Handling Links
When translating text in the page body please don't change links - just leave them pointing to the English pages. The wiki software will automatically bring readers to the corresponding translation if a translation exists. You might want to use the alternative text if the English version just links to the page without alternative text!
Handling Changes
Please don't forget to update your translations as the original English page changes. Don't add your own stuff to translated page - add it to English first.
Formal Or Informal?
If the language you are translating to allows for formal and informal ways of talking to the reader, we prefer informal over formal.
