Translation of HIV Travel report into Portuguese

Dear friends,

We thank you for having volunteered to translate the report on "HIV/Aids Travel and Residence Regulations for HIV+ people".

This will be an online collective translation. You will be able to access your language version of the report directly on line and translate directly above the English.

Each volunteer has told us how many country reports he wants to translate. Each and every one of you has different files to translate. A proofreader will check the consistency of the work at the end.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS VERY CAREFULLY.

• Where do I access the English version of the report?

The English version of the report can be seen at http://www.eatg.org/hivtravel/

• How do I log in to translate?

Go to http://www.eatg.org/admin.

We've sent every one of the volunteers the codes to log in to the site so they can translate directly on the site. If you lose them, please contact volunteers@ilga.org

Respect the case (capital letters, non capital) of the password and log in for the language you are translating.

• Which files should I translate?

5. Click on Edit and translate the text (delete the English when translated)
6. When translated, write "translation (in Portuguese): " followed by your name and the date.

• What shall I do when I've translated all the files I was given ?

Write to the volunteers@ilga.org. We will let the proofreader know he/she can proofread your texts.

• I am done. Can I translate more texts?

Of course, you can ;o) Write to volunteers@ilga.org. At any time you can contact the others translators to offer an hand to help them translate their part by writing to portuguesetranslationteam@lists.ilga.org.

Wait for our/their answer before translating extra files.

• I can only do so much... What do I do if I find this is too much work or I am not available to translate all the files?

No problem. No need to justify yourself, we are pleased with whatever work you have been able to do. Contact me at volunteers@ilga.org
