This project deals with converting articles from the '''Battlestar Wiki''' into other languages.
This project deals with converting articles from the ''Battlestar Wiki'' into other languages and how to accomplish that task.


== Overview ==
== Overview ==
Presently, all of the content on this wiki is in [[Wikipedia:English language|english]] — American english, to be specific.  We have people who view this Wiki from other countries, as far away as Europe and Asia.  And likely further.


Presently, all of the content on this wiki is in [[Wikipedia:English language|english]] -- American english, to be specific.  We have people who view this Wiki from other countries, as far away as Europe. And likely further.
Therefore, this is a formal effort to recruit mutlilingual contributors and organize these contributors to translate our documents in other languages. Once there is enough translations of a particular translation, the Battlestar Wiki, as a group, will sit down and see if there is cause enough for a full language site with the "battlestarwiki.org" domain name.


Therefore, this is a formal effort to recruit mutli-lingual contributors and organize these contributors to translate our documents in other languages.  
Currently we have these official sub-language projects with there status.

Every language starts out with at least two sysops approved by the English administrators. Afterwards the wiki must hold their own [[BW:RFA|RFA]] hearings.
 
If you want to help out with any or all of these language wikis, please goto those sites. Keep in mind that you will have to refer to this Wiki for policy questions.
 
__FORCETOC__


== How to Begin ==
== How to Begin ==
Since we don't (yet) have a setup similar to Wikipedia (where Wikipedia has individal German, Italian, and Spanish editions of Wikipedia), here is how translated articles can be added.


To begin, create a subpage of the article you wish to translate.  For instance, let's say you were going to tackle the article on [[The Fleet (RDM)|The Fleet]] and translate it into Spanish.  Here's how you would begin:
To begin, create a subpage of the article you wish to translate.  For instance, let's say you were going to tackle the article on [[The Fleet (RDM)|The Fleet]] and translate it into Spanish.  Here's how you would begin:


* In the search box, type in:  
* In the search box, type in:  
*: The Fleet/es:La Flota
*: The Fleet/'''es''':La Flota
* Press "Go".  Select "create this article" option.
* Press "Go".  Select "create this article" option.
* Begin translating the article.  Once done, list the article on this page under Articles Translated.
* Begin translating the article.  Once done, list the article on this page under Articles Translated.


Once there are a growing number of articles, Joe will then set up an invidiual BSG Wiki for that language. (i.e. de.battlestarwiki.org for German BSG Wiki, et al.).
Once there are a growing number of articles, Joe or Shane will then set up an individual BSG Wiki for that language. (i.e. [[:de:Main Page|de.battlestarwiki.org]] for German BSG Wiki, et al.). '''Never, ever, place interwiki links on these subpages.'''
 
== Articles Needing Translation ==
 
Obviously our eventual goal is to have just about everything translated. Rather than listing every page here, this can be used to request critical pages for translators to focus on.
 
These three should be the first ones done.
* [[Battlestar Wiki:Spoiler Policy]] - All languages.
* [[Battlestar Wiki:Standards and Conventions]] - All languages.
* [[Battlestar Wiki:Citation Jihad]] - All languages.
 
There are others to be translated as well that need to be translated before you can even get your own-wiki. Please take a look at the list [[Battlestar Wiki:Translation Project/Required Translations for Own Wiki|here]]. If you can prove that you can deicated a full force of at least 5-10 people to translating all the required information, we will create a language wiki without question and import all your work to the language wiki. Articles still needing translations from the current languages we support are located [[Special:Withoutinterwiki|here]].
 
It is suggested you start from the oldest episodes and articles first before you more to articles that always under going edits.
 
There are [[BW:SAC|standards and conventions]] for translating. Please read this before doing anything.
 
=== Who is admin of these wikis during setup? ===
Joe and Shane will be the two overall admins (B-crats, Sysop, checkuser), but you will have to decide as a group who will represent your language.
 
== Language Specific Spoiler Checkpoints ==
''Feel free to adjust the title of this section.''
This section is intended to be a handy place to keep track of how far the series has progressed in the particular languages, in order to avoid translating spoiler content over from the English side. Only languages that are translating in conjunction with the ''English Wiki'' are listed here.

