== Translation Guidelines ==
In the interest of consistency, I think we need to come to some agreement on the spelling of certain words and how they are translated from other versions of English. The following is the beginning of such a thing. Please feel free to change things. These are based my observations of how others have been translating in Rosetta. Wikipedia also has a good article on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_and_British_English_spelling_differences American and British English spelling differences].

 ||'''Original Spelling''' || '''Australian Translation'''|| '''Example''' ||
 || *or || *our || colour, favour, honour ||
 || *yze || *yse || analyse ||
 || *ize || *ise || colourise, organise, but not size||
 || *alog || *alogue || catalogue, dialogue ||
 || *er || *re || centre, fibre, metre, millimetre ||
 || *ior || *iour || behaviour ||
