WikiIslam:Translations: Difference between revisions

Another way which might help some translators is to copy the text of the article into an external editor which highlights the WikiIslam syntax, so you are able to focus just on the text itself. This system gives you a better control when translating more complex articles and it speeds up the translation in general. You can for example download [http://notepad-plus-plus.org Notepad++] and install the [http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/commun/userDefinedLang/Mediawiki_SL.xml user defined language] which highlights the WikiIslam syntax (this particular user defined language was created by a WikiIslam translator). After you finish editing in the external editor, simply paste the translation back to WikiIslam.  

If these steps are difficult to follow, you can leave a message on the [[forum]] page with the name of the article you would like to translate and the new title of your translated version. An administrator will make a page for you with that new title with the existing English text that you can translate. Remember to save your work as you go (see the [[Help:Contents#Saving_your_Work|tips for saving your work]]).
