<pre>Dear Joe,<br /><br />Over the past few weeks I have slowly translated the first module into Dutch (which I enjoyed doing!).<br /><br />However, I am new to this game and I have a few questions and I hope you are the right person to ask them.<br />- Is there a way for me to have a look at the complete text, to ensure that it has become a consistent document? <br />- Are there specific Wiki terms with a predefined translation that is used throughout Wikimedia (for example, I am thinking of a translation of words such as 'editor' and 'steward')? I also did not translate the 'Support & Safety Team' as I thought this to be a generic term.<br />- I am not sure how the links in the document really work. Which text should be included/translated? For example, if the original is: [$link2 Range blocks], do I need to include and/or translate the text?<br /><br />Kind regards,<br /><br />Michael Oosterhout<br />
