This is a documentation subpage for User:Mathglot/sandbox/Templates/Template:X2 review help.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original user template page.

Purpose

When to use:

This template is intended to be used as an invitation to users to contribute to the X2 translation evaluation project by identifying the quality of articles on English Wikipedia that were translated from another language using the Content translation tool. Such translations, especially when used by editors without sufficient dual language skills, may introduce articles with errors of fact due to the poor quality of machine translation. Articles which are the result of a rough manual or a machine translation, and which subsequently underwent significant cleanup so that the level of English is now similar to other, never-translated articles, may obscure the fact that factual errors introduced by the translation are still there. The only way to determine the quality of a translated article, is for a person with dual language skills to evaluate it. Such speakers may be found by checking WikiProjects, the list of Translators available by language, and Categories of language speakers, such as Wikipedians by language or Available translators in Wikipedia.
