Web Helper /english/general/

Max Yakovlev (10), Russia

The term "/general/" pages refers to Kidlink's general self-introduction, or "brochure," if you like. Most these pages are maintained by Odd de Presno because of their importance. We are asking the various language areas to translate as many of these pages as they can, and keep them updated. Needless to say, this is a huge job, and impossible for language areas with few volunteers to help.

Reports to: . Odd de Presno. Write him if interested.

Functions: To consult Odd de Presno, or the respective language area mangers (when working on translations), so that pages may be enhanced, and errors fixed.

The English language source pages

  • Review a page to see if it should be given a more attractive look (images/layout, etc.). Send your recommendations to Odd. This includes checking if the graphics on pages display properly.
  • Review a page to see if new text should be included to better get our message across. If better examples are needed, try search Kidlink's web pages or the conference archives for better examples to use.
  • Report links that does not work to Odd.
  • Style inconsistency
  • Help us update our list of What others say about Kidlink,  sponsor contribution pages, and conference appearances

Translated versions

  • Check if the links on a page are going to translated pages when such translations exist (rather than to the English language source). No automatic link-checker will discover this, and it is so easy for a translator to forget it. Besides, some translated pages may have been posted after the page you are checking was put in place.
  • Check if a translated page is up-to-date.
    Some English language source pages are updated frequently, and the language area personell may be unable to fix their translations in time.
    • Select a translated page, and print it out. Then, select the translation. Compare to see if the translated text needs to be changed.
    • Report the required changes to the owner of the page (should be listed with an email address at the bottom of the translated page), with a copy to the language area manager. (If you feel up to it, suggest that you send them an updated page with these fixes made.)
  • Report links that does not work to the owner of the page (should be listed with an email address at the bottom of the translated page), with a copy to the language area manager.
