Revision as of 15:35, 1 January 2021

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 at 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}}. Please keep in mind that drafts are considered out of scope for this page.

If an article has been listed here for two weeks and is still untranslated, it should be removed from Wikipedia following one of the processes laid out in our deletion policy.

How to help

There are two main ways you can help this project:

  • Find pages that need translation or proofreading, and add them to the list on this page. See #Standard procedures below for how to do this.

You can also view a list of all articles in need of post-translation cleanup for a given language at these links: Albanian, Arabic, Belarusian, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Dutch, Farsi, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Spanish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese.

Standard procedures

If you are here for the first time and have an article in a language other than English or a poorly translated article that you wish to list here to forestall possible deletion, you should start by finding the most appropriate template from among the ones listed at Wikipedia:Template messages/Translation and add it to the article page, save the page, and then follow the instructions in the banner on how to list the article here. You might need to click '[show]' to see all the instructions.

If you want to ask for a translation into English of an article from another language's Wikipedia, go to Wikipedia:Translation.

Listing a page here

Most pages get listed here by subst'ing a {{Needtrans}} template, following the instructions given at any one of several translation-related templates that are added to the article page. Many of the templates found at Wikipedia:Template messages/Translation propose adding the corresponding article here. See section Translation template usage below for details of the templates available for use on the main article page.

Other ways to find articles for inclusion on this page are:

Tagging

If the article is a mere copy of (all or part of) an article in another language's 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. You can leave a message on the contributing user's talk-page in their own language, using the templates from WP:PNT/Templates for user talk pages or using {{UE}}; this will point them to the appropriate Wikipedia in the language they used.

Replacement and restoration

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

In addition, you may leave a message on the user's talk-page as indicated above.

Notification

When listing a page here, you might want to find the Wikipedia:Embassy, Ambassador, or Wikipedia:Local embassy 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 identification 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.

Deletion

If an article has been listed here for two weeks and is still untranslated, it should be nominated for deletion. (See also Guide to deletion.)

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, articles in other languages are still subject to blp prod.

After translation

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

There are also procedures to follow at the Talk page of the article itself; see template {{translated page}} and Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate.

Translation template usage

Various templates are available to tag the article page needing translator attention, and one template is available for use here at WP:PNT.

The following templates are available to tag articles with translation issues in preparation for listing the article at WP:PNT:

  • {{notenglish}} – "This page is written in a language other than English..."
  • {{cleanup-translation}} – "contains translated text and needs attention..."
  • {{hidden translation}} – "an earlier translated version may have introduced errors of fact..."
  • {{rough translation}} – "may have been generated by a computer or by a translator without dual proficiency"
  • {{translate passage}} – "A passage needs to be translated from Language into English"
  • {{not English inline}} – "[needs Eng. translation]" after a phrase

The following templates are available for use at WP:PNT to list an article here that has a translation issue:

These templates, and other templates relating to translation issues outside the scope of WP:PNT can be found at Wikipedia:Template messages/Translation.

Templates for article pages

One of the following templates should be used at the top of the article page:

Not English

Template {{not English}} (alias: {{notenglish}}) is available 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.
2. Add a mention to the list of pages needing translation, using {{Needtrans}} as detailed below.
3. You may also choose to warn the contributing editor with {{uw-english}}, the "use English" warning, or suggest submitting it to 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}}.
Bilingual versions of this template have been created for Norwegian, Spanish, Polish, and French. See the note on these at {{uw-notenglish}}.

Not English 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.
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 translation

Template {{cleanup translation}} (alias: {{cleanup-translation}}) is available if the article has been translated, but needs attention from someone approaching dual fluency in both languages:

1. Use the notice {{cleanup-translation}}.
2. Add a mention to the translation cleanup section.

Hidden translation

Template {{Hidden translation}} is available if the article was translated at an earlier point and contained factual errors, while subsequent edits fixed up the English without fixing the errors of fact. The article now looks good and not "machine-translated" anymore, but the original errors of fact are still there, papered over with a facade of good English.

