This page describes the current multi-lingual policy on GRASS-Wiki.
The main page
The English version of our front page is located at GRASS-Wiki. Translated versions are located at GRASS-Wiki/code, where code is the language code (e.g. GRASS-Wiki/fr).
Importantly, the rules about language codes (see below) should be followed here as well.
Language codes
Throughout GRASS-Wiki you should use the language codes specified by the MediaWiki software when creating language-specific content (see Names.php for the full and up-to-date list).
Please also bear the following in mind:
- If the language code is not found in Names.php then we should not host help pages in that language.
- If you want to add a language that is not present, first get it added to the software (by making a request at Bugzilla) and only add pages here once the changes have been accepted.
- If MediaWiki uses the 'incorrect' code for a language then you should also (for consistency) use that incorrect code here. If you think a code is incorrect you should discuss it on Bugzilla, and if this results in it being changed we will move the pages to match.
- Note that some language codes in Names.php are now deprecated (e.g. zh-yue has been replaced with yue). In these cases only the most recent code should be used.
