<!------------Main Text---------->
After you [[Special:Userlogin|register]] on Mormon Translation, you can [[Mormon_Translation:Future_Translations|create]], [[Mormon_Translation:How to Edit|improve]] and [[Mormon_Translation:How to use|share]] translations of Mormon books and documents in other languages.

==The Problem==
In the past 175 years, some 25,000 Mormon books and other documents have been written. But today, except for a few provided by the LDS Church, no more than a few dozen are available in any one language except English. While the LDS Church actively translates a lot of basic documents into a wide variety of languages, its efforts are limited to those books, manuals and other materials considered crucial to the functioning of the Church and its members. Novels, poetry, history and even many doctrinal works are usually not translated by the Church. As a result, members that do not speak English simply don't have access to thousands of valuable and helpful books.

==Mormon Translation==
This site attempts to provide a solution. We start with carefully [[Mormon_Translation:Translation_Criteria|selected]] books and other documents in the [[Mormon_Translation:Copyright|public domain]] or other works we can get [[Mormon_Translation:Copyright|permission]] to translate. Mormon Translation then tries to harness the interest and knowledge of a large [[Mormon_Translation:Volunteer|community]] of Mormons to translate documents from English into other Languages. Our [[Mormon_Translation:Volunteer|volunteers]], who draw on many different levels of [[Mormon_Translation:Skills|skills and experience]], follow a [[Mormon_Translation:Translation_Process|process]] of revising and improving each translation, until the translation meets our [[Mormon_Translation:Translation_Standards|standards]].

Here you can read both completed translations and those in process and help improve them so that others have better access to these works.
