<p>Topics discussed:
</p>
<ul><li>Creating a translatewiki.net account.</li>
<li>The importance of translating the software user interface and not just the articles.</li>
<li>Choosing what to translate.</li>
<li>Correcting existing translations.</li>
<li>Choosing the terminology and building the surrounding community.</li></ul><p>Useful blog post: aharoni.wordpress.com/2015/08/12/amir-aharonis-quasi-pro-tips-for-translating-the-software-that-powers-wikipedia/
