Wiki Translation
Wiki Translate Extension
The translation of our BeNeLux Wiki pages is done with the help of the Translate extension.
- BeNeLux Wiki pages that start with the simple "languages" tag start with a language selection bar.
- The base text of each page, that needs translation, is enclosed in translate tags..
- The extension splits the indicated base text into paragraph sized units and creates a message group for them. One page would be one message group, where, in the simplest form, each paragraph would be one message in that group.
- You can have links automatically go to the user's preferred language version (only) when it exists, by using links of the form a page link with Special:MyLanguage/Pagename.
