Translation Process

Jai Shri Mataji

Welcome to the Language Translation Guide for ShriMataji.org

The instructions provided here serve as a structured guide for both professional translators and individuals new to translation work, particularly on WordPress. There are 2 main sections which are briefly described below.

Section I is divided into five parts (see below) covering #1) Translation, #2) Setup and Updating Site, #3) Graphics, #4) Logos (only required for non-Latin language versions) and #5) Video subtitling. A list of the STANDARD text defaults used on the site can be found in the Appendix section.

Once all major translation tasks have been completed, the Translation Checklist – Google Sheets can be used for a final site review and confirmation of task completion to the website team for migration of the test site to PRODUCTION (end user site).

Section II contains some useful items such as Video tutorials, Important documents, Error reporting and FAQ, which will be helpful to review as you proceed with the translation and site update work.

The main task is translation, which is described in detail in #1 Translation options below. Other tasks can be done in parallel, depending on the resources available at your end. For any specific assistance, please email translation@shrimataji.org

Section I

Note: The completion of Tasks #1, #2, #3 and #4 (only if applicable) will conclude the language translation work on the test site. Task #5) Video subtitling, can continue in parallel, even after the language version test site has been migrated to the PROD site.
