</div></div>I think localizations like this (as opposed to just translations) are<br>
welcomed by the Outreach team. You should probably feel free to tweak<br>
the "Wiki Guidelines" so it makes sense for Chinese projects. The<br>
Hungarian version did that too:<br>

<div><br></div><div>As for the Hungarian version, I am a total newbie to Photoshop, so I didn't reproduce the 3D rotation or whatever of the original English (it has a perpective effect to look like an object in space). What I did was, simply rotate a screenshot of huwiki by 15 degrees and it looks kinda similar in the end but without the 3D feel.</div>
<div><br></div><div>(I don't know how familiar you got with Scribus during the translation, but if you switch to the "Background" layer, right click on the screenshot and click on "Get image.." you can change the English screenshot to your Chinese ones. You will probably also need to move around the original arrows and word bubbles, but that is fine. the arrows are designed so that they can be stretched or shrinked without looking uglier for it.)</div>
