Translation instructions

See also: Help:Language translation, Help:Translation switching

To translate the Main Page into a different language:

1. Copy the contents of the current English Main Page and paste it into the language subpage (e.g. for French it is Main Page/fr)
2. Then translate all of the English parts into your own language.
3. Many other templates (e.g. the {{FeaturedArticle}} template) are used in this layout and require translations to be added to them directly. See Category:Main Page for most of them. Follow the individual instructions on each page to translate these templates.

If the English Main Page is missing a parameter you need, there is a full list in this box.

Copy from the English Main Page instead. {{Main Page layout | welcome-text-1 = Welcome to the | welcome-text-title = Official Team Fortress Wiki | welcome-text-2 = the official resource for the ''[[Team Fortress]]'' series. | welcome-text-3 = [[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}]] articles and growing… | welcome-link-website = TF2 Official Blog | welcome-link-forum = Forums | welcome-link-updates = Updates | welcome-link-youtube = YouTube Channel | welcome-link-steam = Steam Community | welcome-link-discussion = Discussion | welcome-link-register = Register | welcome-link-helpout = Help out | welcome-link-translate = Translate <!-- These class titles can be removed if your language does not change their displayed names --> | class-scout-title = | class-soldier-title = | class-pyro-title = | class-demoman-title = | class-heavy-title = | class-engineer-title = | class-medic-title = | class-sniper-title = | class-spy-title = | box1-index-title = Index | box1-index-image1 = | box1-index-article1 = | box1-index-article1title = | box1-index-image2 = | box1-index-article2 = | box1-index-article2title = | box1-index-image3 = | box1-index-article3 = | box1-index-article3title = | box1-index-image4 = | box1-index-article4 = | box1-index-article4title = | box1-index-image5 = | box1-index-article5 = | box1-index-article5title = | box1-index-image6 = | box1-index-article6 = | box1-index-article6title = | box1-index-col1 = | box1-index-col2 = | box1-index-col3 = | box2-fa-title = Featured article | box2-fa-links = | box3-updates-title = Latest updates | box3-updates-type = banner <!-- Uses {{Latest item}} - switch between "banner" and "text" --> | box3-updates-text-latestpatch = Latest patch | box3-updates-text-latestblog = Latest blog | box4-dyk-title = Did you know… | box4-dyk-links = | box5-wiki-title = Team Fortress Wiki | box5-wiki-hidewikilinks = <!-- Use this to hide the TFWiki links that are in English.

Shiny

It's so shiny, I would miss the amount of colour though! -- Pilk _(talk) 10:50, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Colours coming soon, I'm structuring it first so then it's easier to style through CSS. seb26 [talk] 10:58, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Proper todo

• Index
  • Needs proper links
  • Need to use better images
• Team Fortress Wiki links
  • Possibly something like {{TFWiki navbar}}?
• What to do about blank gaps.

Could you make the class images a touch smaller? (70px maybe?) They're going off the side of my screen. -Shine () 06:59, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Suggestions from IRC channel:

• New (custom) class portraits
• Borderless freakin' tables yo
• Country flags (Pilk said no)

Well if we're changing them, we have to make sure they're all the same shape ans size so that they appear similar across the board.  – Smashman _(talk) 22:01, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

I want to keep the same framed picture style, but just have different images in the frame. seb26 [talk] 22:02, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Oh right. I thought you wanted completely different images. Good. They're meant to be polariods. They're from in-game. I think if you're going to do those, they should have a background. Otherwise they'd look odd.  – Smashman _(talk) 22:13, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
