Added translation information.

New page

Translations of the wiki can really help out new users from other countries. We currently have a strong [[De:Vegastrike|German]] translation, as well as some beginning efforts at [[Fr:Vegastrike|French]], [[Es:Vegastrike|Spanish]] and [[Pl:Vegastrike|Polish]] translations.

For this page, examples will use '''Lc'''. Lc is the language code you are translating to. (i.e. De, Fr, En).
=Starting a new language=
This process is not too hard.
* First, edit the [[Template:Languages|Language bar template]] to include your language (copy and paste an existing example).
* Second, create Template:Lc, which contains the name of your language (i.e. [[Template:De]] contains "Deutsch").
* Third, create Template:Translation_Message:Lc that contains a translation of "This page exists in multiple languages". See [[Template:Translation_Message:En]] for an English example.
=Translating of a page==
==If the language bar does not yet exist===
Edit the English page, and add the following code at the top:
<nowiki>{{Languages|En|English Title of Page}}</nowiki>
If it works out correctly, you should see a language bar at the top of the page.
==Linking to the translation===
The language bar will link to '''Lc:English Title'''. You must use redirects to make the name friendlier. There are two ways to do this:
The best way is to create a page at '''Lc:English Title''' (start out with the language bar below). Then, use the "MOVE" button, and move it to '''Lc:Translated Title'''. This will set up the proper redirect.

===Manually redirecting a page===
If the move button does not work, or if the translated page already exists, you must use the #REDIRECT syntax.

You can do this manually by creating your translated page at '''Lc:Translated Title''', and then create the '''Lc:English Title''' page with the contents:
<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Lc:Translated Title]]</nowiki>

==Creating the translated page===
To add a translation of an existing page, you need to add a language bar, like you did for the english page, except with the proper Language code:
<nowiki>{{Languages|Lc|English Page}}</nowiki>
Then, start translating (I recommend copying the Wiki-text of the English page as a starting point).

It's fairly complicated to get right the first time, so the [[Manual]] page and the German translation, [[De:Handbuch]] (and the english title [[De:Manual]]) provide a good working example of this process. However, it should become simple if you get used to it.
