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 the intent is to ask for a translation of an article from a foreign-language Wikipedia, the correct place to do that is Wikipedia:Translation. As an alternative, you can leave a message on the contributing users 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 moved to AfD. When moving items to AfD, the boilerplate text on the article should be changed from {{notenglish}} to {{subst:afd}} and the other deletion steps should be carried out.

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 xrce, or languid.cantbedone.org to find out. Please leave a note on this page if you do this to prevent duplication of messages. If you have come here from another Wikipedia, please note on this page what you think should be done with the article.

Please check for copyvio before listing here. (Articles which meet the criteria for CSD G12 can be speedily deleted with {{db-copyvio}}, others copyvios should be listed on WP:CP.) If you can tell what language an article is written in, that might help. Also consider posting the first line or so.

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

Boilerplate text

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:

This article needs translation into English. This article is written in a language other than English. If it is intended for readers from the community of that language, it should be contributed to the Wikipedia in that language. See list of Wikipedias. Please see this article's entry on Pages needing translation into English for discussion. If the article is not rewritten in English within the next two weeks it will be listed for deletion and/or moved to the Wikipedia in its current language. If you have just labeled this page as needing translation, please add {{subst:Needtrans | pg = Pages needing translation into English | Language = unknown | Comments = }} ~~~~ to the bottom of this section of Pages needing translation into English.

2. Add a mention on this page, using:

{{subst:Needtrans| pg= | Language=NameOfLanguage| Comments= }}--~~~~ replacing NameOfLanguage with the English name of the language if you know which language was used, or {{subst:Needtrans| pg= | Language=unknown| Comments= }}--~~~~ if you cannot identify the language used

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 (available templates). An alternate template for identifying the article as having been listed here is {{uw-notenglish}}. Usage is {{subst:uw-notenglish|articlename|datein2weeksfromlisting}}~~~~.

If there is just a section that needs translation, that notice is inappropriate, so it's a little trickier:

1. Use [[Category:Wikipedia articles needing translation]].

2. Add an appropriate note at the top of the page in question, e.g.:

''Section [[#name-of-section|name-of-section]] contains text that needs translation into English.''.

3. Add a mention on this page.

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:

This article contains translated text and needs attention from someone approaching dual fluency. Please see this article's entry on Pages needing translation into English for discussion. If you have just labeled this page as needing such attention, please add {{subst:Duflu | pg= Pages needing translation into English | Language = | Comments = }} ~~~~ to the bottom of Pages needing translation into English.

2. Add a mention to the translation cleanup section on this page.

The language of this article is Chinese. Not sure which type of Chinese.--Somno (talk) 06:24, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

• About Cristiano Ronaldo's sister. May indeed be notable. BalkanFever 12:18, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

The creator has translated it, but it still needs cleanup (the translation wasn't brilliant and some of the content is unencyclopedic). Hut 8.5 12:54, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

There is a gramatically correct version on hr.wiki, but it still has some weird elements ("Personal card"?) Admiral Norton ^(talk) 15:01, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Yerel Ağ Bağlantısı

The language of this article is Turkish. Matt (Talk) 06:24, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

• Judging from the appearance of certain English words in the article (Local Area Network, PC, printer, and server) I think the article is about PCs, printers and servers on a LAN. I think it is unlikely that we do not already have this content, but only a Turkish speaker can know for sure. Any other thoughts? --Cbdorsett (talk) 06:44, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
  • It's an article about LAN. Of course, tr-wiki already has one (tr:Yerel alan ağı), but some material might conceivably be useful for merging there. (I leave it to the experts to work out how this is done transwiki-technically.) Fut.Perf. ☼ 10:10, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

José David Name Cardoso

The language of this article is Spanish. De728631 (talk) 19:36, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

• It's about a Venezuelan Senator. Somewhere I read that these articles are considered inherently important. If so, then the article should be sent off for translation. It's relatively short. Before running for office, he was educated in the US, ran a T-shirt company, worked for an insurance company, and became Venezuelan consul in New York. --Cbdorsett (talk) 07:06, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

The language of this article is Chinese. It looks like somebody did already translate something but forgot to remove the original script. Might just need cleanup. De728631 (talk) 19:36, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

  • Guys, see the October 29 section above please. BalkanFever 10:12, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, it didn't go so well. I don't know the first thing about Armenian writing, but I could see that the article, on the Armenian Wikipedia, has been tagged with a template that has a drawing of a garbage can on it. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 23:40, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Persian. Titles transcribes as i(?)qlām āmār bakhshī or similar; āmār means 'statistics' in Persian, article content seems to be about something related to education (doctoral degrees, students, examinations...) Can't pin it down though. Fut.Perf. ☼ 10:16, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

• I'm not impressed with this one. I think the content is probably non-notable and it sure looks like the article is non-encyclopedic. Who needs a table with one row? I think it should be prodded.

