Each language has its very own hub page, e.g., French has "[[Les_articles_en_francais_-_Articles_in_French|Les articles en français (Articles in French)]]," and Turkish has "[[Turkce_Makaleler_-_Articles_in_Turkish|Türkçe Makaleler (Articles in Turkish)]]". This hub page is linked from the side-bar on the left (when there are two or more completed articles) and is the first link to be found under the "See Also" link on translated articles. So a hub page that translates the text within these other hub pages (minus the linked articles) and retains their formatting must be created by the translator in the language of the new translation. | Each language has its very own hub page, e.g., French has "[[Les_articles_en_francais_-_Articles_in_French|Les articles en français (Articles in French)]]," and Turkish has "[[Turkce_Makaleler_-_Articles_in_Turkish|Türkçe Makaleler (Articles in Turkish)]]". This hub page is linked from the side-bar on the left (when there are two or more completed articles) and is the first link to be found under the "See Also" link on translated articles. So a hub page that translates the text within these other hub pages (minus the linked articles) and retains their formatting must be created by the translator in the language of the new translation. | ||
=====Original Article's "See Also" Section===== | |||
Next, underneath the new hub page link (press "Enter" twice on the keyboard to leave a single empty space), there should be created the bolded text reading, "'''English'''". Obviously this must be rendered in the translation's language i.e. if it is an Azerbaijani translation, it should read, "'''İngilis'''" ("İngilis" being the Azerbaijani translation for the English word, "English"). Underneath this title should be all of the original links found under the English article's "See Also" section. Again, pressing "Enter" twice on the keyboard to leave a single empty space, this is where the main "Translation-links" template is found. | |||

All that should be left by this stage, is to create the necessary links to and from the new translation. To do this, translators first need to go back to the original English article's "Translation-links" template. For example, in the "[[72_Virgins#See_Also|72 Virgins]]" article's "Translation-links" template, they will find, | |||
:"<tt><nowiki>{{Translation-links-english|[[72_Huri_-_Bakirə|Azerbaijani]], [[72_Pannen|Czech]], [[72 Jungfrauen|German]], [[72 Huri - Bakire|Turkish]], [[Le 72 vergini|Italian]]}}</nowiki></tt>" | |||
They must add (while retaining the alphabetical order) a link from this template to the new translation (e.g. "<tt><nowiki>, [[Link to new translation|New language's name in English]]</nowiki></tt>"). This process must then be repeated on each translation's page (e.g. for the 72 Virgins article, that would mean going to the Azerbaijani, Czech, German, Turkish and Italian translations and adding a link in their individual "Translation-links" templates to the new translation, all while remembering to use the new language's name in each of their native languages). | |||
Once this is done, the new article's own "Translation-links" templates needs to be filled in with links to all of the other translation (these links should obviously be named using the new language's native titles). | |||
As a final step, the new translator should contact an [[:Category:Administrators|administrator]] and let them know that a new translation has been fully completed and is ready to be viewed by visitors to the site. The administrator will then check the new translation and provide feedback. If all of the steps on this page have been correctly followed, they will then announce this on the main page by adding a link to the "Miscellaneous" section of "[[WikiIslam:Latest Translations]]." | |||
