See also: Wikipedia:Translation, Category:Wikipedia articles needing translation and Category:AfC submissions declined as not in English

This version of Wikipedia is written in English (see Main Page#Wikipedia languages). With this being said, this page is a place to list foreign language articles on the English Wikipedia, to see if they can be translated before they are listed on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. If someone speaks the language the article is written in and can state that it is not worth translating, the item should be moved to AfD or tagged with {{prod}}.

Standard procedures

If the article is a mere copy of (all or part of) an article in a foreign-language Wikipedia, it can just be tagged with {{db-foreign}} to get added to Wikipedia:Candidates for speedy deletion: we want to discourage people who cut articles from one Wikipedia and paste to another without translating. If you want to ask for a translation of an article from a foreign-language Wikipedia, go to Wikipedia:Translation. Or instead you can leave a message on the contributing user's talk-page using the templates from Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English/Templates for user talk pages or using {{UE}}.

Sometimes, legitimate articles are replaced by foreign-language content. In this case, the last English-language version should be restored from the history.

If an article has been listed here for two weeks and is still untranslated, it should be nominated for deletion.

When listing a page here, you might want to find the Wikipedia:Embassy or Ambassador member of the Wikipedia that relates to the language the article is in and invite them to move the page to their own Wikipedia. If you don't even know what language the article is in you could use Language recognition chart and if that fails, some language recognition web site, such as Xerox or What Language Is This? to find out. If you have come here from another Wikipedia, please note on this page what you think should be done with the article.

Articles that are not in English are still subject to all other forms of speedy deletion should they meet the criteria, and can be nominated for deletion by prod or afd should an editor feel they warrant deletion for a reason other than the language it is in, an article not being in English is not itself a criterion for deletion until the two week period has passed. Also, foreign-language articles are still subject to blp prod.

When a page listed here has been translated, its entry should be removed (or moved to cleanup if the translation needs another pair of eyes).

Boilerplate text

Translate page

For a page that needs translation in its entirety (so it would be appropriate to delete if not fixed):

1. Use the notice {{notenglish|NameOfLanguage}} if you know the language used, or {{notenglish}} if you cannot identify the language of the page in question. The template will show up as:

2. Add a mention on this page.

2.1. If you know what language was used, add:

{{subst:Needtrans| pg= | Language=NameOfLanguage| Comments= }}--~~~~

replacing NameOfLanguage with the English name of the language.

2.2. If you cannot identify the language used, add:

{{subst:Needtrans| pg= | Language=unknown| Comments= }}--~~~~

3. You may also choose to warn the contributing editor with {{uw-english}}, the "use English" warning, or suggest to use a different language Wikipedia with {{contrib-xx1}}, where xx is the language code (see available templates). An alternate template for identifying the article as having been listed here is {{uw-notenglish}}. Usage is:

{{subst:uw-notenglish|articlename|<optional text>}}~~~~

Bilingual versions of this template have been created for Norwegian, Spanish, Polish, and French. See the note on these at {{uw-notenglish}}.

Translate section

If there is just a section that needs translation:

1. Use the notice {{Not English|NameOfLanguage|section}}, with the word "section" as a second unnamed parameter at the beginning of the non-English content. The template will show up as:

2. Add a mention on this page, as above.

3. You may wish to place a note on the talk pages of contributors of non-English material, saying that English Wikipedia is meant for English-language content, inviting them to translate it, and, if appropriate, suggesting the location of the Wikipedia edition for the language in question should they wish to post content in that language.

Cleanup

If the article has been translated, but needs attention from someone approaching dual fluency in both languages:

1. Use the notice {{cleanup-translation}}, which will show up as:

2. Add a mention to the translation cleanup section.

Pages for consideration

If you are not completely sure of what language an article is written in, check the language recognition chart.
If you are sure, consider placing the corresponding template on the creator's talk page.

