Directory and file names

Required: Write directory names using the characters of the English language alphabet. Do not include a language's special characters (like the Norwegian æ, ø, and å)! If you do, your pages may not be accessible by users who do not have such language characters installed and activated on their Internet terminals.
Examples: Use /francais/, not /français/. Use /espanol/, not /español/.

Required directory and file names for translations

When translating Kidlink's general introduction, or our educational programmes, do not translate directory and file names.
Our web is integrated across languages as far as these web pages are concerned. Using different names increases the probability of link errors and inconsistencies, makes it more difficult for web page authors, for our many translators, and when we want to asess translation status.
Example: Information pages at /english/general/ depend heavily on information in other pages in the same directory, and in our educational program directories. 14 pages at /english/general/ with subdirectories, six pages at /kie/waila/, three pages at /kie/nls/, and four pages in the Who-Am-I? lesson plans and workshop have links to /english/general/response.html.
Remember that visitors to our web site rarely report link errors!

Note: We use the extension .html (not .htm) on our web pages!

Recommended

Language areas are requested to refer to information in /language/general/ rather than duplicate information in their own pages, for example, about the four questions, Kidlink's Kidcafes, Kidforums, real time services, Kidart, etc. Only in this way can we ensure that information is correct.
Example: In 1999, several areas used links like /KIDCAFE/ and /KIDART/, rather than link to the pages showing our total offering (/language/general/kidcafe.html and /language/general/kidart.html). As a result, many visitors were unaware of the many Kidcafes and Art Exhibitions in other language areas.
