The CEED wiki is available in both French and English. It is important to make sure that content in both languages is kept in sync to allow all users to enjoy CEED spaces to their fullest extent.
== How does the wiki handle multiple languages? ==

The CEED wiki is set up in a similar fashion to [https://wikipedia.org Wikipedia]; each language has a separate website ([https://en.wiki.makerepo.com en.wiki.makerepo.com] and [https://fr.wiki.makerepo.com fr.wiki.makerepo.com]). Translated pages are available by pressing the target language's name in the sidebar, under the "In other languages" header. If the page hasn't been translated yet in a certain language, the link will be grey instead of blue.
== Accessing the Content Translation tool ==
There are two ways of accessing the wiki's Content Translation tool: either through your contributions or by pressing the language on an untranslated page (grey link).
=== Through your contributions ===
The quickest way to access the Content Translation tool is to hover over the "Contributions" link in the top toolbar and press the "Translations" button in the dropdown that appears. This will bring you directly to the Content Translation home page.

=== By pressing the language link on an untranslated page ===
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.