1. Use the notice {{Hidden translation}}, for example, {{Hidden translation|lang-name|version-nbr}}
2. Add a mention to the translation cleanup section, using the provided {{Needtrans}} invocation.

Rough translation

Template {{rough translation}} is available if the article has been translated, but it looks to be either a machine translation or by someone who doesn't have a good command of the target language, and needs attention from a translator; more than just copyediting is required.

1. Use the notice {{rough translation}}, for example, {{rough translation|German|Deutsch}}.
2. Add a mention to the translation cleanup section, using {{Needtrans}} as detailed below.

Translate passage

Template {{Translate passage}} is available for articles that are primarily in English, but have a brief section like a quotation, poem, excerpt, etc. in another language, that needs translation.

1. Use the notice {{translate passage}}, for example, {{subst:Translate passage|ArticleName|language=LanguageName}}
2. Add a mention to the translation cleanup section, using {{Needtrans}} as detailed below.

Templates for use here

Once you have tagged the article page with one of the templates above, the banner that appears will provide instructions on using a template to add an entry to the list of pages needing translation (titled "Pages for consideration") using the {{Needtrans}} template or the translation cleanup section (titled "Translated pages that could still use some cleanup") :

Translation request

Template {{Translation request}} (a.k.a., {{Needtrans}} ) is available for use in the list of pages needing translation.

Follow instructions at the expanded banner generated by {{Rough translation}} or {{Cleanup translation}} to place {{Translation request}} at the bottom of the cleanup section at WP:PNTCU. Sample invocations:

{{subst:Needtrans |pg=Wilhelm II, German Emperor |language=German}} ~~~~

For those pages written in a foreign language, please also consider also placing

{{subst:uw-notenglish |1=Template:not English}} ~~~~

on the talk page of the author.

Dual fluency request

Template {{Dual fluency request}} (a.k.a., {{Duflu}} ) is available for use in the translation cleanup section.

Follow instructions at the expanded banner generated by {{Rough translation}} or {{Cleanup translation}} to subst template {{Dual fluency request}} onto the page at the bottom of the cleanup section. Sample invocations:

{{subst:Dual fluency request|pg=Wilhelm II, German Emperor|language=German}} ~~~~

Pages for consideration


January 1

Translated pages that could still use some cleanup


Pages listed here are "mostly done" or need sources or works included in the article to be translated. They could still use some attention from someone who approaches dual-fluency. Please use the notice {{cleanup-translation}} on the page.

2014

Ukrainian Association of the Blind

The initial language of this article was Ukrainian or Russian. Not sure if it is actually a verbatim translation of the the Ukrainian article or the the Russian article but both may be useful to clarify the English one. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 13:50, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Working:My Russian is poor at best, but I'll do what I can with my general C/E knowledge, my dictionary and a lot of G-translate. Expect slow but steady editing from me. Cheers, Double Plus Ungood (talk) 20:06, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Anonymous martyr

The initial language of this article was Farsi. Really bad attempt at working from a machine translation (history seems empty, but that is because the page was edited in a user sandbox and then cut-and-pasted to mainspace). --HyperGaruda (talk) 14:52, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

List of sources of Chinese culinary history

The initial language of this article was Chinese. Some of the "description" sections of the tables are in Chinese script and need translating and transliterating so as to be useful. Rincewind42 (talk) 10:46, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jean-Patrick Capdevielle

