TF2 Classic Wiki is capable of handling multilingual content very similarly to the TF2 Wiki.

Currently, because of the very small number of active contributors, it isn't expected for every pages to be translated and maintained.

How to translate a page

Follow these steps to translate a new page:

  1. Go to the page you wish to translate and click "Edit" (or "View source"). Select and copy the entirety of its code.
  2. Navigate to the new language by adding /xx to the end of the article, where xx is replaced with the ISO639-1 code of the language you wish to translate to.
  3. Paste the code of the English page.
  4. Place {{DISPLAYTITLE:abcxyz}} at the very top of the page to translate the page's title.
    • For example, {{DISPLAYTITLE:Instalación}} will properly change the page name to Instalación while keeping the URL be Installation/es.
    • Do not add more than one new line, or else there'll be awkward padding at the top of the page.
  5. You can start translating the page!
    • Whenever possible, refer to the in-game translations and localization files for any official translated terms.
  6. Change every single links and categories to properly link to the right place.
    • If there is a link to [[Troubleshooting]] while translating the page, you'd want to add a pipe character [[Troubleshooting/fr|Dépannage]] to make the link redirect to the translated page while showing the page's translated title: Dépannage
    • If there's already a pipe character [[Troubleshooting|click here]], just translate what's after it: [[Troubleshooting/fr|cliquez ici]]
    • If there is a link to a section [[Troubleshooting#See also]], you'd want to change what's after the number sign to properly link to the existing section of the linked translated page: [[Troubleshooting/fr#Voir aussi]]
    • If there's an interwiki link [[tf:Scattergun]] or [[wikipedia:Wall]], if possible please change it to link to the translated version of the page: [[tf:Scattergun/fr]] or [[wikipedia:fr:Mur]]
    • If there's an external link [https://example.com/ Example page], you'd want to translate the text of the link: [https://example.com/ Page d'exemple]
      • If possible, look for an officially translated version of the linked page, and place that there instead.
      • If it's a link to the official TF2 Classic Discord, please add a mention that it is English-only.
    • If there is a category [[Category:Gamemodes]], you'd just want to add the language code in there: [[Category:Gamemodes/de]]

This procedure is identical to the procedure of translating a page on the TF2 Wiki.

If done correctly, the translated page should automatically show up on the sidebar. See TF2Classic Wiki:Language test to see it in action.

It is advised to not translate any pages to a language which TF2 Classic hasn't been translated to.
