Template:Translate-status/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Translate-status.
It contains usage information, categories, and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is the base template for translation projects. It is meant to be simpler to use for translators than the Translation2 template is.

(This documentation page is not done, it will be completed later.)

Usage

The template uses a system of subtemplates for projects and languages to give the translators and easy overview of the pages that need to be translated into their language.

Create a new translation project

To create a new translation project, create a subtemplate of this one containing the following parameters:

{{Translate-status/core
| project = <project name>
| language = {{{language|en}}}

| page1 = ''<Page name 1>''
| page2 = ''<Page name 2>''
| page3 = ''<Page name 3>''
...
| page20 = ''<Page name 20>''

| status1 = {{{<Page name 1>|}}}
| status2 = {{{<Page name 2>|}}}
| status3 = {{{<Page name 3>|}}}
...
| status20 = {{{<Page name 20>|}}}
}}

Example

{{Translate-status/core
| project = Fundraising 2011
| language = {{{language|en}}}

| page1 = Core messages
| page2 = Jimmy Appeal 001

| status1 = {{{Core messages|}}}
| status2 = {{{Jimmy Appeal 001|}}}
}}

| <Page name 1>  =
| <Page name 2>  =

...
| <Page name 20> =
}}