Looks like Sinhalese. It is about the Buddhist concept of sakkāya diṭṭhiya. We currently have a enWP page titled sakkaya-ditthi, but it is a redirect to its subsection of the wider fetters (Buddhism) article. I don't feel confident enough to translate it myself, but from what I can tell, it doesn't seem like there's anything there worth translating to a stand-alone article that isn't in the English "fetters" subsection already anyway.--William Thweatt ^TalkContribs 19:13, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

Still in need of attention a year later; witness such sentences as: "First batter and slid wide household." or, "Of these keys dangled a chain so that the lowest point coincided with the arrow to the bow."

Reestablishment of the episcopal hierarchy in the Netherlands

The initial language of this article was Dutch. It was machine translated and some content is unintelligible. I interpreted some of the translation. It needs a proofreading. BoBoMisiu (talk) 18:33, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

If you're not capable of translating an article properly yourself, do not add a machine translation, it doesn't help anyone. All we have now is a bad article you have added to an already significant backlog. WP:TRANSLATION is the correct procedure, please follow it in future--Jac16888 ^Talk 18:50, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Mmmm. I did read WP:TRANSLATION previously – before I started anything. So what is the {{Rough translation}} template for? Jac16888, should I have used {{cleanup-translation}}? Is there a procedure for marking or tagging what, in an otherwise reasonable translation, needs attention from a proficient user? –BoBoMisiu (talk) 21:38, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Both are those tags are for when editors do not follow procedure, create a badly translated article, and then leave it for somebody else to fix--Jac16888 ^Talk 22:27, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Mmmm. It is unfortunate that after years of contributing to Wikipedia I still misunderstand procedures. Again, Is there a procedure for marking or tagging what, in an otherwise reasonable translation, needs attention from a proficient user? Is there an inline span tag to identify a questionable translation? It would help a proofreader who proofreads to see what another, semi proficient, contributor identified as a questionable translation. --BoBoMisiu (talk) 02:07, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘Changed hatnote to {{cleanup-translation}} my only translation doubt is:

• {{notenglish-inline}} may be what you want. Si Trew (talk) 15:03, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ @BoBoMisiu: Dutch isn't easy to translate. Computers suck at it. Please do not post Dutch => English machine-translations on Wikipedia. I fixed a huge amount of errors. If you want to translate Dutch texts to English then you need to learn Dutch first. I know this is disappointing, and I wish computers were better at translating Dutch, but it is true. You should click here and ask the writer of the article to check the translation. Please don't do this again. In the future, please contact a Dutch Wikipedian (This link creates a new section in the Dutch version of the village pump) and ask for help. Everyone in the Netherlands speaks English. German pop music (sucks) 23:43, 18 September 2015 (UTC) @German pop music and Quixotic Potato: thank you for the editing, I wish that the suggestions that German pop music gave today about the support pages on nl.wikipedia to visit. As I wrote last year, I read WP:TRANSLATION and though I did follow the rules. The machine translation gave a fairly good translation when I compared it to the Dutch that I guessed from my German. I wish there was a span template for marking or tagging what, in an otherwise reasonable translation, needed attention from a proficient user. Sorry for the trouble, but now there is a decent article about an important event for Catholics in the Netherlands. Thank you German pop music. –BoBoMisiu (talk) 02:26, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

This article has been on Wikipedia since 2008, but the text seems mostly unaltered and reads like a poor translation from Czech. Can it be helped? --Dweller (talk) 15:01, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Yes. It is almost intelligible in places and I do not speak Czech at all. I am definitely not competent to do anything but superficial smoothing here though and would be liable to make huge mistakes through utter ignorance. But I fished one like this out of the polish pile once and it turned out to be of interest on several levels once people noticed it. Subject of this article appears to be unquestionably notable. Perhaps there is some list or portal it can be added to? Elinruby (talk)

The bio content was added with this revision of 22 January 2014], by User:Kergourlay. That user did do quite a lot of cleanup to other sections, so perhaps just forgot about it. I'll have a go but I often get stuck with specialist musical terms. Si Trew (talk) 16:34, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

