Across the wiki, various templates such as infoboxes are used to programmatically query the [[Help:Cargo]] database for game data. These infoboxes are set up to automatically translate their contents into various languages, but at times there are terms which have not been translated in the game files (or more specifically, have not been translated in a manner which isolates the term to itself rather than as part of a grammatical sentence). In addition, there occasionally exist terms which are not game concepts which need to be presented, such as "internal ID".

This article and its children are the solution to that translation issue. Each of these sub-pages defines

* [[Data:WikiTranslations/en]]
* [[Data:WikiTranslations/pl]]
* [[Data:WikiTranslations/ru]]
* [[Data:WikiTranslations/fr]]
* [[Data:WikiTranslations/jp]]

== Schema ==

Each individual term which needs to be translated has its own invocation of the {{Template:TranslationDef}} template. This template is normally used throughout the [[Help:ObeliskBot]] data import process to store all sorts of game terms (over 75,000 individual translations), but we can also use it here.

Each translated term will look like this:

<pre><nowiki>{{TranslationDef
| type = wiki
| subtype = hero_infobox
| target_id = wiki_hero_class
| language = en
| name = Hero Class
}}</nowiki></pre>

* The '''type''' should always be "wiki", to distinguish it from game terms.
* The '''subtype''' should indicate which page uses this term. If it shows up on more than 1 page, this should be the word '''common''' to indicate it is used elsewhere.
* The '''target_id''' is a unique identifier for this term and should always start with the prefix "wiki_" to ensure it does not collide with official game terms. This is the key used to look up this term and should not be changed.
* '''language''' is the lowercase ISO code for that language: en for English, pl for Polish, pt-br for Brazilian Portuguese, and so on.
* '''name''' is, finally, the actual translation for the term

== Updating ==

Each language page is essentially a repository of these entries, but we do not expect anyone to manually manage all of them! Whenever a new set of terms needs to be injected into each subpage, use [[Template:AddWikiTranslations]] to do so:

<pre><nowiki>{{subst:AddWikiTranslations|lang=pl}}</nowiki></pre>

Copy-paste that into each subpage and save (not preview) the article, and the new entries will be ready to edit.

== New Languages ==

As new language wikis come online, this procedure can also be used to quickly set up new languages, in this case using [[Template:NewWikiTranslations]]:

<pre><nowiki>{{subst:AddWikiTranslations|lang=pl}}</nowiki></pre>

Add a link to the subpage in the list of subpages at the top, populate it with the above template, save the article, and start filling it in!
