Thanks to Alex Nordlund for helping to vet these procedures and for the Swedish translation!
There are two areas of the wiki that are available for translation: The wiki content itself, and the wiki menus.
Translating the wiki content
Translating wiki content is straightforward, as there are no special procedures in place other than some page-naming procedures (see below). Under consideration is a system in which translators can optionally register for a language/languages, and the system will notify them whenever the "base" page (most likely English) is modified. This is not in place yet, but if we get enough interest in translating, I can easily add it to the wiki.Page-naming convention
Given a page called TestPage, the translator will create a new page with the same name, appending a country code as appropriate to the page:
TestPage:SE
In addition, each translated page should have the following wiki markup placed at the bottom of the page:
---- CategorySE
We might go with more specific language codes if country codes prove unworkable.
