| A [[Main_Page|main page's]] worth of translations (about 25-35 full-length articles) is the amount of material required before considering to launch a new sub-domain in any language. Although WikiIslam's [[WikiIslam:Core Principles|Core Principles]] will remain, once these initial translations are completed, the new sub-domains are free to evolve separately to the English site.
| | The creation of new sub-domains is under the control of WikiIslam staff. New domains will be added according to organizational goals. To request a new language, please contact and [[administrator]]. |
| | |
| One of the key rules to follow when translating these pre-sub-domain articles is that they should always remain absolutely faithful to the original English work, retaining their scholarly tone and information. The reason for accurate translations to begin with is that it allows new editors in that particular language to understand the style, tone, and quality that is expected in all languages.
| |
| | |
| It also allows existing administrators to see if there are any users (at least one regular and reliable editor) who would be suitable and willing to take on the responsibility of guiding the future direction of that sub-domain. To be an administrator at this site or one of its sub-domains, an editor must demonstrate that they fully understand and are willing to uphold the policies and guidelines concerning style, tone, and quality.
| |
| | |
| Editors are expected to take a scholarly and rational approach in their conduct and criticisms, adhering to stringent rules concerning the content of articles. Material should always be tailored to accommodate, as best as possible, a universal audience, and they should contain no politics, no promotion of religions/worldviews and no opinions, only referenced facts.

| Those who would like to see a WikiIslam sub-domain in their language are advised to join the [[WikiIslam:Discussions/Translation Project|WikiIslam Translation Project]] and start translating articles.
