These pages are the most important pages to translate, as they are the most visited pages on the wiki.
To start translating the wiki, the following pages are the first to translate:
#[[Project Zomboid Wiki]] - main page of the wiki, recently reworked, needs to be updated.
#[[MediaWiki:Sidebar]] - This can only be edited by a [[PZwiki:Administrators|PZwiki administrator]]. Please contact one if you want to translate this page.
#[[PZwiki:Community portal]] - main page of the community, recently reworked, needs to be updated.
#[[Project Zomboid Wiki]]
#[[PZwiki:Community portal]]
 
Please check the pages above for your language and translate/update them if they are not translated yet.

===[[Help:Contents|Help pages]]===

As the translating process is updated, help pages need to be updated as well. Basic editing help should be linked to [[mw:Help:Contents|MediaWiki]], PZwiki should only have pages that are specific to the wiki.

*About template code link in translatable pages, it's recommended to use {{tlx|tll}} instead of <code><nowiki><code><nowiki>...&lt;/nowiki>&lt;/code></nowiki></code> to simplify the code and make it easier to translate.
#Add instructions on how to translate the templates. (related templates need to be reworked first)
**For untranslatable pages, use both {{tlx|tlx}} and {{tlx|tll}} are okay.
#Other instructions to be added as needed.

**Pages describing the ingame items' translation should be consistent with the [https://github.com/TheIndieStone/ProjectZomboidTranslations game's translation].

**[[Template:Documentation/sandbox]] - Since the documentation for most templates is not very long, and it is difficult to maintain having translated pages for each template's documentation, an attempt is being made to merge all template documents with template pages. {{tlx|Documentation}} will be replaced by {{tlx|Documentation/sandbox}} eventually.

Welcome to Project Translations, a PZwiki project that aims to improve translations of the wiki pages.

Since PZwiki is an English wiki, the main language of the wiki is English. However, the game is available in many languages, and we want to make the wiki available in as many languages as possible. Currently only a few pages are translated, and we need a better way to manage the translations, which is why this project was created.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on our discussion page.

  2. ↑ Despite Spanish (AR) being a separate language in the game, the Argentinian Spanish is not supported language by MediaWiki, the only other other Spanish language currently available being es-formal. There is also Latin American Spanish (es-419) which is used for some MediaWiki translations, but it's not supported for the interface.

Job board

PlushSpiffo.pngThis section is about a general task list for the whole project. For the progress of specific languages, see #Translation progress.

Most visited pages

To start translating the wiki, the following pages are the first to translate:

  1. MediaWiki:Sidebar - This can only be edited by a PZwiki administrator. Please contact one if you want to translate this page.
  2. Project Zomboid Wiki
  3. PZwiki:Community portal

Please check the pages above for your language and translate/update them if they are not translated yet.

Help pages

As the translating process is updated, help pages need to be updated as well. Basic editing help should be linked to MediaWiki, PZwiki should only have pages that are specific to the wiki.

  • About inner links in translatable pages, it's recommended to use {{ll}} instead of [[foo|bar]] to make links automatically translated.
    • For free links and inner links to untranslatable pages, just use wikitext links.
  • About template code link in translatable pages, it's recommended to use {{tll}} instead of <code><nowiki>...</nowiki></code> to simplify the code and make it easier to translate.
    • For untranslatable pages, use both {{tlx}} and {{tll}} are okay.
  • All translation pages should have {{DISPLAYTITLE}} to display the translated title of the page.
    • Pages describing the ingame items' translation should be consistent with the game's translation.
  • All translation pages should have a {{Translation}} template to check if the page is up to date with the main page. (wip. See User:Vibrance/revision)

Templates

LightBulbYellow.png
All templates of PZwiki are being cleaned up intensively recently, and there may be page corruption. Please wait until the cleanup is complete before continuing to translate the template.
  • Template:Translation guide - Currently all template pages should be translatable, it's recommended to add this template all English template pages' documentation.
    • Template:Documentation/sandbox - Since the documentation for most templates is not very long, and it is difficult to maintain having translated pages for each template's documentation, an attempt is being made to merge all template documents with template pages. {{Documentation}} will be replaced by {{Documentation/sandbox}} eventually.
  • Making all templates translatable using the data from their language code subpages with {{tt}} instead of using {{Translation}}.
  • Since the sidebar has a "Language" section that links to other language versions of current page, the original {{Languages}} template can be remove from all pages.
  • {{Translation}} should only contain essential translation data that will be widely used.

Miscellaneous

  • Add new languages to the wiki (especially the ones that the game comes with).

Technical (sysop)

  • Figure out how to translate some interface elements based on the language chosen in MediaWiki (sidebar, site notice (heavily cached), footer…).
  • To be like MediaWiki, adding full-fledge language support would require the Translate extension (evaluate if it's needed for our use case).
