To translate a page, first one writes the content in the original language. Second, the page is marked for translation. Then, a ''human'' translates the page using organizational tools provided by the wiki extension [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Translate Translate]. Tutorials for this extension can be found [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Translate here]. Finally, a second human reviews the translation. If a page has not yet been translated, users can see the page in the original language. If a translation has not yet been reviewed, users can see the non-reviewed translation. | To translate a page, first one writes the content in the original language.
