 We encourage translators to create and maintain a team wiki for your language team(even if you are the only translator). This can help in making it more accesible and welcoming for new translators to join your team. You can have a look at the other teams pages to get an idea about what you could put in yours. If you are using an external resource to communicate with your team, it is recommended that it is linked to it on the team's wiki page here, for new and future translators. We encourage translators to create and maintain a team wiki for your language team(even if you are the only translator).

-It is important to keep in contact with the other translator(s) of your language. Is your language already translated or being translated by someone else? You should make an effort to collaborate with the current translator(s) of that language, and split up the work so that you are potentially reducing your workload and increasing the quality of the translation. Many translators are happy to share the work and appreciate people discussing the translations that they are working on.+It is important to keep in contact with the other translator(s) of your language.
