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.

== 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.