Articles that have begun the translation process. They could use more content translated or another eye to look at it (or both).
*[[:Category:Babelfish]] - This is an experiment to expand some of the foreign language content.
*French
**[[33/fr:33 minutes]]

**[[Battlestar Wiki:Spoiler Policy/de:Spoiler Richtlinien]]
**[[Template:Episode  List (de)]]
**[[Basestar (TOS)/de:Basisstern (TOS)]] - I cleaned up, linked, categorized, moved to correct name (I think). Somebody needs to double check my linking (since I don't speak German), and possibly add the disambig line at the top pointing to the (RDM) basestars (since we're focusing on the RDM content initially).
*Spanish
**[[Miniseries/es:Miniserie]] - (overview, backplot, questions, noteworthy dialogue and cast translated)
**[[Bastille Day/es:Día de la Bastilla]] - (almost completed, except for the notes)
**[[Battlestar Wiki:Standards and Conventions/es:Battlestar Wiki:Estándares y Convenios]]
**[[Template:Characters (es)]] - almost complete but for the Characters link. Will go around it once that other page is translated. Will probably translate the page title too then.

**[[Battlestar Wiki:Standards and Conventions/jp:バ ツスタ-ヰキ:標準及び大会]] - Just started and my translation is a bit rough but I think it will be ok for just beginning.  I should be able to refine it a little more later.  Leobon I can use any help you can give me, thanks.
<!--
***I have noticed that I can translate a lot of these articles into Japanese.  I have the vocabulary, what I don't know I can look up, but my grammar isn't there.  Is this a project that I should be pursuing if my grammar isn't 100%?  I feel like even if I wasn't on completely, I could still save whoever comes (maybe no one) after me.  If I had the articles mostly translated they'll have to fix parts of an article rather than translating and writing entire articles.  Before I continue on with anything else I wanted to see what my fellow bsg wikipedians think.  please respond on my talk page [[User Talk:Zarek Rocks]], I'll be posting this there as well.  Thank you all for your advice, it's really appreciated.

This page is one of Battlestar Wiki's many projects.
This page serves to coordinate discussion on a particular aspect of this Wiki. The formal recommendations of a project may be treated as policies.
Shortcut:
BW:i18n


This project deals with converting articles from the Battlestar Wiki into other languages and how to accomplish that task.

Overview

Presently, all of the content on this wiki is in english — American english, to be specific. We have people who view this Wiki from other countries, as far away as Europe and Asia. And likely further.

Therefore, this is a formal effort to recruit mutlilingual contributors and organize these contributors to translate our documents in other languages. Once there is enough translations of a particular translation, the Battlestar Wiki, as a group, will sit down and see if there is cause enough for a full language site with the "battlestarwiki.org" domain name.

Currently we have these official sub-language projects with there status.

This article or section has been marked for cleanup and revision.
Should there be a need to discuss the merits of the claim, discuss them on the talk page.


Wiki Current Status Main Sysops
Deutsch / German Wiki Active Enabran (en)
Español / Spanish Wiki Inactive Baltar Gaiolas (en)
Français / French Wiki Active LIMAFOX76 (en)
Bahasa Melayu / Malay Wiki Inactive Starkiller (en)
Türkçe / Turkish Wiki Inactive Hudd (en)
Redlinetheturk (en)
中文 / Chinese Wiki Inactive SuperMMX (en)

Every language starts out with at least two sysops approved by the English administrators. Afterwards the wiki must hold their own RFA hearings.

If you want to help out with any or all of these language wikis, please goto those sites. Keep in mind that you will have to refer to this Wiki for policy questions.


How to Begin

To begin, create a subpage of the article you wish to translate. For instance, let's say you were going to tackle the article on The Fleet and translate it into Spanish. Here's how you would begin:

  • In the search box, type in:
    The Fleet/es:La Flota
  • Press "Go". Select "create this article" option.
  • Begin translating the article. Once done, list the article on this page under Articles Translated.

Once there are a growing number of articles, Joe or Shane will then set up an individual BSG Wiki for that language. (i.e. de.battlestarwiki.org for German BSG Wiki, et al.). Never, ever, place interwiki links on these subpages.

Articles Needing Translation

Obviously our eventual goal is to have just about everything translated. Rather than listing every page here, this can be used to request critical pages for translators to focus on.

These three should be the first ones done.

There are others to be translated as well that need to be translated before you can even get your own-wiki. Please take a look at the list here. If you can prove that you can deicated a full force of at least 5-10 people to translating all the required information, we will create a language wiki without question and import all your work to the language wiki. Articles still needing translations from the current languages we support are located here.

It is suggested you start from the oldest episodes and articles first before you more to articles that always under going edits.

There are standards and conventions for translating. Please read this before doing anything.

Who is admin of these wikis during setup?

Joe and Shane will be the two overall admins (B-crats, Sysop, checkuser), but you will have to decide as a group who will represent your language.

Language Specific Spoiler Checkpoints

Feel free to adjust the title of this section. This section is intended to be a handy place to keep track of how far the series has progressed in the particular languages, in order to avoid translating spoiler content over from the English side. Only languages that are translating in conjunction with the English Wiki are listed here.
