-Another way that 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 method can make translating more complex articles easier and speed 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.
+An additional step that might help some translators is to turn on WikEd, which is a full-featured MediaWiki-integrated text editor. WikEd adds enhanced text processing functions, such as highlighting the WikiIslam syntax, so editors are able to focus more easily on the text itself. To turn this feature on, got to "Preferences", click on the "Gadgets" tab, then check mark "WikEd".
-If these steps are difficult to follow, you can leave a message on the [[WikiIslam:Forum/Translation Project|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]]).
+If these steps are difficult to follow, a message can be left on the [[WikiIslam:Forum/Translation Project|forum]] page with the name of the English article and its new translated title. An administrator will then create a page using the new title filled with the existing English text ready to be translated. Editors should remember to save their progress regularly to avoid any unforeseeable errors  (see some [[Help:Contents#Saving_your_Work|tips for saving work]]).
