Moodle Docs pages, such as the page you are reading right now, are wiki pages available in several languages. Any registered Moodle user can contribute to Moodle Docs and improve or translate these wiki pages. Please make sure to follow the guidelines for contributors.
You need to make at least one edit to an existing docs page before you are allowed to create a new page (an anti-spam feature).
You might find it useful to add the original English documentation pages that you have just translated to your watchlist (alt-shift-w), so that you will know when your translation might need to be re-checked for a possible update.
If you wish to translate the latest release notes or the Moodle roadmap or some other pages in the dev docs that are considered particularly important and may be frequently updated, please use a Frequently updated page translation template, as done for Spanish (Plantilla:Frequently_updated_page_translation) and French (Modèle:Frequently updated page translation).
If your language does not have a documentation wiki, you are welcome to add a link to en:Moodle manuals to documentation available elsewhere e.g. Google Docs.
Which Doc pages are most important/useful to translate?
Many Moodle users will start reading the Moodle documentation in the English language Moodle Main Page for the current 2.7 version. This might be a good page to have translated.
The new features of Moodle 2.7 page would surely be of interest to the users of previous Moodle versions that want to catch up with the new available features.
The Table of contents in English has a very comprehensive and organized list of important Moodle topics. This might be a worthy addition to your language Documentation.
If you are a Moodle site admin or teacher, using a language other than English, and you use the 'Moodle Docs for this page' link in your daily work, please consider translating the English pages that helped you most to do your job and solve your problems.
Moodle Docs translations guidelines
Please look at Moodle site policy and the Moderator guidelines, as the same rules for Moodle forums apply for Moodle Docs pages in regard to spam, unsolicited advertising and confusing Moodle Docs with School Moodle site.
