Welcome to Project Translations, a PZwiki project that aims to improve translations of the wiki pages. If you just want to help translating the wiki, then go to this page for help.

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.

Anyone is welcome to join by adding the contributor userbox to their profile from the contributors section below.

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 This language is currently unavailable in game.
  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 Help: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.

Pages ready to be translated

Since the wiki is under a major cleanup, some pages are not ready to be translated yet. Here is a list for pages that are ready to be translated. The reason that pages are not ready to be translated maybe related to other projects. Please wait until the cleanup is complete before continuing to translate the page.

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 will only have pages that are specific to the wiki.

  • Considering creating a translation guide for the wiki.
  • Since the language bar is considering to be removed, the statistics of each language will not be counted. So we may need to create a new page to show the statistics of each language instead of #Translation progress (e.g., Translation progress from TF2 wiki).

Translation guide

  • 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 {{Revision}} template to check if the page is up-to-date with the English page. (This mbox seems not that useful as expected, maybe remove it in the future.)

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 removed from all pages.
  • {{Translation}} should only contain essential translation data that will be widely used.
  • Replace uses of {{T}}, {{Subpage}} and {{Img_item}} templates with {{ll}} and {{lcs}}, retire {{Translation}} (just waiting for template removal), (ideally keep all the translations already done), ideally before language extension will be tested.
    • Decide on and consistently use {{ll}} and {{lcs}} in the pages. Figure out if we need any more templates like these.
  • Figure out if {{ll}} can use the sort key when used for categories.

Miscellaneous

  • Add new languages to the wiki (especially the ones that the game comes with).
  • When all the language main pages will be updated to the new layout, clean up all the old templates remaining after old main page except screenshots which may be useful for later (decide which ones to keep and potentially clear them). Currently not fully removing all of the pages just in case red link translations will want to be re-purposed.
