WLB/zh-hans

WLB的含义和由来
Wikia Language Brigade(Wikia语言团队)，是由User:Albugineous创造而包含三部分： 总结来说，我们是一个Wikia范围内，为改善Wikia社会而帮助翻译和更正任何语言的团队. 除此以外， 这也是一个自愿性的计划. 我们的队员会单独地或者在请求页根据要求 来翻译.
 * Wikia – 我们的工作覆盖整个Wikia： 我们的维基，你的维基，还有Wikia的每个角落.
 * Language(语言) – 我们会帮助翻译和对所有现存的语言作出检查.
 * Brigade（团队） – 我们是一个组织，一个团队：众人拾柴火焰高，而我们的队友也会从此得到好处.

历史简介
Yatalu, 一个对外国维基有 （不良的？） 兴趣的用户，在二零一三年的晚春有了开始一个Wikia翻译计划的想法. 她在七月四日开始在外置沙盒内创造计划的模板并在一天后把它们移到，并且找到了一个适合的名称："Wikia语言团队".

通过博客和其他宣传方法，令加入这个计划的人数颇高，在二十四小时内已有8人加入了. 在第二天，当计划达到了10个成员后，语言团队维基为了储存规则和计划的概观而被成立. 从此而后 Promotion through visiting chats and blogging and growth continued further.

In the last quarter of 2013, the WLB crossed the milestones of 100 "Brigadiers" and native speakers of 25 languages. Both WLB members and volunteers helped to blog in Russian (Ivaristal), German (TheMaven), Catalan (Piece enrik), Chinese (SammyLau), Polish (Pio387) and Italian (TheMaster001).

Requesting
You can request translations and language checks. The rules for both can be found on Request policy. Translations and language checks can happen either on individual basis, or on request pages. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages.

With individual requests, you just go to w:Template:WLB and match the source and goal language of your translation, or the language for your language check. This method may be faster, especially in the case of uncommon languages, but then the request has a chance of being refused. On the other hand, you also know what level your translator will have, which is convenient if you have high expectations.

Requesting on a non-individual basis happens on this wiki. There are two pages for this: Translate for translations and Correct for pages that need language checks. This method may be slower, since it depends on if our Brigadiers check those pages, unless the language is one with a lot of native speakers.

Joining
We can always use more members! Joining can be done in a couple of easy steps,
 * Put your name and info in w:Template:WLB.
 * How? Read up on the page Join.
 * Put yourself under every language you are able/willing to help with.
 * What's my level? See Babel.
 * If you want to, put one of our Templates in your profile.
 * Regularly check for requests!

Translating/correcting
When you are translating or correcting, remember that your language quality should be at its best: the better you translate/correct, the more it'll improve the community you are helping. Good work also puts not only you in high regards, but also the community you helped, the wiki(s) you represent, the WLB, and even entire Wikia. You may think this sounds too idealistic, but many a little makes a mickle, right?

A few tips for a good translation,
 * Don't accept requests you don't want: others might be more motivated to put effort in a good translation.
 * Grammar and content are more important than literal translations.
 * With intermediate level, it is better to split sentences up to avoid mistakes.
 * If you're unfamiliar with the topic, ask the requester about words you're not sure of.

Reviewing
You may feel like putting your opinion about the project or about the completion of an individual translation – whether you are happy with the results or not – on the page Testimonials. Anyone can review! From our own members to someone who never heard of us before today: the more, the better!

The rules for reviewing that can be found on Project:Review policy are rather logical: mention what you are reviewing, explain your positive/negative opinions, sign with your username. However, it never hurts to read these rules to be sure.

Recruiting
Want to let others know about this project? Feel free to do so! We always like extra members, but we also like extra requests – without things to do, we would become lazy.
