If you are browsing a specific page which hasn't yet been translated, you can use the language links to start translating that page immediately. Pressing a greyed out link will open the dialog shown below. To open the Content Translation tool for this page, simply press the "Translate from English" button.
If you are browsing a specific page which hasn't yet been translated, you can use the language links to start translating that page immediately. Pressing a greyed out link will open the dialog shown below. To open the Content Translation tool for this page, simply press the "Translate from English" button.
Before doing this, make sure the translated page doesn't already exist; if it does, follow the instructions under ''Linking existing translated pages'' below to make the language links appear properly.

Repeat this process for the rest of the page. The tool will save your progress as you work so if you need to leave the page incomplete, simply leave the tool and come back later. To make sure it has indeed saved before you leave, you can check the top toolbar; it should say "Saved just now" or "Saved [x] minutes ago."

Note that the translated title currently may not be saved properly; if you leave and come back to edit an unpublished translation, please make sure the title is still properly translated.
Once a translation is complete, it's time to publish! To do so, press the blue "Publish" button on the right side of the top toolbar.

And that's it! The translated page should now be available. You can press the link in the message that appears to visit it.

==Linking existing translated pages==
Pages that have not been translated through the Content Translation tool may not be linked together properly and therefore will not display links for translated pages. To add a link, first press the "Add links" button under the language list.

A dialog will open prompting you to enter the '''target''' language and page (not the language or name of the page you are currently on). For the language, enter ''fr'' for the French wiki and ''en'' for the English wiki, then enter the page title of the existing translated page. As you are typing, it should give suggestions of pages; once the one you want pops up, you can press it to select it. When you have entered both the language and the page, press the "Link with page" button.

It may take a minute or two for the links to appear on both wikis; this is normal.
