 Once you have done your edits, you can mark the changes to be translated by doing the following :
 #Ensure that the new text to be translated is enclosed within &lt;translate&gt; &lt;/translate&gt; tags.
+#Conversely, please enclose code blocks in &lt;/translate&gt; &lt;translate&gt; tags so that they are excluded from translation.
+#Likewise, try to exclude wiki markup (tables, tags, etc) from translation.
 #Go in “View” mode. You should see the text “This page has changes since it was last marked for translation.” at the top of the page. Click on “marked for translation”.
-#Review the translation units. Try to ensure that no wiki code (tables, tags, etc) gets translated. This can be done by breaking the page in multiple &lt;translate&gt; &lt;/translate&gt; sections.
+#Review the translation units.  Check that code blocks and wiki markup are excluded, and all plain text is included.
-#In the “Priority languages” section, write either “fr” or “en” as the priority language, that is, the language into which it needs to be translated.
+#In the “Priority languages” section, verify that “fr” or “en” appears as the priority language, that is, the language into which it needs to be translated.
 #Click on “Mark this version for translation”
