Welcome!

Welcome! Before you get started I must instruct you in the way that this wiki works. First, please read either (or both) of the following:

• The English wiki Welcome tutorial - much more beginner-friendly, gets you started with wikitext syntax, has stuff specifically related to the Scratch Wikis. (Recommended if you can read this sentence without Google Translate)
• MediaWiki help pages - translated into many languages, probably including yours, and describes how wikis work in general. (Recommended if you need something in your own language)

Next, heed the following instructions:

Your focus for now will be translating pages from English to Greek. You should not worry about creating any pages specific to the Greek wiki yet; instead, focus on translating.
When creating a page to be translated, you must follow the steps below. Let's say you want to translate the page Eng:Blocks. According to Google Translate, "blocks" in Greek is "μπλοκ".

1. Create the page Ell:Μπλοκ.
   • The contents of the page must be copied from the Eng: page.
   • Make sure that the page has {{:Eng:Blocks/translate}} at the top.
2. Edit the page Eng:Blocks/translate
   • If there is already a line that looks like |Ell=, change it to |Ell=Μπλοκ
   • If not, add the line |Ell=Μπλοκ just before the line that looks like }}
3. Start translating any English text into Greek.
   • When linking to other pages, always link with Ell: before the page name
   • When using translated templates, always transclude with Ell/ before the template name
   • When categorizing pages, always categorize with Ell/ before the category name

While you are doing all this, start looking on Scratch for more people to help you - editing a wiki is not a one-man job.

Good luck editing!

Hi Kenny2scratch, I don't understand one thing: Should I translate the pages using Google Translate or should I translate the pages myself? --Georgek0 (talk) 19:27, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Please translate the pages yourself. Google Translate can be at most a crutch during the process; it must not be the primary basis of translation. My use of Google Translate above is just to provide an example - if the correct translation of "blocks" in the Scratch context is not what I said above, then the translation I gave should not be used. Thanks for asking to clarify!