The initial language of this article was French. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 01:23, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Champion: The English translation is not too bad, it could be improved, but four references in the article were to the same event, and the other was a blog that has not been edited since 2016. So I think fails WP:RS for biographies of living people, and should be nominated for deletion. English Wikipedia's standards of notability are higher than FR:WP. PROD it. 94.21.252.210 (talk) 22:40, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I was trying to imply but should just state explicitly, this failed the first RS on a defunct blog, the other five references are to I would imagine the same tertiary source but there is no way I can WP:V that except doing a lot of work at the library, but this is just [[WP:MUSICBIO] also. Obscure French artist that is, in my opinion, neither WP:N, certainly not WP:V in English and the sources given were not WP:RS. (Reminder to other editors: the burden of proof is not on me to remove sources from an article when I claim it is not RS or N, but for that editor adding it to show that it is. I claim it is not, and thus removed it, after checking the references and reading the French, I think that is just puffery from an agent for an old man doing a "positively final appearance", and that is not good enough for EN:WP. 94.21.252.210 (talk) 01:50, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Based on WP:MUSICBIO criterion #5, which accepts as notable any artist who has two or more albums on a major label, Capdevielle probably meets this requirement based on his CBS recordings from the late seventies and early eighties. One of his albums is also said to appear as #27 on the list of 'French rock essential albums' published by Rolling Stone in 2010 but I couldn't track down a real reference.

Church of Saint-Sulpice, Jumet

The original French article is fr:Église Saint-Sulpice de Jumet. I retranslated section #The excavation of 1967, everything else needs a look. Also, can someone check me on départ d'enduit in that section, that was a tough one. Mathglot (talk) 23:01, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know the english words but enduit seems to be a lime or plaster wall covering on the exterior side of a wall's insulation (stucco???) and a départ d'enduit is apparently a thingie to make sure the foot of the wall is straight. Something there about moisture drainage too. I will look at this further if it languishes. The French original is marked as a good article. Don't let that stop any of the rest of you though, my personal list is long and two of them need an enormous amount of work.Elinruby (talk) 07:11, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
did a quick pass for grammar and obvious problems like a french-wiki template consistent use of present tense and confusion about pronouns. Did not compare to original and this definitely needs to be done. I left 3-4 sentences alone that raised questions in my mind, but I got a lot of the low-hanging fruit (all I am up to at this moment), thus, I hope, making it somewhat more accessible to monolinguals. Based on previous translations of articles about old buildings, I am inclined to believe most of what this says, but again, it was fairly rough and I haven't checked for accuracy yet.

doesn't really correspond to French. I made one significant change based on fr.wikipedia but did not rule out that the discrepancy was based in the sources, and it was fr.wiki that was wrong. See talk. Husband's name is not in fr.wiki, also, but is in fact well-documented. I think I added a reference. Not sure what you are looking for here - verification of content? Elinruby (talk) 04:46, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Good point; when doing the translations we kind of automatically assume that the original language has some kind of direct line to Truth, but of course, that's not the case. Plus, I think it's evolved since it was created eight years ago, so diverged from the French. Good job finding refs including for the husband's name. Was looking for verification of facts of translation, but seems to be good, now. Mathglot (talk) 09:59, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@JJMC89: I can translate the Esperanto article, but not now — I've been up all night! — and there's a lot of material that's only in the Czech source, which I can't help with.

