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.

Rules and policies for non-English articles in Proteopedia will be found at [[Proteopedia:Languages]].


Of course, the English and non-English versions of an article will likely diverge as each is edited independently after the initial translation. While such divergence is undesirable, this problem seems to be outweighed by the value of having some articles in non-English languages.
