There are (currently) no tools or mechanisms in place in the Wiki to
assist with translations. The process is basically:
1. Identify a page that is to be translated
2. Click Edit
3. Select all text and copy
4. Cancel the edit
5. Start a new page with the "right" page name for the new translated
article
6. Paste in the copied original language text
7. Save to give a start point
8. Translate the text on the new page
It's a bit cumbersome, but this is generally how various language
groups are doing this (with some variations such as doing the
translations on sub-pages of their user pages etc.).
Thanks Clayton. I added the process description to the Wiki Editing
Policy. As long as we have no other solution, it's at least documented
now somewhere.
I've created Help:Translating, and edited the Wiki Editing Policy to
transclude the text from the Help page back into the Policy page.
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Help:Translating
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Dashboard/Wiki_Editing_Policy#Localizing_Content

There is another section in the Wiki Editing Policy about the linking of
localized pages
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Dashboard/Wiki_Editing_Policy#Linking_to_localized_pages
Shouldn't that also be part of the Help:Translating page? If you want to
transclude this also, I would suggest to put it under the
Localizing_Content section to have two subsections there, and to delete
the Linking_to_localized_pages under General_Editing_Work.