Axonometry

The initial language of this article was German. Needs the attention of an maths expert. The article is based on https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axonometrie. I don't know how close it is to the original. I already cleaned up the first two sections. I'm not sure if the issues with the article are actually grammatical ones, or just awkward wordings chosen by the author.SharkD  Talk  11:42, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think belongs here, as you say it needs a maths expert rather than language--Jac16888 Talk 16:26, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Well, actually it needs both: a math expert that can understand German. Missing either skill risks getting something horribly wrong. Possibly a tandem team of two people, a math expert with a bit of German, and a German speaker somewhat familiar with advanced mathematics could do it. Mathglot (talk) 02:56, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It's very technical and btw is more geometry and architectural drawing than pure mathematics. I can read it and it's not gibberish but I would need to research the facts to verify them. My German is definitely not up to this and the French version is even more technical fyi. It's an option for verification though. Elinruby (talk) 04:32, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There is some weird stuff, such as where it says, "The result is independent of the order of the steps." This can't be true, since step #4 definitely cannot be done before step #1. The original author is AWOL and has stopped answering questions. I don't want to slap {{clarify}} tags all over the article, as that might scare the author (and other people) away. SharkD  Talk  19:39, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Added an {{Expert needed}} template to it, and initiated a Talk page discussion. Maglot (talk) 06:59, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I am going to take another look at this just because I am sick of the stuff I have been working on and need a break. I don't think I should try to edit it right now but as a baseline let's say it's 3-d solids so the math may be DiffEq. It may be easier than that though because a lot of it is here is so-and-so's theorem, which I assume can be looked up even if it's a little more complicated than a google. It made perfect sense when I started to read up but this is not light reading for the elevator. It probably also matters that I learned my math in two different languages and neither of them was German. The article possibly has somw relationship to the French version but when I scanned *that* text the proofs all contained trigonometry, so that it's not immediately obvious that you could verify the German->English by looking at the French unless maybe someone did a separate translation and compared. I will see if I can get anywhere with this and note if I do. Elinruby (talk) 11:27, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
OK I read the thing all the way through although to check any of it I would need pencil and paper, but... the thing with order of the steps? wasn't referring to steps 1 though four; it's talkng about the three steps under number 3, and no, the order doesn't matter. It's like taking three turns to go around a block, and you can take three lefts or three rights and get the same result. Make sense? The rest of it seems ok to me. Do you have any other questions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elinruby (talkcontribs) 14:51, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mamytov Mitalip Mamytovich

The initial language of this article was Russian. Language seems ok at first glance, although somewhat stilted and potentially using some odd wording. It needs formatting cleanup and removal of VE and/or CTX errors. Anomie 13:00, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

was bored and did a drive-by edit. Cleaned up some erroneous tags. Its biggest problem is that it's a resume really, but hey why not. I'm willing to believe that he's an important enough medical specialist to at least meet the professor rule, and it looks as though he may have some government work as well. The article should be fleshed out to be less resume-like if so. It would also be good to translate the titles of the references, and if he really is all that, he will have been cited in the peer-reviewed journals. I don't have anywhere near enough Russian to even begin that part, although I did fix a couple of very obvious sentence problems. Now it really does need someone who can figure out if those really are the right names for the government agencies, etc; I am willing to bet that some of those redlinks have articles, but not in English.

BigHaz It's clear this is MT or written by someone with poor English skills, with all the false friends ("generality", lol!) but what makes you say it's from Catalan other than the subject area? There's no indication of it in the rev history, nor a Catalan wikidata link in the languages sidebar. Could easily be from Spanish. If we're not sure, best thing is to leave the language param blank. Mathglot (talk) 22:32, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I went with Catalan due to the subject matter, rather than anything else. I think I took the title of the source as being Catalan rather than Spanish, too, but looking at it this morning (my time), I don't really know. Haven't tagged pages with this template in quite some time, so it's good to know/be reminded to leave it blank for the future. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 22:39, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
BigHaz: So it turns out it was created by newbie editor Parviz1337 (talk · contribs) from Farsi Wikipedia. This all started out on this edit at Catalonian Civil War where Parviz overwrote the man's correct name in that article with an English translation of it. He then clicked the red link there to create the new article with the wrong name. His real name is Francesc de Verntallat as can be seen in both Catalan and Spanish Wikipedias. I've now renamed the article back to the correct name. Now that we have those two links, it appears to have been translated from the Spanish one, although not surprisingly the two are similar. Mathglot (talk) 23:58, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm impressed on that detective work alone! Certainly a good reminder of the global village in which we live, as well as an answer to my internal question of whether "Francis" was a likely name in that part of the world at that time in history.

