Terminology
In this document:
- original [page]
- master page
- - refer to the original page (in the language used by the author) from which the translations are made;
- translation [page]
- - refers to a page that contains a translation of an original page.
Naming of translation pages
A translation page should be named in the following format:
<MasterPage>.<LangCode>
where:
- <MasterPage>
- is the name of the master page;
- <LangCode>
- is the (2-digit lowercase) code (ISO 639-1) of the language used by the translation.
So, the rule is: the translation page keeps the same (untranslated) name of the original page, plus a dot character followed by the 2-digit lowercase ISO 639-1 code of the language used by the translation.
Example: The French translation of the Main_Page of this wiki should be named as Main_Page.fr.
