Multilingualism

Note: This policy page is not community-approved yet. These rules hold no value yet.

Advtrains is formed of a diverse worldwide community. This means that a large portion of the people working on Advtrains are multilingual. If you wish to work on translations:

• Keep to pages which should not change over time, such as those in Events. Try to find the most past-tense pages. Translations of documentation should be avoided as there is no system to keep translations in sync.
• Put the (lowercase) language code in square brackets before the name of the article.
• Keep the translation as accurate to the original as possible; translation should be an invisible art.
• Discussions should be kept in English; discussions on multiple language pages can become easily out of sync if not updated quickly enough.
• Translations to Advtrains' in-game UI is currently managed on the l10n branch. You can contribute there by sending patches to the mailing list. Please read advtrains/locale/README.md first.
