Go to the Translatewiki.net homepage and click the "Start Translating" button.  You'll be prompted with a Getting Started Wizard that has the following steps to follow. 

1. Sign the Contributor Agreement - http://mifos.org/contributors/fine-print/contributor-agreementSign up for an account.
   1. From the Getting Started Wizard, follow the steps for creating an account.
   2. You will be sent a confirmation e-mail. Please confirm to activate e-mail features on your account.
   3. Log in to continue the process to get translation privileges
2. Configure your preferences
   1. Click the link at the top of the page titled "My Preferences."
   2. IMPORTANT - There is a known issue with having the Language setting for Internationalization under the User Profile preference be set to "en". Set it to your actual language, if this is English set it to "en-GB". This is necessary to successfully go through this process.
   3. Another useful setting under preference is the "Assistant languages" setting under the "Editing" preferences. Set this to the language you'll be translating in to and you'll get a helpful translation assistant with suggested translations.
   4. Configure any other preferences as needed and click "Save"
   5. On the wizard page, click the "I'm done. Let me proceed." button to move forward with creating a user page.

   2. On the wizard page you should be prompted with a form to create a new user page. Follow the directions provided in the wizard to specify your languages and your proficiency in them.  Make sure your markup matches the correct format.
   3. Write a quick bio stating who you are, and what languages you'll be translating into.
   4. Click "Save"and follow the steps to submit your user page. Once successful, the wizard should reflect the that the first three steps of "Getting Started" are done. 
      • (If this form doesn't appear, you can create the user page manually by clicking your user name at the top of the page - from there you will see a link to edit this page if one doesn't exist.)
4. Request translator permissions
   1. From the Getting Started Wizard, click the Project:Translator link to create a wiki page to request translation privileges. From there follow the directions to submit a request stating what language you would like to translate to and for what project.

5. Start translating
   1. Once your request is approved, follow steps below:
