Wiki translation review checklist

For MIL-005 task 5 (issue #36): a native reader of Danish and of Bahasa Malaysia checks the translated wiki pages before they are treated as final. English is authoritative; the translations follow it (ADR-0001). The drafts were written without a native review, so please read them as a reader, not as a proofreader of the English.

This is a working document for reviewers, like the term list. It is not a project artifact.

Status (2026-10-11): no native reader was available; S01 accepted the translations as the stand-in of ADR-0002 (RC-050). This checklist stays for a native reader who wants to review them; the findings go in a pull request.

What to review

Fifteen pages exist on the wiki. You review the five pages of your language.

Page	Danish (da)	Bahasa Malaysia (ms)	What it is
Home	Home.da	Home.ms	Overview, requirements, setup, run, tests
Onboarding	Onboarding.da	Onboarding.ms	Steps to use the workflow, runners
Credentials	Credentials.da	Credentials.ms	Secrets, token permissions, rotation
Troubleshooting	Troubleshooting.da	Troubleshooting.ms	Error messages and fixes
Capabilities	Capabilities.da	Capabilities.ms	What exists and what is planned, with a diagram

Read each page next to its English page (Home, Onboarding, and so on). The files are in wiki/ in the repository (Home.da.md, Home.ms.md, ...).

Checklist (per page)

Mark each item Pass, Fix or N/A. A "Fix" needs a row in the findings table below.

#	Check	Notes
1	Meaning: every sentence says what the English says; nothing added, nothing dropped	Pay most attention to warnings (secrets, permissions, "not verified")
2	Natural language: reads as written by a native speaker, not as a word-for-word translation	Flag stiff or confusing phrasing, not only errors
3	Terms: the term list (wiki-terms.md) is followed, and the same English term is always translated the same way	If a term in the list is a poor choice, say so with a better one
4	Kept in English: commands, file names, JSON keys, secret names, scope names, and the workflow's messages in backticks are unchanged	A translated message would no longer match what the workflow prints
5	Register: a clear, professional tone for DevOps and software engineers; consistent use of "you" form	Danish: du; Bahasa Malaysia: neutral, no slang
6	Spelling, grammar, punctuation: including compounds (Danish) and affixes (Bahasa Malaysia)
7	Headings and links: headings are understandable; links go to the page in the same language	A link to an English page from a translated page is a defect
8	Tables: headers and cells are translated; the number of rows equals the English table	An automatic test already checks the row count
9	Numbers, dates, units: unchanged where they are technical (for example 03:17 UTC, HTTP 401)
10	Not misleading: nothing would make a reader take a wrong action (wrong secret, wrong scope, skipping a check)	A finding here is a blocker

Judgement calls to look at first

These are the choices where the draft is least certain.

Topic	Danish draft	Bahasa Malaysia draft	Question
secret (a stored credential)	secret	rahsia (secret)	Is the English word clearer to your readers, or the local word?
mirror, push mirror	spejl, push-spejl	cermin, push mirror	Does the term read as the Gitea feature?
workflow	workflow	aliran kerja (workflow)	Keep the English word, or the local term only?
repository	repository	repositori	Which one do engineers actually use?
use case	use case	kes guna (use case)	Is kes guna understood, or is use case better?
preflight check	forhåndskontrol (preflight)	semakan awal (preflight)	Does the explanation help, or is it noise?
least privilege	mindste rettigheder	keistimewaan paling minimum	Is this the term security staff use?
rotate a token	Udskiftning af et token	Menukar token	Does it say "replace with a new one"?

Bahasa Malaysia is the weaker draft; please read it more critically.

Findings

One row per finding. Quote the current text and give your proposed text.

#	Page	Section or line	Current text	Proposed text	Why	Severity
1						Blocker / Fix / Suggestion

Severity: Blocker changes the meaning or could mislead; Fix is a mistake that should be corrected; Suggestion is a style preference.

Outcome

Language	Reviewer (name)	Date	Result
Danish			Go / Go with fixes / No-Go
Bahasa Malaysia			Go / Go with fixes / No-Go

After the review

1. Send the filled findings table and the outcome to S01.
2. Fixes are made in the wiki/*.da.md and wiki/*.ms.md files through a pull request; the first line of each translation (the source hash) stays as it is unless the English page changed.
3. The pull request lists the wiki pages it changes (rule 8 of AGENTS.md).
4. When both languages are Go, issue #36 is closed and MIL-005 can be closed.
