Translating instructions
[edit]Become a translator
[edit]- Add yourself in this project.
- Register in TranslateWiki. TranslateWiki asks you to make a set of practice translations. Make around 10 of them. If you find that a translation is too difficult, you can skip and try a different one. After that you must wait until a bureaucrat accepts you. Once accepted, you are free to translate any project in TranslateWiki.
Translate
[edit]- Translate as much as you wish. It is useful, if you finish all strings that belong to one image. As soon as you have completed
Graphics production
[edit]Help produce translated versions of the graphics. Different software is best for different projects.
- Photoshop for animated gifs. It is possible to edit with Gimp, but Photoshop is better for a controlled workflow.
- Adobe Illustrator, Affinity Designer or Inkscape for pdfs, for example.
- Converting graphics to SVG will allow using onwiki tools for translation.
- Source files are listed with each image set.
Advanced
[edit]- Help create editable and translatable graphics files from the original files.
- Propose and create new translation projects
- You might also have new ideas how to develop this project.

[[Category:Siouxsie Wiles]](Half-)Automated mass upload
The files are stored in this folder after being created and waiting to be uploaded. There exists a mass upload Pattypan project. It can upload all new files, when they have been created with a strict naming scheme. The new files' filenames need to be appended with lowercase "-<language code>". For example Covid-19-curves-graphic-social-v3.gif --> Covid-19-curves-graphic-social-v3-mk.gif and placed in a subfolder, whose name is the same as the language code, in this case folder "mk".

Posters
[edit]COVID-19 Poster Challenge
[edit]This set of poster texts is based on a set of posters by the Finnish Institute of Health and Welfare. Rather than replicating the original posters, we are considering, arranging a Global Illustration Challenge for the texts.
- Challenge Wikimedians, students and staff of Art-related Campuses, primary & secondary school-aged children, and/or Artists in lockdown, to create open–license posters using the texts that have already been translated in (roughly) 50 languages.
- Create new texts, if needed (e.g. keep in contact with relatives and friends); or, modify existing text, if necessary (e.g. the recommended distance).
