New translators
For beginners, it is best to start the translation of any message on a page where another translator already has started to translate.
The original translator is very likely to track your edit, so your translations will probably soon be checked.
If there are any mistakes in your work, they fix it.
It is one of more good reasons, for the
watching pages
.
For advanced translators
If you want to learn more on how to prepare a page for translation, visit
Page translation example
.
At the end of this work, you need to wait until the prepared page is processed by the
Translation administrator
who marks this page for translation.
Translation administrators
Only users in the group
Translate administrator
may mark pages for translation.
If you have waited for a page to be marked a certain amount of time, you may request any user in
this list
to do it.
