## 0200-12-29-introduction

The first parts of this module follows the pattern you have learnt whilst translating the beginner module, but there are some additional things to be aware of.

### A village in Indonesia

![A village in Indonesia][]

This is all computer instruction, use ![tx-copy-button][]{: height="34px"} and then click on ![tx-save][]{: height="34px"}

it remains as;

![A village in Indonesia][]

Sometimes you will see the image link with extra information, such as this link for the ![tx-save][]{: height="34px"} button;

![tx-save][]{: height="34px"}

copy it unchanged.

Please do this for all of the image links that you find whilst translating.

### A village in Indonesia - the anchor

Near the end of translating a module you will find the anchor's for the image links. The anchor for \!\[A village in Indonesia\]\[\] appears as;

[A village in Indonesia]: /images/beginner/village-in-indonesia.png

and should be copied across unchanged.

[A village in Indonesia]: /images/beginner/village-in-indonesia.png

## Hidden Text

Some text is hidden from the normal viewers, perhaps as instructions, or more likely as something which will be expanded upon later. It takes the form of;

<!-- all of the text between these markers is hidden -->

You do not need to translate this text, but please copy it across unchanged (so that your translation is at 100% when you finished, and it will then be copied across to the main site. Sometimes the hidden text can be extremely large, extending over several paragraphs.

The spaces at the beginning of lines of text are formatting instructions that the text and images should be indented. There are often two spaces at the end of a line of text, which is also a formatting instruction, as is `>` if it is at the beginning of a line.
