If you wish to translate the wiki pages to your language but there is no button in the top right language links, you can ask per mail at <mmassonnet@xfce.org>.

		+	How to translate the wiki? It is possible to translate page by page, but it is not recommended for one simple reason, the maintenance will be one hell of a job! So do it differently, you can use the wiki to translate some pages that are useful to show off in your language of course, but you can also use the wiki frontpage to present the desktop environment in your language in a much simpler way. Put some links with cool localized content and so on. It's up to you, you can do anything!

start - reorganized the frontpage

Willing to get involved surely means you are happy about the project, it means you like it and want to help around it. You can start by chatting with people on IRC, that's where a lot of people start, or write reviews and blog entries, or you can take the ropes and maintain something. You can also act positive and motivate the Xfce developers crew.

	Updating the FAQ is always tedious, but not when you are maintaining it. Helping on the forum from time to time can be helpful. Doing some cool screenshots and presenting them around. Or doing some attractive artwork. You can fill pages on this wiki. You can propose [[web_site_wish_list\|wish lists]] for this website.

-	If you've looked at the desktop entry file spec, you may have already noticed the difference between these two entry keys. NoDisplay will hide the application from the menu but the mime type associations will still be read by Thunar (for instance). Setting the Hidden entry key to true acts the same as deleting the file.	+
