Hi everyone, here's a "wizard" that I devised for a presentation to secondary teachers at a workshop in Prague in 2011, perhaps it could be modernized to suit the new visual editor environment (the concept was to get a teacher set up an account and make his/her first edit in a 45-minute session)

Shai, nice to see you in this thread, hope we can catch up some time :)

Hello everyone,

Dear Reem, you may find the following tool helpful [1]:

https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Editing_Wikipedia_-_Technical_Presentation.pdf

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.

but I think generally it would be better if we could first translate them all in meta and then make brochure in every language that we got translation. translation in meta is much more easier and more collaborative

Reem, 

You can find the text to translate as well as the InDesign and Scribus source files on the brochure page[1] of the Collab portal. If you translate the text and have either InDesign or Scirbus (which is free software), you can maintain the layout and formatting. 

Hope that helps, 

Jami

Hi all,

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,
Reem

Hi all,

I'm fond of this cheatsheet for wiki mark-up, we use it in Ukrainian a lot

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cheatsheet-en.pdf

Is there anything similar in idea but focused on visual editing? 

Maybe someone has designed such already. Some leaflet that can be printed and distributed widely.

Thanks for help,
