Joomla! Documentation™

Dear Dyfrig, Welcome to Joomla! Documentation!

Yes, welcome! This site is dedicated to documenting Joomla!, the CMS software behind many websites!

You have now been added to documentation as a translator! If you check the page Documentation Translators, you should see your username. Please, take a look at the following pages. They might prove useful to you as a new translator here:

• Translation Guidelines
• Translation Quickstart Guide
• Translating Links
• Translating Categories
• Play in the Translation Sandbox
• Language policy on Joomla! Documentation
• Finding pages to translate

Translators have many channels for help with translating on Joomla! Documentation. Please join one or both.

1. We have a Mattermost channel for translators. Ask questions, get answers, and have fun. Send a contact request to Max123kl, Ceford or MartijnM. Login to Mattermost with your Joomla identity account and let us know your name, specifying that you're a JDOC translator, and we can add you directly to the channel.
2. Post on a talk page. Either the translation administrator who sent you this welcome or another translator of your language on the Documentation Translators page.

If you have any other questions, please ask me on my talk page. Alternatively, you can go to my user page and click the "gear" icon in the top right and send a private email to me. Once again, welcome, and I hope you quickly feel comfortable here.

Thanks, and regards, (m-b-o (talk) 15:34, 5 March 2020 (CST))

Hello Dyfrig,

I am building a new Joomla documentation system, particularly for the Help pages which have become a nightmare to maintain and translate. The system can be used now but my main aim is to target Joomla 6 due for release in October 2026.

I can generate all of the screenshots (over 300) in any supported language, Welsh for example. I am looking into automatic translation but it is costly and needs a native speaker to correct the quirky content most systems produce. There are about 260 Help pages.

Would you be interested? I am only asking because I have been watching Rugby on the satellite Welsh language channel and after 10 years or so I still do not understand a single word of Welsh. Also, Welsh is at the end of alphabet listings which has some practical advantages for me.

Regards

Cliff Ford
