This template is generated by {{Expand language}}. It is used to mark articles that are better in {{{1}}} Wikipedia than in English Wikipedia, and thus should be translated from {{{1}}} into English.
Usage
To mark an article, tag it near the end (bottom) with
{{Expand {{{1}}}|{{{1}}}articletitle|date=July 2024}}
This template marks an opportunity, not a fault. It is less important than a stub mark. Therefore it should not be used as an urgent warning in the beginning of articles.
This template places articles in the category [[:Category:Articles needing translation from {{{1}}} Wikipedia]].
Because of this, the template should be added to the article page, and not to the Talk page.
Optional parameters
Foreign language featured articles can be marked using fa=yes, as in
{{Expand {{{1}}}|fa=yes|date=July 2024}}
