Apart from German, the game itself has only been translated into English so far, so we will concentrate on that for the time being. However, a translation of the manual into other languages is conceivable.

How to help?

You do not have to be a translator. We need helpers who review the German pages, so that the translation process can run more smoothly.

Translation Team

Team Bug

Review and correct German wiki pages before translation.

Should be German native speakers or very good non-natives. Find typos, factual errors, or stylistic weakness.

#Pages Awaiting Review

Team Fey

Mark pages for translation when German wiki is okay using https://wiki.eressea.de/index.php/Spezial:Seitenvorbereitung.

Should have some degree of technical understanding of the translation process.

Team Hobbit

Translation and review English.

First-pass translators do not have to be excellent English speakers. You can use translation software like deepl, but you should acquire some understanding of technical issues (see links, templates, below).

Reviewers should be native speakers or very good non-natives.

Links

Links should be [[Special:MyLanguage/GermanPagename|link text]] in general. "link text" should not be capitalized if it does not make sense in the target language. There is an argument to be made to change them to [[GermanPagename/en|link text]] if that page is already translated, or even [[TranslatedPagename]] if that page name is a redirect to [[GermanPagename/en]].

Templates

{{weiter|SeitenName}} should be translated as {{weiter|SeitenName|Capitalized translated name}}, for example: {{weiter|Einleitung|Introduction}}.

Categories

Rules page should have as their category. This should not be included in the <translation> tags, or, if it is, not translated.

Sidebar

The Sidebar can only be changed by users with editinterface permission. When making changes, Mediawiki:Sidebar-messages, Mediawiki:Sidebar-Überschrift and Special:Translate/wiki-sidebar must also be edited, see Translate-Help.
