This is a presentation in Arabic, explaining step by step how to edit Wikipedia using the visual editor.
The terms used in the presentation are supposed to be identical to thise used by the Arabic Wikipedia community.
The presentation is part of a series of Arabic language training tools developed by WMIL to serve the Arabic-speaking local community, and to contribute to the Arabic-speaking communities around the world.

I really wanted to translate this cheatsheet into Arabic ever since Vira brought it to my attention. However, I am not sure how can I translate it while maintaining the same format (the colors and borders etc)? In other words, if I see a brochure that I would like to translate on Commons, what are the steps I should take?
Best,
