### What to Know Before Translation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is recommended that you consult the [Translation Manual](../../translate/translate-manual/01.md) frequently as you translate this content. Before you start translating, we recommend that you start working your way through the Translation Manual at least until you know the difference between a literal translation and a meaning-based translation. Much of the rest of the Translation Manual can be used as a "just-in-time" learning resource.
