RELATED PROJECTS

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}}.

[edit] 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 criteria 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).

[edit] Boilerplate text

[edit] 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|datein2weeksfromlisting}}~~~~

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

[edit] Translate section

If there is just a section that needs translation:

1. Use the notice {{notenglish|NameOfLanguage|section}}, with the word "section" as a second unnamed parameter, or the shortcut {{Notenglish-section|NameOfLanguage}}, 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.

[edit] 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.

[edit] Pages for consideration

Shortcut: WP:PNTFC

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.

[edit] Indo-Scythians in Indian literature

The language of this article is possibly Hindi or Sanskrit. The reference titles need translation. De728631 (talk) 21:30, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Its "Sanskrit" and its a poem from Mahabharata (The first reference is from Udyoga-parva;see also Mahabharata).But unfortunately I can't translate more than this. Anyone looking to translate may find this useful.It is from here that I can say "

pratipadaarthaH shakAnAM pahlavAnA.n cha daradAnAM = of the shakAs pahlavAs and daradAs;
ye = whoever;
nR^ipAH = their kings;
kAmbojAH R^iShikAH = kAmbojAH R^iShikAH;
ye = whoever;
pashchimAnUpakAH = those who live on the west side;
cha = and; "

[edit] Vietnamese poetry

The initial language of this article was Vietnamese. Also needs to be rewritten, because it was taken fro the Vietnamese wikipedia page on poetry. So it contains material about poetry in general, as well as some stuff about the Vietnamese language, which is relevant but needs to be addressed to an English-speaking audience.

[edit] April 2011

Needs a lot more than copy editing.

The initial language of this article was norwegian. The translation is awkward, and there has been little proofreading or knowledge in neither the subject, norwegian nor english.

To clarify: Not copied by me, but by same original IP contributor to EN:WP. References are all to own blogsites etc i.e. fail WP:OR and so on. Would have taken WP:CSD on this except it is under PROD and I believe that is not form to do so. Si Trew (talk) 23:35, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

It's at WP:AFD now. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 05:10, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Fiat totem

The initial language of this article was Italian. This is a translation of it:TOTEM (cogeneratore), and there is a strong possibility that it is a copyright infringement of [1]. (see duplication detector report; compare it to the duplication detector report on the original. This suggests that content started closer to the original and gradually evolved away.)
