Hello!

The Scratch Wiki community is interested in setting up wikis in other languages. If you are interested in translating and creating a Scratch Wiki in a new language, then continue reading this page. The Scratch Wiki community will help you get started. 

Nice places to start:
* [https://scratch-wiki.info scratch-wiki.info] {{-}} Domain of all International Scratch Wikis
* [[International-Scratch-Wiki-FAQ]] - '''FAQ''' about how to create and maintain a Scratch-Wiki in your own language. Tries to answer any question that could come up
** ask new questions [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/196233/?page=1#post-1949818 in this Scratch Forum Thread]
* [[Special:RequestAccount]] - to create your account here. Instructions on what to say are present on that page.
* [[Test-Scratch-Wiki:Currently Existing Wikis]] - Check if Scratch-Wiki for your language already exists
* [[How-To-Scratch-Wiki]] - basic information on how to set up a test wiki here
* [[Scratch Wiki:Become a Contributor]] - Getting an account
* [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/19841/ translating the wiki] {{-}} forum-topic about translating the wiki
* [[:en:User:InterwikiBot/International_Stats|International Scratch Wikis Stats]] {{-}} Weekly refreshed numbers of edits,  articles, active users, admins 
* [[Test-Scratch-Wiki:Watch|Scratch-Wiki-Watch]] {{-}} overview Link-Tables about all existing Scratch-Wikis  their users, admins,activities, setup-parameters and so on. Very helpful to find these informations in forign-language Wikis if you cant't read that language ;-)
* [[:en:S:CPND#We need your help: Apply for getting "International Scratch Wiki Coach"]] {{-}} Thread for those, who want to help building international wikis by coaching the new international authors - contains also a  sub-thread at a thread that brought this Test-Wiki into existence: see: [[:en:Scratch Wiki talk:Community Portal/Not Done#We need your help: Apply for getting "International Scratch Wiki Coach"|How this whole thing started]]

New Scratch Wikis begin life in the [[Test-Scratch-Wikis|Test Scratch Wiki]]. The Test Scratch Wiki is basically a giant sandbox where Scratchers can create Scratch articles in their language. If a wiki becomes big enough with enough active contributors, it will branch off into its own official Wiki website. 

If we approve of your account application, we'll create an account in the Test Wiki for you. We'll notify you, then you can start making articles, templates, categories and so on in the namespace of your language (eg. Eng for english). 

Good luck!
