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 teams
- 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.

Capitalization
(In English) capitalize page titles and headings in sentence case (e.g. ==This is a heading==, not ==This is a Heading== or ==this is a heading==). Do not, generally, capitalize anything (skills, page references) in body text.
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.
Resources
- Current unofficial translation by User:Vachalet
- HTML version of the rules in English (very much outdated!)
- The same in Mediawiki syntax
Revised pages

Notes
