Validating a website is the process of ensuring that the pages on the website conform to the norms or standards defined by various organizations. Validation is important, and will ensure that your web pages are interpreted in the same way (the way you want it) by various machines, such as search engines, as well as users and visitors to your webpage.

确认一个网站是一个过程，就是确保站点上的网页符合不同的组织所规定的标准。确认非常的重要，能够确保你的网页被不同机器翻译的方式是相同的（你想要它被翻译的方式），例如搜索引擎，以及你的网页上的用户和访客。

Conforming to standards and regulations is one of the many ways you can make your website universally understood. Make sure your codes and styles validate across the board. That means they have to meet the "strict" standards set by the W3C Organization and pass a variety of validations for CSS and XHTML.

符合标准和规则是使广泛的人群了解你的站点的方法之一。确保你的代码和形式在面板上是有效的。这意味着它们要符合W3C 阻止所规定的"严格的"标准，并且为CSS 和XHTML通过许多的确认过程。

Not all validators check for the same things. Some only check CSS, others XHTML, and others for accessibility. If you are sincere in presenting standardized pages to the public, test them with several validators. The World Wide Web Consortium sets the standards and also hosts a variety of web page validators.

并不是所有的validators都核对同样的内容。有的只核对CSS,有的核对XHML,还有其它的核对可访问性。如果你非常真诚地想要向公众显示标准的网页，用几个validators将这些网页测试一下。环球网团体设置了标准，同时也托管了许多的网页 validators。

In simple terms, validation ensures that your website complies with the standards accepted by most web designers. That also means that it will be accessible to more people, across more web browsers and operation systems. Having an accessible website is also regarded as good web design practice. As you can see, having a validated website has its definite plus points.

简单地来说，确认过程确保了你的网站符合了大多数网站设计者的接受的标准。这也意味着，更多的人可以通过更多的网络浏览器和操作系统访问你的网站。拥有一个可访问的网站也被认为是一个好的网络设计原则。如你所看到的那样，有一个确认过的网站，有一定的加分。

The [[WordPress:#Validation Resources and Articles|resources and articles on validation]] below will help you learn more about validating your web page.

Validating your WordPress site means more than just checking the front page for errors. With the modular Themes and template files in WordPress, while you may fix all the errors associated with the index.php and sidebar.php when viewing your front page, errors may still lie within any other template files such as single.php, page.php, archives.php, or category.php. Validate these page views as well to make sure you cover all the template files.

确认你的WordPress站点意味着不仅仅检查首页上的错误。根据WordPress中的模的标题和标题文件，当你访问你的首页的时候，你可能解决了所有的与index.php和sidebar.php相关的问题，但是问题可能仍然存在任何其它的模板文件中，例如single.php, page.php, archives.php, 或者category.php。确认这些网页浏览，同时确保你检查了所有的模板文件。

Validation errors aren't limited to your template files. They can also happen inside of a post. When you are writing a post and using HTML, WordPress might not recognize the HTML and convert it to a character entity, or you may have entered it wrong. If you have a page with a lot of HTML coding, validate it to make sure you have it all correct. And occasionally check random posts to make sure everything is still okay from time to time as part of your general housekeeping.

确认错误不仅仅局限与你的模板文件上的错误，也可能包括你的文章中出现的错误。当你正在[[WordPress:Writing Posts|写一篇文章]，使用HTML时，WordPress可能不能识别HTML,也不能将它转变为字符实体,或者你将它输错了。如果你有一个网页，网页上有许多的HTML代码，确认这些代码，以确认这些代码都是正确的。不是地随意检查一篇文章，以确保每个部分每时都是正确的，并把这个作为你的系统管理的一个部分。

Validation doesn't just mean putting your pages through some web driven testers. It also means test-driving it with friends, relatives, co-workers, and strangers. Everyone has a different system and way of working, so ask for others to test-drive your styles or themes before you make them public.

确认比仅仅意味着使你的网页通过一些网络驱使的检测器。确认过程也意味着和朋友，亲戚，合作者，和陌生人，共同地来对网页进行检测。每一个人都有一个不同的系统和不同的工作方式，因此在将你的样式和主题公共化之前，叫其它的人来试运行你的样式和主题。
