Stage 1

1. Translate the script sentence by sentence
2. Take enough care to see that each sentence when translated takes same or lesser time to read out than the original sentence
3. In some cases, you may merge 2 sentences in the translation so as to match the timing of the original 2 sentences
4. Use simple and precise words while translating
5. Retain common words like window, mouse, cursor, etc. in English
6. Read out the entire translated script and confirm the timing of each sentence again
7. Review the translated script against the Dubbers' Checklist and make the required modifications
8. To type the script in the wiki
   • Download the Google Indic Transliteration plugin from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8731/
   • Follow the instructions and install the plugin in Firefox. (This works only in Firefox 3.6 version)
   • Type your script on the wiki-page assigned to it
   • Create a page if it does not exist. Click on "create" tab
   • If the page already exists, click on the "edit" tab
   • Once in the text box, click within
   • This will reveal the indic fonts in a small drop-down box on the top RHS of the text box
   • Choose the appropriate font and type your script
   • You have to type in English. Eg- main ladki hoon will transliterate as मैं लड़की हूँ
9. To upload the script on the wiki
   • Click on "Upload file" on the LHS of the wiki (toolbox panel)
   • Choose the file you want to upload
