Hi Rolando! A user has found a bug in the template/the howto page. Here is a copy of the messsage:
 +
<nowiki>I try to translate GENI into to LANGUAG language. I have a question
 +
about step 4 in your HowTo
 +
http://wiki.geni.com/index.php/How_to_create_a_translation_page
 +
The name of my country is "COUNTRY", the name of my language is
 +
"LANGUAGE". So in the article "COUNTRY" is used template {{LANGUAGE
 +
translation}}. In this template is used "{{Translation|LANGUAGE" which
 +
generates link to the page "LANGUAGE" which doesn't exist.
 +
But if I use "{{Translation|Template:LANGUAGE translation|" it generates
 +
right link to template with Czech translation. I think that first
 +
example is right but doesn't work, and second example works fine but
 +
it contains a bug.</nowiki>

Translation

Rolando, your knowledge of wiki language is already a great benefit to us. The translation template already looks 500% better. Thank you. Any other changes you think we should make? --jon.jaquesTALK GENI 22:09, 2 February 2008 (PST)

Thanks! I hope I did not ruffle too many feathers. You may have seen what I did with Template:Spanish translation. It could use some tweaking, but I would like to write up a little howto document for the Translation template, and then try to get the different translators to use that format.

Bugs

Hi Rolando! A user has found a bug in the template/the howto page. Here is a copy of the messsage: 

I try to translate GENI into to LANGUAG language. I have a question
 about step 4 in your HowTo
 http://wiki.geni.com/index.php/How_to_create_a_translation_page
 The name of my country is "COUNTRY", the name of my language is
 "LANGUAGE". So in the article "COUNTRY" is used template {{LANGUAGE
 translation}}. In this template is used "{{Translation|LANGUAGE" which
 generates link to the page "LANGUAGE" which doesn't exist.
 But if I use "{{Translation|Template:LANGUAGE translation|" it generates
 right link to template with Czech translation. I think that first
 example is right but doesn't work, and second example works fine but
 it contains a bug.
