FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Translate Mexico municipality histories

Purpose
Many Mexico municipality pages were able to be auto-created in the English wiki! But we need to manually translate over the History section.

Instructions
1. Open the Task List, and add your name to the Name column for the page you want to sign up for.

2. Click on the Municipality Page link and go to that Wiki page. 

3. Click "Edit Source" next to the History heading.

4. Copy everything under the History heading.

5. In a new internet browser tab, open Google Translate, and make sure the language on the left-hand side is Spanish, and the language on the right-hand side is English.

6. Paste everything you copied from step 4 into the left-hand side (Spanish) of Google Translate. 

7. Copy the equivalent English result of that translation, and replace the content under the "History" heading on the Wiki page with the new translation.

8. Review the new translation and fix the following things:
 * Grammar: We don't need to be super nit-picky about grammar, but read through the new English translation and make sure it reads like good English. Make any adjustments you need to make to help it read well.
 * URL: Occasionally, Google Translate will mess up any URLs that go through the translation system. Make sure that no additional spaces are added in the URL in the Reference code, and that the link in the reference is functional after you translate it.
 * Bullet points: In front of every sentence, make sure there is a bullet point (an asterisk * ), and make each sentence on its own line. 

9. After you've fixed the things from step 8, click "Show preview" and make sure things look good.
 * Because there is a reference included in the "History" heading, when you click "Show preview", you may see a display "Preview of references" heading. That heading is just for display before you save, and will show you that the reference code will create a footnote.

10. If the page looks good, add the following statement to the Summary section: /* History */ translated history  11. Save the page.

12. Add the date to the Date Completed column of the task list, and continue to the next municipality.
