# 🌍 Add a language to the Wikiwedia Hi, and thanks for wanting to take this on! This wiki exists in more than 33 languages, all translated by people who, just like you, wanted a little corner of the internet to also exist in their own language. You don't need to know how to code: fill in this file with your own words, send it to us, and we'll take care of putting it on the site. That's it. Take your time, have fun with it, and don't hesitate to write to us if a passage feels awkward to translate - some of the wordplay ("wikiwedia", "art-official") won't necessarily land the same way everywhere, and it's fine to adapt it rather than translate it word for word. --- ## Before you start **Language you're proposing:** _(name of the language, in English and in the language itself - e.g. "Danish / Dansk")_ **Language code (if you know it):** _(the two-letter ISO 639-1 code, e.g. "da" for Danish - otherwise we'll sort it out)_ **Your name / handle (for credit):** _______________ **A link to you if you'd like (website, social, portfolio...):** _______________ > 💡 Check the wiki's "Contribute" page first to make sure your language > isn't already being worked on by someone else - just so nobody > duplicates effort without knowing it! --- ## How to read this document Each block below shows: - **[TRANSLATE]** - the text to adapt into your language. The original English text is given right below as a reference for meaning (no need to translate word for word, what matters is that the meaning and tone come through). - **[DO NOT TRANSLATE]** - proper names, URLs, release dates (the format can follow your language's convention, but keep the same dates), to keep exactly as they are. People's names, place names, label names, song and album titles always stay identical (Breaking Fuel, Bordeaux, Modulor Records, "Make Our Delay Great Again"...) - only the surrounding text gets translated. --- ## 1.

Suggest a color (a name, or a hex code if you have one) that speaks to you - we'll take care of harmonizing it with the others. My color: _______________ (e.g. "a glacier blue", or "#b8d4e0") --- ## 3.
