Hello,

Who did the Afrikaans (AF) section of the wiki pages?

Graeme was that you?

I would like to contribute translations to any outstanding translations.

How do I go about this?

Yes. Every now and then I feel very patriotic and update some Afrikaans articles in Wikipedia or FPC/Lazarus Wiki. :)

I would like to contribute translations to any outstanding translations. How do I go about this?

Any help is much appreciated. All I ask, is that for every Afrikaans page you create, please add the Afrikaans category to the bottom of such pages. That way we can easily find a listing of Afrikaans translated pages.

The wiki text you need to add is:

{{AutoCategory}}
[[category:Afrikaans]]

1) Use the '/af' suffix for Afrikaans pages. So it's the English URL + '/af' suffix.

2) To add the Afrikaans listing to the languages list (that appears at the top of each page, you need to edit the language bar template for that page. eg:

Create the afrikaans wiki page:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/How_do_I_create_a_bug_report/af

Then add the Afrikaans link to the language bar:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Template:How_do_I_create_a_bug_report

3) Remember the Afrikaans category in the article wiki page.

To see a listing of existing Afrikaans wiki pages in FPC Wiki, go to the following URL and scroll to the index at the bottom of that page. There is a whopping 2 pages translated so far. ;-)
