Skąd taka nazwa?
Nazwa projektu, Wikia Language Brigade, została wymyślona przez Albugineous i składa się z trzech części: To oznacza, że jesteśmy zespołem, którego członkowie działają na wiki i pomagają w tłumaczeniach i sprawdzaniu poprawności tłumaczeń dla dobra całej społeczności Wiki. Jest do dobrowolny projekt, w którym tłumaczymy na zamówienia na tej stronie.
 * Wikia – działamy na naszej wiki, na twojej wiki i w każdym zakątku Wiki.
 * Language – tłumaczymy i sprawdzamy poprawność tłumaczeń.
 * Brigade – jesteśmy grupą, zespołem: wspólną pracą możemy zdziałać wiele.

Krótka historia
User:Yatalu, who has a (unhealthy?) liking for foreign wikis, got the idea to start a translation project on Wikia in late spring of 2013. She started working on the WLB templates in an external sandbox on July 4th and moved them to Community Central the day after. In the weeks after that, dozens of people joined the WLB, and this wiki was also founded.

Zamówienia
You can request translations and language checks. The rules for both can be found on Project: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 Brigadeers check those pages, unless the language is one with a lot of native speakers.

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.
 * If you want to, put one of our Templates in your profile.
 * Regularly check for requests!

Tłumaczenie/poprawa
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.

Przeglądanie
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.

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.

Rekrutacja
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.
