5. If you are using Google Chrome (strongly recommended), right-click on the Portuguese Wiki page, and click "Translate to English". This will help you navigate the information better. The Portuguese page headings will be referred to in these instructions as their rough translations appear using the "Translate to English" feature on Google Chrome.
- Note: You may have to use the Google Translate icon in the URL bar to translate the Portuguese page back and forth (see image below).
From here, look for these "Portuguese" and "English" labels. This will indicate whether the text you move over to the new, English Wiki page should be in English or whether the original Portuguese words should be preserved.
6. TEMPORARILY SKIP THIS STEP English: Copy and paste over the History information from the Portuguese page into the English page under the "History" heading (see example screenshot below step 8).
7. English: Any information in the "Dates" (Datas) heading (usually near the top of the Portuguese page) needs to be added to the History section of the English page, wherever you feel is appropriate in the flow of the pre-existing History information.
8. Portuguese: If there is information under the "Old Denominations" (Antigas Denominações) heading on the Portuguese page, it needs to be added to the History heading of the English page. Underneath the History information, add the following code, and then populate it with the respective information:
'''Former Names:''' * *
|
9. Portuguese: Any information under the "Locations" (Localidades) heading on Portuguese need to be added to the Localities heading on the English page.
10. For steps 11-14, format the offices/instutitions as per this section of the Manual of Style.
11. Portuguese: Any information for "Civil Registry Offices" (Cartórios de Registro Civil, Notas e similares) in Portuguese needs to be added to the Local Offices heading under "Civil Registration" on the English page.
- NOTE that the Portuguese title of the office and the address have been preserved, but the word for "Telephone" has been translated into English for the English page.
