I am updating the procedures. The instructions below the line are obsolete.
I've created a workspace at the Wiki. This makes it a bit easier since the Wiki punctuation etc. will work, and you won't just be looking at plain text which is not linked. Have a look at the sample workspace, and try to copy it. I've cut and paste the English content into the Japanese translation workspace as another example.
You can also have a look at the Malay translation. Click the "Edit" tab near the top of the page to see the actual "wiki text".
If anything is unclear, please do not hesitate to email or pm me directly.

^^^^The following is now obsolete
Here's an example on how you can work here:
In order to start working on translating a new page, follow this steps:
- go to this page - Translations Weblog - and click on the New Blog Post link (near the orange RSS button).
- Add a meaningful title in the Subject field, for instance: Missing Persons Page - Thai translation
- as content, add the English version of the text you want to translate in its English version, then Save.
Now you can edit the page wiki-style, using the Edit this page link (below the posting's title), until it's ready for posting on the big wiki.
Advantages:
- you don't have to swap e-mails all the time and copy-paste the text - the text it's always in the page
- you can keep track of changes by:
- using the page history (so you don't risk loosing anything)
- comparing versions of pages (by using page's history)
- using the full-text RSS feed, for notifications
And you don't need to worry about the wiki markup - just use plain text.
You'll find all your postings here: Translations Weblog; there's a link to it in the upper right *Blogroll" menu.
Join the translators mailing list (or just watch this blog for updates) :)
