CPDL is a wiki site, which means anyone can edit it. So you add a text or translation simply by clicking the 'edit' tab at the top of the page, then typing (or pasting) the text and saving the page.

That's it!

Herr, lassest du deinen diener in Frieden fahren,wie duver heiben hast. Denn mein Auge hat dienen heiland gesehn, den du bereitet vor allen Volkern, das er ein Licht sei den Heiden; und zu Preis und Ehre deines Volkes Israel.Herr, nun lasstes du deinen diener in Frieden fahren, mein Auge hat deinen Heiland gesehn, welchen du bereitet, das er ein Licht sei den Heiden, und zum Preise deines Volkes Israel. GLORIA Ehre sei dem VATER, und dem Sohne, und dem heiligen Geist, wie es war zu Anfang jetzt, und immer dar, und von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit. Amen. If you are more familiar with the wiki format, you can use a few extra tricks when adding a text or translation. This saves other editors a little work.

So, in addition to typing the text, you should also:

  1. Remove the line that reads '{{NoTextHeader}}'.
  2. Uncomment 3 lines. 'Uncommenting' means removing '<!-- ' and ' -->' from the line in question. So:
    • '<-- ==Original text and translations== -->' becomes '==Original text and translations=='
    • becomes 'Original text: </nowiki>'
    • becomes 'Translation(s): '</nowiki>
  • Add a language template at the top of the text that corresponds to the text or translation that you have added (i.e. {{Text|Latin}}, {{Translation|English}}, {{Translation|Dutch}}, etc.)

You also may wish to check out some wiki formatting commands such

  • <br> - line break
  • '' - italics (2 single quotes)
  • : - indent
