Posting Your Translation
to Our Web

1. If you are just translating the text (not html), send to the person in charge of the area of which this page is a part. If you do not know who that might be, send to Kidlink's webmaster. Send as an email, or an email attachment.
   Others will complete the translation by turning it into a web page.

   It is always best to send your translated page as an email attachment, using the same file name as the original page. In the text of your email, provide the full web address of the page you have translated. Example: http://www.kidlink.org/english/general/overview.html . In this way, the received will not have to search to find out what page you have translated.

   Some users have difficulties sending web pages as attachments, and they show up as part of the email's text for the receiver. Usually, this is caused by the settings of the sender's email program. Here are some hints for users of MS Outlook:

   • At the Tools menu, there's a Send tab. At the bottom, there's "Mail Sending Format" specified as either HTML or Plain Text. Set this to Plain Text as default. (This also makes your emails easier to read by those who are not having email programs with html capabilities.)
   • Click "Plain Text Settings", and set it to: "MIME (encode text using: NONE)".
   • Finally, close Outlook, and open it again

2. If you deliver the translation as a web page, and do not have rights to store it on our web, send to the person in charge of the area of which this page is a part. If you do not know who that might be, please send to Kidlink's webmaster. Send as an email attachment.
   Others will complete the web page, check links, and post it to the web.
3. If you have rights to store the translation to the web:
   • Use an FTP program to put the new page to the appropriate directory. See the Webguide.
   • Try locate other translated pages that should link to your newly translated page, and warn owners of these pages about your new page and its link.
     Hint: The dirinfo.html page in this directory might help. Make sure you tell the language area manager about the new web address.
