The [[IntactiWiki]] is set up with various language instances, currently supporting 13 languages. The most articles have been created in the English and German IntactiWiki so far.

The title of an article is the one you use to create the article. It will be used as the wiki link later. Basically it's a good idea to translate everything properly into the target language, e.g. you would translate the article title [[Circumcision]] into [[Zirkumzision]] in German.

But there are article titles which must not be translated, e.g. proper names, original titles of media, person's names.

But there are article titles which must not be translated, e.g.

* proper names

* original titles of media

* person's names.

# As you may have known already, you create a new article page by entering its title into the search field and click on the red link the search result page gives you.

# If the source article already has an interlanguage link to your target language, simply click on the language name in the navigation bar to open the target article page.

~~# Or you select the target article link from one of the lists mentioned above in the [[Talk:IntactWiki]] page.~~

== Translate everything ==

You may find templates in the wiki source text (indicated by curly brackets '''<nowiki>{{}}</nowiki>'''). Chances are that the templates already exist in your language. Try and translate only the template content, not the template name and keywords themselves. The '''[Show preview]''' button will always show if your language misses a template. If you are familiar with writing templates, you may want to create the localized version of an existing template yourself. Or ask the WikiAdmin to create one for you.

Templates make translation much easier. Here is an example of the English article [[Gabriel Symonds]].

=== Example source ===

This is the English wiki source of the article:

<pre>[[File:DOC gabriel-symonds.jpg|thumb|Gabriel Symonds]]

[[Gabriel Symonds]], MB, BS, is a British-born general practitioner, residing in Tokyo, Japan. Dr. Symonds says,

“I became aware of the barbarity of [[circumcision]] from hearing agonized screams when it was done in a clinic where I used to work.

Since then I have campaigned for the abolition of non-therapeutic genital cutting of infants and children.”<ref>{{REFweb
