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}}.

Translation Department
Related Projects

If the article is a mere copy of (all or part of) an article in a foreign-language Wikipedia, it can just 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, the correct place to do that is Wikipedia:Translation into English.

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 A8 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.

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}} and click on [Show] to reveal customized boilerplate text. The template will show up as:
2. Add a mention on this page, using:
{{subst:Needtrans| pg= | Language=unknown| Comments= }}--~~~~
3. You may also choose to warn the contributing editor with {{UE}}, the "use English" warning.

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

Contestado War

Very long article, partially translated from Portuguese. Sitenl 13:15, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Translation work seems to have recommenced. Keeping this entry here for a little longer. Kusma (討論) 00:06, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Haci Arif Bey

Parts of this article is in Turkish. Valentinian (talk) 01:10, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Turkish part of the article is in fact full of replaced loan words in Turkish. Zfr 22:08, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think it was just a list of his works. I have commented it out for the moment; it needs to be checked and wikified by a Turkish speaker. Kusma (討論) 16:57, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Sadeq Mallallah

The language of this article is Arabic. Appears to ba Arabic, posted on talk page and may contain useful information.--Dan, the CowMan 19:08, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keris Mas

The language of this article is unknown. Unsure of language or content--Refusetobesilenced 15:22, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • This article is in Malaysian, about Kamaluddin Muhamad (also known as Keris Mas), a Malaysian literary figure. The article has had a copyvio placed on it, as being a copy of http://www.pnm.my/yangpertama/Tokoh_Sasterawan1.htm, and there is a short stub on him in the Malaysian Wikipedia, which I can probably translate fairly well, although I'm an Indonesian specialist, not a Malaysian specialist. Can I just do the translation and delete the copyvio in the article, or is there another reason why the copyvio should be kept?--Sepa 11:10, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    I think you've done fine! Your translation is supposed to take place of the original article once the copyvio-ed version gets removed. - Introvert ~? 06:47, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Philippe-Alexandre Le Brun de Charmettes

The language of this article is French. --—ERcheck @ 05:11, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article has now been machine translated. The subject appears (without checking in detail) to be notable. Martinp 00:12, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Er... the article still contains two large abstracts in French, which fortunately have not been machine "translated". Kusma (討論) 00:19, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Translation seems to be in progress. Kusma (討論) 15:28, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, I have started translating that page. My translation is far from perfect, and I would appreciate it if a native speaker of English with some knowledge of French could proofread it.Pruneau 22:14, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

President of the Italian Republic

The language of this article is Italian. Much of the content of the Italian wikipedia article are commented out at the bottom of the page — OwenBlacker 10:51, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • The text is now all English and the {{notenglish}} tag has been removed by the translator -- who, however, noted on the talk page that there's still untranslated text remaining (commented out) in the body of the article. Perhaps this entry could stay here for a little longer so someone might take another look at it - Introvert ~? 07:01, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Luzaga´s bronze

The language of this article is Spanish or portuguese. --Skysmith 12:21, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Spanish. There is already an article at Luzaga's Bronze -- this has useful info that could be merged there if this isn't a copyvio. Grandmasterka 22:43, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's worth mentioning that both pages were created by the same user, who must have very limited English. It doesn't appear to be a copyvio. Grandmasterka 22:48, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Federico Fabregat

The language of this article is Spanish. --Nsevs • Talk 17:12, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ahmad Zia Massoud

The language of this article is unknown. --Pepsidrinka 03:58, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I finished a draft translation (it was French). If anyone who is knowledgeable about Afghani politics and places could give it another pass, that would be great. Thanks! Antandrus (talk) 04:24, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cihanjuang

The language of this article is unknown. -- (aeropagitica)  (talk)  06:59, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indonesian. Seems to be a geographical article. It's a place in North Cimahi which is on the island of Java. --Kunzite 17:31, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I's not exactly informative: "Cihanjuang is an area to the north of cimahi of good potential, with fertile earth, as evidenced by the varied agricultural products which are sent to various other areas." Unfortunately I can't find an equivelent article in the id wikipedia, so I'm inclined to delete it unless someone else wants to expand it in the next couple of weeks.--Sepa 19:15, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The language of this article is Portuguese. With English stub.--Kusma (討論) 15:31, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Utkan büyükceran

