Guidelines For Translations

How to tranlate

  • Index pages are in the docs folder the english version is index.md if we like to tranlate to another language we need to name the page index.<language code>.md. For example index.fr.md, the correct codes are in mkdocs.md The book images have to be created in a folder in mkdocs with the language code Ex: nl, fr
  • Translation of the menu can be done in mkdocs.yml. Create the option nav_translations: and translate the menu structure. Example:
- locale: nl
  name: Nederlands
  build: true
  nav_translations:
    Welcome: Welkom
    Getting started: Aan de slag
    The basics: De basis
    Problem detection: Probleem detectie
  • If you like to translate a page then create a file with the same name as the original but add the country code before .md Ex : Requirements.md will become Requirements.nl.md. If you don't make screenshots with translations then use the same images in the image dir.
  • If you like to add new screenshots create a new folder image. Ex: image/ becomes image.nl/

How to write a topic

  • All is written in markdown , HTML is supported but try to avoid if not needed
  • Start the page with the Header #
  • When you write a topic start with an introduction what the topic is about
  • Give an overview of the topics that you will cover
  • Add visuals if possible this explains better to people how things work
  • Create a how to so that people see how they can do this
  • place the images in a /image folder
    • You can use the english screenshots in the image folder or create your own screenshots in local language use /image. ex: /image.fr
  • Close every topic with --- this will draw a horizontal line

Translation Table

  • This table can be used to track what has been finished and is ready for translation. For this we mark the page with ✅.
  • Once other languages are translated we mark them with 🏁
  • In case a page gets updated with new information after pages are already translated we mark the page with and remove the 🏁 from the tranlated pages.

  • Webpage is ready for translation: ✅
  • Webpage is translated : 🏁
  • Webpage has been updated after translation:
  • Webpage is still not finished : 🚧
Note

Please don't update this table this is for reference only when doing translations. I will maintain this table when I add new topics or merge changes.
