+# Common arguments
+
+This page provides translations of commonly used arguments to simplify maintaining pages in foreign languages.  
+The best way to edit this file is by using [tableconvert.com](https://tableconvert.com/).  
+There, the old table can be **imported**, **edited** in a WYSIWYG editor and **exported** again.  
+Only the left-alignment of the header gets lost and has to be readded again (`|----` → `|:---`).
