====== Adding New Translations ======

You can help us add new authentic translations to Tanzil by sending us the translation text according to the format described below.

===== Translation file =====
Each translation used in Tanzil is simply composed of a single text file in UTF-8 encoding. Each line of this text file corresponds to a single aya, in the same order appeared in the holy quran. Thus, every translation file has exactly 6236 lines. 

You can find examples of our translation files at [[http://tanzil.net/trans/|this page]].

**Notes**
  * The translation file can be in any language, as long as it is encoded in UTF-8.
  * Each line of the translation file can be optionally started with the sura:aya number.
  * Footnotes and explanatory comments coming after each aya must be put inside double braces <nowiki>[[...]]</nowiki>.

===== How to submit a translation =====

Prepare the translation file according to the format described above. Then send us the file along with the following information:
  * The **name** of the translator, in both English and the local language.
  * The **source** from which the translation is obtained or extracted, along with an original copy if available.
  * The translation **information**, such as the year of publication, and the copyright holder (if there is any).
  * The translator's **biography** (preferably a link to the translator's page on Wikipedia).

Please submit the prepared files directly to admin at tanzil dot net.