I can't understand a word of Maltese, but from it's general similarity to other languages and the pictures included in the article, it looks like it could be a translation of the English article on European Social Fund. Scbarry (talk) 18:54, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Indeed, definitely. Which means it should be transwikied to the Maltese Wikipedia, right? (Supposing we have one.) Fut.Perf. ☼ 21:53, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

This is one for the Balkans experts. Macedonian. De728631 (talk) 23:33, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

• This one looks like a personal op-ed piece. It refers to Adam and Eve, evolution, the Cretaceous period, The Homo genus in Africa, Neanderthals in Europe, fossil evidence, Homo habilis ... and that's just in the first half. I think it's actually some student's paper. Might be well written, but I doubt there's anything new in it. If someone wants to transwiki it to Macedonian Wikipedia, be my guest, but otherwise, I think it should be prodded severely. --Cbdorsett (talk) 01:43, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

(ec) About theories of the evolution of humans. I wouldn't say it contains anything we don't already have on en-wiki and the quality is fairly poor for a transwiki, although could be useful if improved there. BalkanFever 01:47, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Giuseppe Coniglio

The initial language of this article was Italian. I have cleaned up most of the translation here. Short article on Italian poet who wrote in Calabrian dialect.

What is left to translate is just book titles. Moving to cleanup. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 22:29, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Michele Cossato

The initial language of this article was Italian. machine translated from it:Wikipedia Paulbrock (talk) 09:43, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

I started a more precise translation (but I encourage someone to check the correct use of the words because I'm Italian, so I don't get the precise meaning of some expressions and I just mess up with some synonyms. I haven't finished the correction of the article but I will tomorrow or in the next days, please wait. In the DISCUSSION of the article you find some notes I posted with regards to Michele Cossato's page and corrections I made. Bye! (Brizz89 (talk) 22:42, 2 November 2008 (UTC)).

I finished the translation and removed the "automatic translation" tag, but I think the article needs a cleanup as regards the content. I will check that later, but if you have some suggestions you are welcome. --Brizz89 (talk) 15:27, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Akhlaq Mohammed Khan ‘Shahryar’

This article contains untranslated Urdu (titles of books and songs). The Urdu is transliterated into Roman letters. --Cbdorsett (talk) 19:21, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

The initial language of this article was Arabic. This one needs a major cleanup. De728631 (talk) 21:32, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

There is an English-language prospectus on the website, so the article could be rewritten from that. Itsmejudith (talk) 10:48, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Yin Mingshan

The language of this article is unknown. De728631 (talk) 19:08, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Chinese. I'd say traditional because some characters display as boxes on my computer. I can't translate it, though. Admiral Norton ^(talk) 19:14, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Could be Yin Minshang, chairman of Chongqing Lifan football club. The characters appear next to a redlink on that page and 尹明善's author also posted something Chinese about the Lifan vehicle company (which I redirected).

Edit: confirmed by Google translation. De728631 (talk) 19:42, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

I used the machine translation, which was surprisingly good to work with, and a few sources to shape this into a valid article. Needs checking though. De728631 (talk) 21:09, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

The initial language of this article was French. A biography of a current French band. As a native french speaker I can tell it's French from France.

• I deleted all of the French because it comes from the French Wikipedia. The remaining English needs copyedit, so this article should now be moved to the bottom half of this page. I removed the translate tag but did not put a new one there (I don't know what the latest tags are for this). --Cbdorsett (talk) 14:18, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

I've done some copyediting. There is more detail in the French WP text that could be brought over. French WP has a list of sources of which one is what we might class as a reliable secondary source: Dictionnaire de biographie héraultaise – Pierre Clerc – Ed.Presses du Languedoc 2006. Still much more to be done to make this a useful part of a series on French medieval aristocracy. I tagged it for a history expert. Itsmejudith (talk) 10:42, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Moved to cleanup. Translated (machine?), but a few words remain untouched. This entry may be removed if the article is stubified as suggested above. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 01:18, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

I have provided a first cut at translation, and transcribed the original text to the talk page. As the article refers to some local Senegal issues and landmarks, a review from a knowledgeable editor would be appreciated. The article is also a highly POV autobiography, and should probably be deleted, but I felt translation would assist that assessment. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 15:30, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