The language of this article is Turkish. --–Mysid(t) 20:20, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is a vanity page of a nn (0 ghits) student, saying s.t. like: "Utkan Büyükceran (born 1991) became the favourite of the whole country team with his talent in basketball, and at this moment continues his education at the Kabataş Boys' Lycee." --LambiamTalk 05:51, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

पण्डित दीनदयाल उपाध्याय सनातन धर्म विद्यालय

The language of this article is unknown. My browser won't even render the text of this page, so I've no idea what language it is. Appears to be a university listing--Gwernol 13:12, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like it is Hindi --ĶĩřβȳŤįɱéØ 22:09, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Not necessarily. There are a handful of languages it could be. But I would assume it's Hindi too. Grandmasterka 03:35, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Someone has translated all but the heading of the last section and the article is now at an English title. It's a school in India and yes, the original title was in Hindi. Kimchi.sg 07:07, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chimbarongo

The language of this article is Spanish or Portuguese. Some village.--Sandstein 13:28, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Was Spanish. A village 60km south of Santiago (I assume it's the Santiago in Chile, but I'm not sure.) The rest looked like someone's vanity. Grandmasterka 03:32, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

May 15

Proteism

Russian? Hyacinth 01:30, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is Russian - about a philosophical term. This text is a compilation of a number of direct quotations from this "manifesto" article by Mikhail Epstein. Should this pass the copyvio, it might be worth translating but I hesitate to take it lest I be lost for words (I mean, Russian :) - not just English) - Introvert ~? 06:46, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kln1

The language of this article is Chinese and Vietnamese. No idea what this is--Jamoche 07:50, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I can read the Chinese part. It appears to be a copy-and-paste of an exposition on a Buddhist text. The Vietnamese part appears to a straight translation of the Chinese text since each Chinese paragraph is followed by a Vietnamese paragraph. Suggest prodding, but I'll ask a Vietnamese Buddhist editor if he knows whether the Vietnamese text is significant enough. Kimchi.sg 13:27, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'll look into the Vietnamese part. I'm not very good, but I have a Vietnamese-English Buddhist terms glossary translator at home. I can tell you straight away it is about the Surangama Sutra. Regards, ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 02:27, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The text translated is extraordinarily close to text on a link page on the Surangama Sutra page.. [1]. It seems that this may be a delete or transwiki. --02:54, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
Is that translating skill or incompetence or coincidence that they look the same?ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 03:04, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It could be a coincidence? :) BTW your translation of the Vietnamese matches the Chinese text closely. Agree that this may be a deletion candidate. Kimchi.sg 03:25, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Huamachuco

The language of this article is unknown. --Gwernol 03:34, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Appears that it is actively being translated from Spanish by the person who copied and pasted it. Grandmasterka 04:46, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Balık

The language of this article is possibly turkish. --Skysmith 11:42, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is indeed. The title means "Fish". The article is written in first person. I too have tender memories of eating yummy fish, prepared just right, with a dash of lemon, but it's not quite what an encyclopedia article makes. --LambiamTalk 05:57, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Caqueza

The language of this article is unknown. trans need note added by User:Dakart and not listed, page seems to be a posibe copyvio (see soon to be added notice on page)--blue520 05:28, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's in Spanish. A town in a South American country, near Bogotá. The last paragraph is an obvious copy-and-paste, likely the quick statistics of the town. This might be encyclopedic, but not in its current copyvio version. Kimchi.sg 07:00, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This has almost the same title as Politinis piliečių pasyvumas just 2 entries above... one of them needs to be deleted as a duplicate. Kimchi.sg 19:58, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oops. I missed that when listing it, and additionally managed to put the article above in the wrong place. One of those days... I'm speedy tagging Politinis piliečių pasyvumas as a duplicate. Tonywalton  | Talk 09:46, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

