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.
