Welcome to the practice l10n article for SUMO! Here you can see how the elements in Knowledge Base articles in SUMO work together to allow for many combinations of content on one page. It can look quite complex at first, so pay attention - but it's also a very easy to use and powerful tool!

This article can be localized by anyone with a SUMO account, and the localized version should be deleted after the localizer feels confident with working in the KB, to make it possible for new contributors to practice.

To get started with the practice, please click the "Translate article" link on the side. Things will look a bit differently, but you will see instructions in the "Content" field, so don't worry!

Let's get practicing!

First, let's take a look at basic formatting

This text should be normal.
This text should be bold.
This text should be italicized.
This text should be bold AND italicized.

• This should be a bullet point for the top list.
  • This should be a sub-bullet point.
    • This should be a sub-sub-bullet point.
• This should be another bullet point for the top list.

1. This should be a numbered list element for the top list.
   1. This should be a numbered list sub-element.
   2. This should be the next numbered list sub-element.
      1. This should be a numbered list sub-sub-element.
      2. This should be the next numbered list sub-sub-element.
2. This should be the next numbered list element for the top list.

Very often, an article will contain references to the user interface of the software it describes. We use a bunch of different formatting options for that, too!
This is a button highlight, and This should be a menu option highlight.

Now, let's practice for statements

You can find all the information on how to use for statements (including very intricate combinations ;D) when you read How to use "For" tags.
