7Further translation
Before we can set up your website there is some further translation that needs to be done. These are:
Necessary information for Dev
These are some texts that are important for the setting up of your language-version (mainly for the code-changes). You need to fill out this document (your Serlo-Guide can create a local copy in your language-folder or you can download it and edit it offline):
Static pages
For setting up your language-tenant we need also the translation of the first important pages (the so called static pages), which will give people an idea about what Serlo is and how to join the movement. We have created templates for a minimal version of these pages that you can translate from.
How to edit the pages
Your Serlo-Guide can create a local copy in your language-folder, that you can edit or you can download them and translate them offline.
Please use informal address for all content on serlo.org. Our primary audience are students, and we have decided to unify the address in favour of this important group.
Please use gender neutral language whereever possible and gender balanced language when the former is not possible.
The templates
About Serlo
Here users can find out about the beginning of Serlo, what Serlo tries to achieve and what makes it special in comparison to other educational web pages. It also redirects the reader to the ‘Get involved’ page, thus showing participation possibilities.
Get involved
This page shows people ways in which they can participate in Serlo. You have to fill in your "open positions" as bullet points. Please update these bullet points regularly. If you need suggestions for "open positions" have a look at the german job-page or ask your Serlo-Guide
Community
The Community page is the starting point for authors who want to create learning material on serlo.org. It links to all the subjects that are under development as well as some guidance, tutorials and a link to the Community Chat.
Landing pages for first subjects
When you have translated the important information for Dev and the "static pages" then you can make your mind up about what your first subjects should be and try to prepare some texts that describe them. These texts will be important to design the landing pages for subjects, that give authors and users a first impression of your subjects.
If you need inspiration ask your Serlo-Guide or have a look at the german computer-science topic.
When you have translated all these elements as well as Crowdin, then congrats. Your language-tenant can now go online. Give a sign to your Serlo-Guide or write to en@serlo.org.
