# '''Islamic sources in your language:''' Are there any Quran, Hadith and Tafsir websites in your language? Let us know (through your talk page or the [[forum]] page) so we can make templates for Quran and hadith in your language. These will be used in the translations.
# '''Which language?''' Let us know on [[Special:Mytalk|your talk page]] or our [[forum]] page which language you're wanting to translate into.
# '''Islamic sources in your language:''' Are there any Quran, Hadith and Tafsir websites in your language? Let us know (through your talk page or the [[forum]] page) so we can make templates for Quran and hadith in your language. These will be used in the translations for quoting Quran and hadith. Quran and hadith translations should ideally:
#* Have URL's that change according to the verse or hadith displayed
#* Should be from translations which are accepted well and regularly referred to by Muslims who know that language
#* Load relatively fast in the browser
#* if possible, have no or little ads
#* if possible, also display Arabic
Sometimes there aren't too many sources for a certain language and we have to use what we have available.
 
Let us know about the sources you know of and we can check to see if they can be used in the templates.
