Translations and Languages

GWP.org can handle most languages with ease and a little adjustment by the admin. Automatic translations are available on every page in almost any language, however thse are tranlated by google and not by a real person, s they are not perfect. Most users have the ability to edit translations of the "real" page within the global site or their own regional or micro site.

To create a translation,naviagte to the page you wish to translate. then choose the language you wish to write for from the top right drop down menu labeled "Page view".

 "Edit" as normal, Publishing and Saving your changes.

If you are translating for a site you aren't an admin of , ex. the www.gwp.org site, you should see that you can Save, but not Publish the translation. This is an exmaple of moderation, where we allow anyone to edit the content but the comms team at GWPO is the only user group allowed to publish the pages globally. Once you have created a translation, please let them know so they can hit "publish". The same would be true if you wished to hire a translator for your own website, where you would be the only person able to hit "publish".
