 ====Templates for Other Languages====
+The translation of the actual article may be finished by this stage, but there are several steps left before the page is ready to be viewed by the public. If this is the first article in a specific language, then the biggest task left is the creation of the various [[:Category:Language Templates|language templates]] that are used within all translations.
 ====Replacing Categories====
 Categories, for example <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Muhammad]]</nowiki></tt> or <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Qur'an]]</nowiki></tt>, can be found at the bottom of pages. All of the English categories should be deleted and replaced by a sole category for the [[:Category:Other Languages|translated language]], for example <tt><nowiki>[[Category:العربية (Arabic)]]</nowiki></tt> or <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Türkçe (Turkish)]]</nowiki></tt>.
+Alternatively, the English categories on the page may also be translated, but if this is done, any [[:Category:This is a red-colored category link indicating an internal link to a category page that does not exist|red-colored category links]] must not be left behind i.e. the translator must also translate the English-language category pages and recreate them with all of their formatting intact for the translated language.
