| THE WIKI IS UP AGAIN!
So, Pokemon Twilight is going to be available in multiple languages soon, not sure in what version, but we're starting this project now anyway. This project is held at the Pokémon Twilight wiki, also known as Pokémon Twilipedia. The exact project page can be found here. In order to edit it, you'll need an account we need to verify because if we wouldn't have to verify it then we'd get spammed even more. Your account should be verified within 24 hours after its creation. After this, you can edit the page using the "edit" button at the top.
Just look for the text you want to translate and translate it in the right box. If you want to translate "Poké Ball" into German for example, look for this:
QUOTE: {{Translate/entry|Poké Ball|
Translations of this word will then be listed in the current order (English, Dutch, German, French, Portugese and Romanian) and divided by "|". Poké Ball for example is fully translated in all languages, which gives this:
QUOTE: {{Translate/entry|Poké Ball|Poké Ball|Pokéball|Poké Ball}}
The more contributors, the faster PT will be fully translated and ready to be implemented! If there's any other language you're willing to translate PT into, PM Bouncy Ball or me and we'll add the possibility to translate that too.
Even if you think you wouldn't be any help, you can still help by translating all moves using Bulbapedia.
Good luck and thanks!

| Waitwat we're not going to translate anything with a translating program because of obvious reasons. All translations should be done by people who are decent at that language. If you want to play the game in Swahili, you should help us translating it in Swahili :P
Also don't quote a starting post because that's unneeded. |

| Actually, there's nothing wrong with creating an account there, it only has benefits and you don't have to enter your email if I'm right either, but it's easier if you do it in the wiki, because you can directly edit it and I don't have to come in between. And the goal is to translate every single piece of text, so it is a lot of work, but I'm pretty sure anyone who puts effort in it gets rewarded. :)
And yeah, I'm still adding stuff to the list that needs to be translated, because it's pretty big obviously. We're also asking for people to make sure they are able to put some effort into it, because half-translated languages aren't really a big help obviously, and we're forcing no one to do it, so it's just something you could do if you want to help and if you have some free time. |

| Any language is helpful. Sure, Swahili wouldn't be used a lot, but if someone wants to put time into it, that's fine. The more languages we have, the better, because if there is a Swahilian guy that plays PT and he finds out the game is in Swahili too, he'll probably be really thankful.
I'll add in Portugese support really soon, but may I ask you that if there is anything that also appears in the real games such as move names, item names, battle text etc, and that has appeared in the language you're translating it into (whether it's in the games or in the anime doesn't matter), please use those words/sentences instead of translating them yourself. For example, a Great Ball would be fitting as Greatball in German, but is translated as Superball for example. |

| Please don't make any edits to templates. I added in Portugese support so just add to each item you want to translate "|yourtexthere" before the }}. |

| Fixed :P
For example if you have this:
{{Translate/entry|Poké Ball|Poké Ball|Pokéball|Poké Ball}}
You turn it into this:
{{Translate/entry|Poké Ball|Poké Ball|Pokéball|Poké Ball|Poké Ball}} |

| At the very top of the page, there should be buttons called "Project Page", "Discussion", "Edit", etc. Click "Edit" :) |

| Looks good so far, but note that you have two HyperBolas (one for the Ultra Ball and one for the current PT Hyper Ball), so you might want to use another name for the PT Hyper Ball. Thanks for your help! |

| Don't randomly translate moves and other stuff that appear in the real games too, if a translation exists for these already then use that one. |

No you won't, unless someone of us can translate it into Japanese. |

| Well if you're still learning Japanese and you can't fluently speak it, we can't accept your translation because it won't be good enough. |
