translation.html   20) Note that we're interested in getting the complete website translated

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 <code>index.wml</code>, <code>overview.wml</code>,
en/translation.wml 29) <code>download.wml</code>, <code>documentation.wml</code>,
en/translation.wml 30) <code>foot.wmi</code>, and <code>navigation.wml</code>.
en/translation.wml 31) You are welcome to translate

en/translation.wml 32) more pages than this if you would like. You can look at <a
en/translation.wml 33) href="http://tor.eff.org/cvs/website/de/">http://tor.eff.org/cvs/website/de/</a>
en/translation.wml 34) for examples of the desired translation formats.</li>

translation.html   40) <li>The first line in the translated file should be<br />

en/translation.wml 41) \# Based-On-Revision: 1.4<br />
en/translation.wml 42) where 1.4 is the revision number of the original page translated, to

translation.html   43) easily spot when a page gets out of date. The revision number is found at

en/translation.wml 44) the top on each page -- it is created by CVS so be sure to

en/translation.wml 45) <a href="<page developers>">checkout</a> the latest version of the website.</li>

en/translation.wml 46) 

translation.html   47) <li>The second line in the translated file should be the email address of
translation.html   48) the translator:<br />

en/translation.wml 49) \# Last-Translator: abc@example.com<br />

translation.html   50) so we can get ahold of you if the pages needs to be corrected or updated.</li>

translation.html   51) 

en/translation.wml 52) <li>We would also like some translations for the diagrams on
en/translation.wml 53) <a href="<page overview>">the overview page</a>. You can just send us
en/translation.wml 54) the text that should go in the diagrams, and we'll take care of making
en/translation.wml 55) new versions of the pictures.</li>
en/translation.wml 56) 

translation.html   57) <li>Translated pages should link to the other translated pages.</li>

translation.html   58) 

en/translation.wml 59) <li>Translated pages should include a note in foot.wml, translated to the

translation.html   60) appropriate language: "Neither the Tor developers nor EFF have reviewed
translation.html   61) this translation for accuracy and correctness. It may be out of date
translation.html   62) or wrong. The official Tor web site is the English version, available
translation.html   63) at http://tor.eff.org/"</li>
translation.html   64) 

translation.html   65) <li>Use valid <a href="http://roselli.org/adrian/articles/character_charts.asp">character entities</a>.

translation.html   66) Even though most browsers display the characters correctly these days, we want
translation.html   67) to be on the safe side, so we don't get bug reports from people who can't
translation.html   68) read the text.</li>
translation.html   69) 
translation.html   70) <li>Keep your translation valid XHTML to minimize the work needed
translation.html   71) before the page is committed to CVS. You can test your code at <a
translation.html   72) href="http://validator.w3.org/">validator.w3.org</a>.</li>
