==== | ====Choosing an Article==== | ||
==== | Once logged in, new translators should decide on what article to translate. There are many [[WikiIslam:Translations#Articles_to_Translate|recommended articles]] to choose from on the "WikiIslam:Translations" page. These select articles serve as a showcase for the general quality the site aims for. | ||
Alternatively, an article from the topics listed on the [[WikiIslam:Site Map|site map]] can be chosen. However, before beginning translation work on an article not in the "recommended" list, it is advisable for new translators to leave a message on the Translation Project's [[WikiIslam:Forum/Translation Project|forum page]] or on their own talk page mentioning what they would like to translate. This allows administrators to make sure a project that is difficult to complete or is not optimal in some way is not started. | |||
It is also recommended that new translators check that their article of choice has not already been translated into that particular language. All translations can be accessed via the sidebar to the left, under the "Translations" heading. | |||
