Adding to the list
If you don't want to figure out the table, just add your word/translation to the bottom of this talk page and it will be added for you.
[edit]
If you know a word that's already listed in one of the other languages
Like, for example, you know how to say carburetor in Spanish.
- Go to the article and click on the edit tab.
- Scroll down until you see the word you have a translation for.
- In the example, it looks like this:
|- |[[carburetor]] |<!--Italian--> |<!--Spanish--> |<!--??--> |-
- Erase the language name and replace it with the translated word. Erase the other symbols too; those are just there to help you know where stuff goes.
- In the example, you'd do this:
|- |[[carburetor]] |<!--Italian--> |carburador |<!--??--> |-
- Finish scrolling down and hit the "show preview" button to make sure everything looks good.
- Save page when you're satisfied with your edit.
[edit]
If you want to add a word to the list
Like, for example, you think that beer is an important enough concept in the moped world that it deserves a foreign-language translation.
- Go to the article and click on the edit tab
- Scroll down in the first set of words until you get to the spot where your article would alphabetically be listed.
- In the example, that'd be here:
|- |[[base gasket]] |<!--Dutch--> |<!--German--> |<!--French--> |- |[[brakes]] (disc/drum) |<!--Dutch--> |<!--German--> |<!--French--> |-
- The |- tells the wiki that you want to make a new row. If you want to add a word, you want to make a new row. Copy the following text (changing words as necessary).
|beer |<!--Dutch--> |<!--German--> |<!--French-->
- Paste this text below the |- where you want your entry to go. You will have to add another |- to whichever side (top or bottom) of the new entry is missing one.
- In the example, it'd be like this:
|- |[[base gasket]] |<!--Dutch--> |<!--German--> |<!--French--> |- |beer |<!--Dutch--> |<!--German--> |<!--French--> |- |[[brakes]] (disc/drum) |<!--Dutch--> |<!--German--> |<!--French--> |-
- Repeat this process for the other half of the dictionary. If you added the word to the Dutch/German/French table, add it to the Italian/Spanish/?? part too.
- Finish scrolling down and hit the "show preview" button to make sure everything looks good.
- Save page when you're satisfied with your edit.
