<h2>Tor: Translation guidelines</h2>
<hr />

<p>
If you want to help out translate this website into other languages,
some basic guidelines has been established in order to do this
as efficiently as possible.<br />
At this time, German, Danish and Swedish translations is under way.
</p>

<p>
Before you start translating, note that we're interested in getting
the complete website translated. Not just one or two individual pages.
</p>

<ol>
<li>File names should be changed from index.html to index.xx.html, where xx
is the <a href="http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/IG/ert/iso639.htm">ISO 639</a>, 
two letter, country code.</li>
<li>The first line in the translated file should be<br />
&lt;!-- revision 0.00 --&gt;<br />
where 0.00 is the revision number of the original page translated, to
easily spot when a page gets out of date. The revision number is found at
the bottom on each page. Be sure to checkout the CVS to get the latest 
version of the website, you can find more information on how to do this 
<a href="developers.html">here</a>.</li>

<li>The second line in the translated file should be the email address of
the translator:<br />
&lt;!-- abc@example.com --&gt;<br />
so we can get a hold of you if the pages needs to be corrected or updated.</li>

<li>Translated pages should link to the other translated pages,
except the logo which should always link to http://tor.eff.org.</li>

<li>Use valid <a href="http://roselli.org/adrian/articles/character_charts.asp">character entities</a>.
Even though most browsers displays the characters correct these days, we want 
to be on the safe side. We don't want to get loads of bug reports saying that
they can't read the text.</li>
 
<li>Keep your translation valid XHTML to minimize the work needed before the page
is commited to the CVS. You can test your code at <a href="http://validator.w3.org/">
validator.w3.org</a>.</li>
</ol>