I worked on this a bit but this is strictly a pro bono project for me, please do not let what I have done make anyone feel shy about picking it up. I am pretty tired of Breton harps right now, and by the way, took a look on Commons for a picture and did not find one, so there's a project for someone if someone wants. Elinruby (talk) 23:32, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

I don't understand what you mean by it being "strictly a pro bon project for me", you think the rest of us get paid for it? Si Trew (talk) 14:02, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

Not at all. I just need to periodically remind myself that these translations are not paying the bills. I do them as a service for the public good. As I am sure most of the rest of you do as well. I have run into paid editors, but not in the area of translation, at least not on this kind of article which is or primarily cultural interest. I am more or less bilingual, but only moderately interested in Breton harps. In other words, if you can improve my translations, please do. 207.47.13.214 (talk) 22:09, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

That's a very nice way to put it. Thank you for that. For myself, I am only interested in a harp if it has Guinness written above it, but I think we made a good stab at making it better. Si Trew (talk) 00:15, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

@Elinruby, looks like you're doing a great job over there. Have a question for you, and other experienced translator/copy-editors seeing this comment, namely: is there a standard way to leave a "pointer" or other indicator of how far you have gotten, or otherwise to apportion translation/copy-edit tasks among more than one editor?

I looked at this article and it's quite long; jumping around in it, I can see edited portions that are good now, and other sections that range from okay to poor, and it's easy to see which those are, but the article is so long, I don't wish to spend tons of time reading the whole thing just to assess which parts still need work. Not to mention the fact that I don't wish to barge in on the first "poor" section, and end up with an unintended edit conflict with you. Any ideas from anybody on how best to do this? As a first guess, I'm thinking a section on the Talk page of the article itself to discuss how far one has gotten, or alternatively, "I plan to translate sections X through Y next" or something. I'd be happy to help out on this article, but don't wish to duplicate effort or step on your toes. Thoughts? Mathglot (talk) 21:58, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

@Mathglot, if you are interested in picking up on the article, I couldn't be happier; I put it back on the list recently when I realized that I took it off when I started work on it, intending, at the time to finish it, but as you say, it is very long and while my French is quite fluent I don't have any particular background in architecture, let alone religious architecture, in either language. I was worked on several articles on this as a public service back when I was sick and unable to work, and picked this one because I was rather saddened by the comment that it was incomprehensible, which indeed it was. It does seem to be an important landmark, but I have since gotten quite busy and have other translation projects I have also not finished and am more personally invested in. If you do not pick it up and nobody else does either, I will try to get back to it, but meanwhile yes, it still needs considerable help as of about 2/3 of the way through and after that will still need a re-write for style as it was almost certainly a machine translation of a French-language guide book. I'll come back and give a precise indication of where to pick on on translation per se. Elinruby (talk) 19:50, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

My translation-improvement effort stops in the section after "side walls" in Archtecture:Exterior. I worked on that section a bit, I think, but there is an incomplete sentence and I do not have time to go research what it is in fact supposed to say. And @Mathglot, thank you for bringing a template to my attention, possibly it does apply and if so I will try to put it on there anon ;) Elinruby (talk)

Yeah, lots of specialized vocab, it's slow going. Did a few subsections, not sure how much further I'll take it. I may update sporadically as I have the time. Left breadcrumbs in the History so you can see pretty exactly what I've done. Mathglot (talk) 02:35, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Exactly the right way to do it, @Mathglot:. Church articles are really hard, how one does translate virginals for example? It's very hard. Thou art my downsitting and my uprising, it is kinda impossible to translate it properly. I think the difference between the Roman catholic and Protestant traditions makes it harder, too.

Someone seems to have worked on this. I only skimmed superficially but this does not look bad at all. One comment, if someone wants a nice manageable task, is that a lot of the red links for other Canadian musicians do in fact have wikipedia pages on the french wikipedia, so changing these to interlanguage links by adding a language code might make them more likely to un-redify. I may possibly come back to this as I am interested in the Canadian part but it won't be soon so don't let me stop anyone else meanwhile. Elinruby (talk) 21:49, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
