Updating the information on the translation

The translation process normally involves the following stages: "Request," "In Progress," "Proofreaders Needed," and "Completed Translation."

It is, of course, possible to backtrack to the previous stage (if you have decided to not continue translating, for example). It is also possible to skip a stage, especially if you want to start translating an article you chose immediately; in this case, you would skip the request stage by not putting it on the page for the current month's requested translations.

To pass from one stage to another, you must:

• modify the parameters of the progress made on this page, and
• put the {{Wikipedia:Translation/Iittala}} banner, which will take care of all the rest, in the right place.

Note : if, in a particular situation, you think that the template takes too much place, you can use the following syntax instead :

{{Wikipedia:Translation/Iittala| Parameter = hide }}

The table below shows all the steps needed for each stage:

Stage	Parameters to modify	{{Wikipedia:Translation/Iittala}}
Stage 1: Translation Request	It starts at the creation of the page and involves the following parameters: {{Translation/Information|language code|original name of the article to be translated|name of the translated article (in English)}} Interest Comment Requested By	Add to Wikipedia:Translation/_lang/fi Add to the talk page Add to Requests Option: Add to your user page
Stage 2: Translation in Progress	Stage ==> 2 Translator-s ==> ~~~ Proofreading_progress => 0 Permanent_link => [URL ~~~~~][1] Comment ==> you may post a new comment if you wish to do so	Add to the top of the article Add to In Progress Remove from Requests Option: Add to your user page
Stage 3: Proofreaders Needed	Stage ==> 3 Translation_progress => 100 Comment ==> you may post a new comment if you wish to do so Each time someone volunteers to proofread, he/she must modify the following parameters: Proofreader-s ==> ~~~ Proofreading_progress ==> XX (percentage of proofreading done)	Add to Proofreaders Needed Remove from In Progress Optional: notify the appropriate WikiProject or regional notice board that you would like someone to proofread your work
Stage 4: Completed Translation	Stage ==> 4 Proofreading_progress ==> 100 Please add the following to the bottom of the article to follow GDFL norms: {{Translation/Ref|Language|Source|oldid=parameter of the permanent link}} Example : {{Translation/Ref|fr|Liberté|oldid=12133757}} The last template is to be used to mention the source of a translation from another Wikipedia (again, to respect GDFL norms):	Add to Completed Translations remove from Proofreaders Needed

1. ^ Explanation : If the translation takes a while, the original article risks having changed quite a bit throughout, making the translation and eventual proofreading problematic.
   
   You can avoid this problem thanks to the Permanent link function, which appears in the toolbox at the lower left of every page.
   
   

[edit] Talk

This section is for all those who have requested this translation, are translating or proofreading this article, or just want to give some advice about the translation in progress. Do not forget to watch this page.

In particular, you can use {{Doubt | original sentence }} or {{Doubt | original sentence | possible translation}} to highlight the problems you encounter during the translation process.