A lot of those redlinks are actually interlanguage links. The ones I checked were correctly set up, and it seems unlikely, for example, that we will ever have a page about the Amiens zoo. Or the wetlands on the outskirts of Amiens. The idea is that if there ever is an english page it will convert to a normal link, and meanwhile, if someone is truly interested, they can go muddle through the page in the other language. I will take a deeper look sometime if nobody picks this up, perhaps. Elinruby (talk) 22:30, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

good God. I fixed a couple of sentences, but it's really painful and I am exhausted now.

mmmyeah. Will require extensive reference to the original and probably additional research as well. Probably a keeper though; someone is working on Lyon and I have worked on some extensive discussions of different neighborhoods, medieval walls, etc. However, the topic strikes me personally as particularly boring and recalls some drudgework I did on a similar article about the Thames only to be berated about whether something was or was not a bridge. Maybe we can recruit someone from a railway project or something? If nothing happens with this I may in idle moments chip away at a problem or two in this article, but there are a lot of them. For example, whoever or whatever did the translation left "viaduct" untranslated, and there is a first reference to SNCF in a section header. This is the French railway system, Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer, but this is likely not readily apparent to English speakers, I am not sure what the Manual of Style says about a first reference in a section header, and this is the least of the problems. There are also repeated references to batteries in connection to bridge construction, which is not within my area of expertise. I suspect that the French word is batteries and the English word is not batteries. But I don't know what it would be. And this is in the first two small sections only. Elinruby (talk) 21:09, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is Algeria, which does need to be fleshed out though, and there does seem to be a claim to notability there, ie old Roman ruins, ancient trade route, historic rebellion. Not clear this is actually a translation as the French article, at least in the first sections, is somewhat different. It should help to clarify some of the more mysterious stuff though.

I've given this article some copy-editing to deal with the roughest parts of the translation. In particular, I've tried to interpret and clarify "polyculture familiale" as best as I can but I'm not 100% sure on that aspect (it's potentially something more familiar to people in France, as it appears to be more culturally or politically discussed there—I'm from Québec so it's quite an unfamiliar notion to me).

The original Korean article is ko:옹기. The "Types of Onggi Pots" section needs attention; much of it is hard to make sense of in English. The section was added in December 2018 diff and looks like it's a (possibly machine-) translation of ko:옹기#종류. Opus 113 (talk) 02:53, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

List of television programmes broadcast by VTV3

The language of this article is uncertain. Isaidnoway (talk) 08:25, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's Vietnamese. But we don't need to translate titles. Unless the programs' creators supply English names, anything we come up with here would be WP:OR, which isn't necessarily a bad thing with translation if done sparingly, but is pointless for TV programs where titles are often not particularly meaningful. Also, literal translations for titles can be meaningless in the target language—for example, when they rely on cultural context to be understood, when they involve puns, when they involve well-known phrases or sayings that exist only in the source language, and so forth.

Essenbæk Abbey

Readable, just barely, but I am sure it could be vastly improved by someone who can consult the Danish or Swedish article. The abbey was in Denmark but a lot of the redlinks were able to become ILLs to the Swedish. I am unsure which language is needed here, but of course they are closely related. Someone who speaks either one could probably help this. I unlinked a lot of names that had been translated, for readability, on the assumption that we probably don't have articles on medieval Danish parishes. But the text is fairly stilted overall, and the discussion of moving bodies in particular is mysterious. Elinruby (talk) 14:12, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Giuseppe Buonfiglio

Italian aristocrat and soldier. English is more or less readable, but enough less that I don't feel comfortable editing on my guess. For example, he is said to have been born "by" someone who may be his father. Or maybe it's "according to", and the name of the historian who said this. Already previously tagged as having a much longer article in Italian. Elinruby (talk) 03:05, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The initial language of this article was French. There are several jokes in French that are not understandable. Please include which French words are intended by the pun and their meaning. Error (talk) 13:21, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think that, except maybe for a couple that can be adequately annotated to make sense to non-French-speaking readers, the examples in French should be dispensed with as being unhelpful to the readership. Besides that, even an article on an English form of word play should carry every example of it that anyone can think of. Largoplazo (talk) 14:16, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Moved from its original title ("Mr. & Mrs. jokes") because that title is a different topic in English, and does not have to do with punning. Mathglot (talk) 20:16, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
