If you notice any errors in the original texts, please report them HERE.

Various source files enter the system automatically, either sent in by users or prepared by a team of subscribers. Instructions explaining how to deliver source files will be added soon.

Several formats may be imported, including: TXT, CSV, HTML, Open Documents Formats. Unfortunately, PDF imports are not supported because the proper layout cannot be preserved. Proprietary formats (such as M$ Window$' formats) usually don't work and users have to convert them manually before import (following a specific set of rules).

...to Joomla

No additional info is needed to request an additional language for the main forums. You only need to request that the language be added.

...to Wiki

Currently, the following languages are available in Zeitgeist Movement Wiki:

ar bg bn cs da de el en es fa fi fr he hn hr hu it ja ko lt lv ms nl pl pt ro ru sr sv tr uk zh 

To create a separate, translated version of a page in our wiki (in a language other than English), click on 'Edit' in the menu at the top of the page to enter the page editor and then select the language you wish to use from the abbreviations at the top of the next page. Translate the page content into your chosen language and be sure to click the 'Save Page' button at the bottom when you're done. The wiki will automatically add & link the page to the English version and also provide references to them when multiple languages are available. For example, if the English version is called Main Page, the French version will become Main Page/fr and the Spanish version will become Main Page/es.

If you're unable to complete the task, contact us for assistance.
