG/ert/iso639.htm">ISO 639</a>

translation.html   38) <li>The first line in the translated file should be<br />

en/translation.wml 39) \# Based-On-Revision: 1.4<br />
en/translation.wml 40) where 1.4 is the revision number of the original page translated, to

translation.html   41) easily spot when a page gets out of date. The revision number is found at

en/translation.wml 42) the top on each page -- it is created by CVS so be sure to

en/translation.wml 43) <a href="<page developers>">checkout</a> the latest version of the website.</li>

en/translation.wml 44) 

translation.html   45) <li>The second line in the translated file should be the email address of
translation.html   46) the translator:<br />

en/translation.wml 47) \# Last-Translator: abc@example.com<br />

translation.html   48) so we can get ahold of you if the pages needs to be corrected or updated.</li>

translation.html   49) 

en/translation.wml 50) <li>We would also like some translations for the diagrams on
en/translation.wml 51) <a href="<page overview>">the overview page</a>. You can just send us
en/translation.wml 52) the text that should go in the diagrams, and we'll take care of making
en/translation.wml 53) new versions of the pictures.</li>
en/translation.wml 54) 

translation.html   55) <li>Translated pages should link to the other translated pages.</li>

translation.html   56) 

en/translation.wml 57) <li>Translated pages should include a note in foot.wml, translated to the

translation.html   58) appropriate language: "Neither the Tor developers nor EFF have reviewed
translation.html   59) this translation for accuracy and correctness. It may be out of date
translation.html   60) or wrong. The official Tor web site is the English version, available
translation.html   61) at http://tor.eff.org/"</li>
translation.html   62) 

translation.html   63) <li>Use valid <a href="http://roselli.org/adrian/articles/character_charts.asp">character entities</a>.

translation.html   64) Even though most browsers display the characters correctly these days, we want
translation.html   65) to be on the safe side, so we don't get bug reports from people who can't
translation.html   66) read the text.</li>
translation.html   67) 
translation.html   68) <li>Keep your translation valid XHTML to minimize the work needed
translation.html   69) before the page is committed to CVS. You can test your code at <a
translation.html   70) href="http://validator.w3.org/">validator.w3.org</a>.</li>
