## Translation
In this section you'll find the info you need to translate a page and add a new translation, but keep in mind that Monero has a [Localization Workgroup](https://github.com/monero-ecosystem/monero-translations) who coordinate and give support to translators-volunteers. For live support/request of infos, come chat on `#monero-translations` (Freenode/IRC, riot/matrix, MatterMost).
The bulk of the website is translatable on Weblate, an easy to use localization platform that provide contributors with a user friendly interface: [translate.getmonero.org](https://translate.getmonero.org). Before translating, please read [the guide for translators](https://github.com/monero-ecosystem/monero-translations/blob/master/weblate.md), which contains all the info and workflows you need to know before starting.

## How to add a new language

Adding a new language can be complicated. If you feel unsure about the steps necessary, contact the Website workgroup and somebody will add the new language for you.

Add your two letter language code (Google it if you don't know it) in between the brackets after the others already present. You will need to put a comma after the previous last one.

## Housekeeping
### Editing the Site
When you make an edit to ANY page on the English language of this website, PLEASE copy your changes into the corresponding language files as well.
The Monero Localization workgroup will do their best to keep tabs on all changes of the site, but it'd be nice to notify them that you've changed a page so they can make sure the equivalent pages are changed accordingly in the other languages.
### GitLab Issues
We ask that if you open an issue on the site that you remain available for clarifying questions or corrections. We do our best to close issues that are resolved when we make changes to the site, but If your issue is resolved by a contributor and the issue is not closed we ask that you close it in a timely manner. A contributor may ask you to close an issue after it's confirmed fixed. Please review the changes to the site and close your issue if you can verify that it's fixed.
### Pull Requests
Contributors should use [issue keywords](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issues/automatic_issue_closing.html) to make it easier for maintainers to close issues when they merge. Include close, closes, closed, fix, fixes, fixed, resolve, resolves, resolved, etc in the commit message or pull request description, so that the correct issue can be closed if your PR is merged. (Example: 'fixes #1234' could close Issue 1234 when merged.)
Pull requests allow others to make comments or review your changes to the site. We ask that you remain available to comment or make changes to your PR. Sometimes someone else's changes might make your changes conflict with the current site. If that happens you may need to rebase your PR.
## Updates on User Guides
User guides and developer guides may need regular updates, either to fix typos, to add explanations regarding new features, to update screenshots, and so on.
As those guides are translated in several languages, it could be hard to keep all languages version up to date with the English version.

## How to update the Roadmap
### 1. Edit the .yml file
Navigate to the `/_data/` folder and open `roadmap.yml`. You will notice a list separated by hyphenated `-year` tags.
Navigate to the `/_data/` folder and open `lang/en/roadmap.yml`. You will notice this structure:
**DO NOT MESS WITH THE FORMATTING OR INDENTATION OF ANYTHING OR JEKYLL WILL NOT BUILD PROPERLY!**
Find the year that you want to update and copy the code below:
```
- name:
date:
status:
year_2014:
- month:
STATUS:
- name:
```
and paste it in the correct year's `accomplishments:` section IN THE CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER that it will be in. So if there is a accomplishment that happened/is happening before the one you are inputting, make sure it is higher up than yours. If there is an accomplishment that happened/is happening AFTER yours, make sure it is after yours. If you don't have exact dates, just do your best to estimate.
Where STATUS can be either `completed`, `ongoing` or `upcoming`.
Fill in the data as follows:
* `name:` The name of the accomplishment. Try to keep it short, a sentence or two at most.
* `date:` When the accomplishment happened (past) or when it is expected to happen (future)
* `status:` If the task is done, put `completed`, if the task is currently in the works put `ongoing`, and if work on the task has not yet started to your knowledge, but is expected to, put `upcoming`.
Look for the year and month related to the entry you want to add, if the month and status are already present, simply add `- name: NAME OF YOUR ENTRY` in the correct position.
For example, there was a new release on March 2020 and you would like to add it to the roadmap as "completed":
- Scroll the `roadmap.yml` file until you arrive to `year_2020`
- The milestone happened in March so you need to look for that month (`- month: March`)
- Since the milestione has been already achieved, look for the `completed:` status.
- Under it add `-name: NAME OF YOUR ACHIEVED MULESTONE`. Which in our case would be `-name: release wallet WHATEVER`
If a year, month or status is missing, simpluy adding by following the structure you see in the page.

### 2. Build/Test

If the build is successful, go to the Events page `/resources/roadmap/` and check to see that the newly added accomplishment is showing up in the correct place in the correct year. Test the page and let rehrar know if there are any bugs.

## How to add a question to the FAQ
### 1. Copy/Paste Code
Navigate to the `/get-started/faq` folder and open the `index.md` file. Inside you will see HTML code, but you will see it is very repetitive.
Copy the code below:
```
<div class="tab">
<input id="tab-CHANGETHIS" type="checkbox" name="tabs" class="accordion">
<label for="tab-CHANGETHIS" class="accordion">{% t faq.qN %}</label>
<div class="tab-content">
<p>{% t faq.aN %}</p>
</div>
</div>
```
And paste it at the very bottom of the file (literally underneath everything else).
Now we're going to change just a couple of things. Find the section with:
```
<input id="tab-CHANGETHIS" type="checkbox" name="tabs" class="accordion">
<label for="tab-CHANGETHIS" class="accordion">{% t faq.qN %}</label>
```
and change the sections in between the quotes that say 'CHANGETHIS'. Leave the first part `tab-` alone and see what number is on the last FAQ question (i.e. `tab-nine`). Now make it "tab-NEXTNUMBER".
Now you're going to find where it says `{% t faq.qN %}` and `{% t faq.aN %}`. Those are links to vaiables. You need to navigate to `_18n/en.yml` and find the `faq` section. You'll see the list of all the other FAQs with the structure: `qNUMBER` `aNUMBER`. Go to the bottom of that list and add your variable in the structure `qN`, where `N` is the number that follows the precedent in the list. For example, if the last entries were q20 and a20, you have to add q21 and a21. q21 will contain the string with your question, a21 will contain the answer. Now edit `{% t faq.qN %}` and `{% t faq.aN %}` accordingly.
### 2. Build/Test
Build your website using `bundle exec jekyll serve`. If the build is successful, go to the FAQ page `/get-started/faq/` and check to see that your question is showing up and, when clicked, the answer drops down. If not, check to make sure that the `id="tab-CHANGETHIS"` in the input and the `for="CHANGETHIS"` in the label are identical to each other. Test the page and let the website worgroup know if there are any issues.
### 3. Submit a Pull Request
You're all done. Submit a PR and wait for it to be reviewed and merged. Be sure to make any changes if requested.
The structure of the FAQ is a bit more complex than it used to be and contains anchors, variables and a TOC. A step by step guide would be too complex to follow. A basic knowledge of HTML is necessary to edit the page. If you wish to add a new FAQ please open an issue in the repository or/and contact the Website workgroup.
