Translating a document is not always easy, translating a wiki-document under frequent editions not only demands a constant synchronization and reworkings, but even more importantly being able to record the wiki-version that has been translated last, and thus be able to spot the ''diff''erences to the latest version. In order to try solve some of this issues a pair of templates, together with a mini-framework has been devised. They three parts are:

;[[Template:Translated Page]]:a flexible template to include in all translations, that keeps track of:
'''Please, read (augment if necessary) the current ''[[translating]]'' mechanisms in the wiki.'''
:*'''version''' - of the translated page (today it's the current, tomorrow who knows)

:*'''diff''' - from the current to the translated version (easy updating pages)
(If you have any questions, use the [[Category talk:Translated Pages|discussion tab]] or feel free to [[User talk:Xavi|drop me a note]]).
:*'''original''' - simple link to the source page

:*'''other''' - publishes ''all other language versions'' to which the original has been translated
:*'''categorization''' - automatically adds the page to this category
;[[Template:Translations]]:simply publishes in the ''original'' document, ''all other language versions'' of it.
;somePage/translations:the page that holds the wiki links to ''all other language versions''.


''Please refer to the template's pages to see their documentation.''

Because the new scheme is more apt for a wiki (specially keeping track of the actual version used for the translation) is that the [[:Template:TranslatedFrom|TranslatedFrom]] template should be avoided and replaced by the above wherever possible.

Translating a document is not always easy, translating a wiki-document under frequent editions not only demands a constant synchronization and reworkings, but even more importantly being able to record the wiki-version that has been translated last, and thus be able to spot the differences to the latest version.

Please, read (augment if necessary) the current translating mechanisms in the wiki.
