# Translator Guide (read before translating)

Hello everyone!

Happy to have you on board! I'd like to give you a few instructions for your translations:

### 1. Follow the formatting:

If something is written in **bold** it should **stay in bold** in your translation.

If something is written in CAPITALS, it should also STAY IN CAPITALS in your translation.

If something is in a bulleted list,

* item 1
* item 2
* etc.

it should stay in a bulleted list.

If text is written in **a special frame** like below,

{% hint style="info" %}
Example text.
{% endhint %}

it should remain in the same type of frame in your translation.

**How to make these frames:**

* Go to an empty line (without text) or create one by pressing ENTER.
* Then press the circle with the + sign to the left and choose "**hint**".
* You can change the type of the frame afterwards by positioning your cursor inside the frame and clicking the circle with the arrow pointing downward, then choosing a type of frame "Info, Warning, Danger or Success". 
* Pay attention to what type of frame is used in the original English text and use the same type in your translation.

### 2. If the TWINS wallet is available in your language, make screenshots of it in your language for the guide. They have to correspond to the original English screenshots!

#### You can find out if the wallet contains your interface language by clicking Settings>Options>Display, then checking the drop-down list to the right of "User Interface Language" text).

### 3. Do not forget to translate text added to screenshots by the guide author.

### 4. Do not forget to translate text inside `code fields`

### Text formatting: 

You can bold or italicize text by selecting the text itself and choosing **B** to **bold** it or *I* to *italicize* it, OR pressing CTRL + B for **bolding** and CTRL + I for *italicizing*.

If you want to `mark a part of the text as code,` simply select it, and choose the <> sign.

If you want to **make text larger**, select the circle to the left and choose Heading 1, 2 or 3.&#x20;

Heading 1 and 2 have keyboard shortcuts which are listed in the same menu (CTRL + SHIFT + 1 for Heading 1, CTRL + SHIFT + 2 for Heading 2).&#x20;

Choosing "Paragraph" in this menu returns text to normal size.

If you want to **create a bulleted list**, just go into a new line and begin it with a dash ( - ), then write what you need to, press ENTER and Gitbook will start a bulleted list for you.

* item 1
* item 2
* etc.

Pressing TAB while in a bulleted list will create another list level:

* item 1
  * item 2
    * item 3
      * item 4

### Adding URLs:

You can [add URLs ](http://example124435.com)by selecting text with your mouse, clicking the right-most icon and typing in the URL into the empty field which appears.
