To do this, you should look for a note at the top that says “Translate Page.” If you don’t, this means that an admin needs to mark the page as available for translation. If it’s not marked yet, send us an email (gynopediawiki@gmail.com) and we can quickly fix the issue. Once it’s marked, there should be a message to “Translate This Page.” One important note: When a page is “Marked for Translation,” this means that the content displayed ''at the time of its marking'' will be translated. If you make any changes to the original page, you will need to mark the page for translation ''again'' in order to see the changes reflected in the Translate view. | 3. Once you have landed on the page, you should first REVIEW the content of the page. You’ll be translating all of the content, so you want to ensure that the information is accurate, up-to-date, and comprehensible. If you DO notice that there’s an error or something that should be updated, please click “Edit” to add any changes. Once you’re done, please contact us (gynopediawiki@gmail.com), and we'll mark this new version as being ready for translation. | ||
