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 />

translation.html   15) At this time, German, Danish and Swedish translations are under way.

translation.html   19) Note that we're interested in getting the complete website translated

translation.html   20) for each language, but even a few pages will still be helpful.

translation.html   24) <li>File names should be changed from index.html to index.xx.html, where xx

translation.html   25) is your <a href="http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/IG/ert/iso639.htm">ISO 639</a>

translation.html   26) two letter language code.</li>

translation.html   27) <li>The first line in the translated file should be<br />
translation.html   28) &lt;!-- revision 0.00 --&gt;<br />
translation.html   29) where 0.00 is the revision number of the original page translated, to
translation.html   30) easily spot when a page gets out of date. The revision number is found at

translation.html   31) the bottom on each page -- it is created by CVS so be sure to <a href="developers.html">checkout</a> the latest version of the website.</li>

translation.html   32) 
translation.html   33) <li>The second line in the translated file should be the email address of
translation.html   34) the translator:<br />
translation.html   35) &lt;!-- abc@example.com --&gt;<br />

translation.html   36) so we can get ahold of you if the pages needs to be corrected or updated.</li>

translation.html   37) 

translation.html   38) <li>Translated pages should link to the other translated pages.</li>

translation.html   39) 

translation.html   40) <li>Translated pages should include a note at the top, translated to the
translation.html   41) appropriate language: "Neither the Tor developers nor EFF have reviewed
translation.html   42) this translation for accuracy and correctness. It may be out of date
translation.html   43) or wrong. The official Tor web site is the English version, available
translation.html   44) at http://tor.eff.org/"</li>
translation.html   45) 

translation.html   46) <li>Use valid <a href="http://roselli.org/adrian/articles/character_charts.asp">character entities</a>.

translation.html   47) Even though most browsers display the characters correctly these days, we want
translation.html   48) to be on the safe side, so we don't get bug reports from people who can't
translation.html   49) read the text.</li>
translation.html   50) 
translation.html   51) <li>Keep your translation valid XHTML to minimize the work needed
translation.html   52) before the page is committed to CVS. You can test your code at <a
translation.html   53) href="http://validator.w3.org/">validator.w3.org</a>.</li>
