This article offers a guide for how to translate an article (a page) in Proteopedia to another language, for example from English to Japanese. The main language of Proteopedia is English. There are no plans to have complete parallel Proteopedias in non-English languages. (In contrast, [http://wikipedia.org Wikipedia] maintains parallel versions in many languages.) However, translation of English articles in Proteopedia to non-English languages is welcomed.

Of course, the English and non-English versions of an article will likely diverge, unless, whenever one article is edited, a volunteer updates the other article. While such divergence is undesirable, the problem divergence creates is considered to be outweighed by the value of having some articles in non-English languages.