About a monastery in Dalmatia, Croatia... English Website of the Monastery --Kunzite 12:45, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The language is one of those that used to be subsumed under the name Serbo-Croat. As it is in Cyrillic script, I would have expected it to be Serbian rather than Croatian, because the latter is much more often written in Roman script. But if the monastery is in Dalmatia, maybe it is Croatian.
Either way, I have translated the first few sentences. Even if I manage to complete it, it's only going to be a stub, and need further work by somebody who knows something about the subject! ColinFine 22:26, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Auguste Toubeau

Found this loose in Category:Wikipedia articles needing translation. Long article in French, about a 19th century politician. Jamie 10:02, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Not a very notable politician either. I find no online references to him. The whole thing smells of a copyvio too. --Diderot 21:28, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
It could be worth translating. I couldn't find any copyvios (but I didn't look too hard). As a deceased person, he may be notable enough. — TheKMantalk 07:14, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
OK. The article three parts: "LIFE OF AUGUSTE TOUBEAU", "BURIAL OF AUGUSTE TOUBEAU" and "PRESS REVIEW". The "PRESS REVIEW" is a direct copy from a 1912 primary source. (But maybe that's not a copyvio because of the age...) The other two sections borrow hevily from this "PRESS REVIEW". I could translate the first two sections, and delete the "PRESS REVIEW" section... but it's a long article so it will be a fair bit of work. Do we think this is worth it? Or should we transwiki to French Wikipedia? (How is that done? I have no experience in transwiki...) Jamie 06:02, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Translated the rest of the article and integrated the information from the press release throughout. Auguste was actually a local activist for better conditions in the coal mines -- he became so popular from his actions that he was elected to political office later. .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 16:07, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

German. About a deceased architect. Most of it seems to be copied directly from http://www.lintl.com, but the original author claims to have permission to use the content (as a family member).

It's original source was someone's medical school disertation, which found its way onto the official site of the Mexican town whose history it describes. I'd be happy to translate it (which would also entail modifying it for inclusion in an encyclopedia), but I wonder about copyvio. Benami 18:16, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The paragraph may have to be excised if it cannot be translated.--み使い Mitsukai 18:53, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's Albanian alright. Valentinian (talk) 21:39, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Miša Molk

Partially translated from the Slovene Wikipedia, but the author seems to have given up on 22nd February.. The portion below the {{notenglish}} tag looks like a chronology of this person's career. The article subject looks notable enough, but the untranslated section needs some attention. Tonywalton  | Talk 14:10, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved the untranslated parts to Talk:Miša Molk. Kusma (討論) 10:45, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also needs to be cleaned up according to the Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies). Has an article on the Korean Wikipedia (ko:김형곤), but it is a stub. Schzmo 14:35, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have removed the Korean text and turned the article into a very short stub. The original Korean can be found on the talk page. Kusma (討論) 23:30, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is an English disambig (juat one with an eye-watering amount of Polish names). A F&R with the help of Offices in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth can probably improve it.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 03:19, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is in English but most likely a babelfish translation from French. I have tried to clean it up, but I do not know enough French to understand some of the translations. --Drdan 12:52, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oy. That's a horrible machine translation, and it's so full of puffery it feels like copyvio (which is an interesting question - is a horrible machine translation of copyvio still copyvio if the translation is so horrible that it's unrecognizable?) I started the cleanup. DS 15:12, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Originally in German, I've translated it (original is on its talk page) but I'd like someone familiar with the terminology of the SS and military terminology to give it a lookover. Note I'm not referring to the {{references}}</tag>; if this isn't verifiable it needs to go to AfD.

This article has been translated by User:Benchik. At the same time, a merge with the existing stub Ščučyn has been requested. I started working on merging (pasted the entire translation, commented); the original text has copyrighted source so this article needs verification and a re-write. Will do if no body gets there before me (which cannot be a hard thing to do :) - Introvert ~? 07:15, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Still needs to be merged. Kusma (討論) 15:26, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry was my mistake; I started working on merging but haven't finished. I copied all of the text from Щучин into Ščučyn already, kept the portion that still requires a re-write hidden (commented out), and I didn't replace Щучин with the redirect timely. Now in Ščučyn: I opened up all text, placed the markers around the paragraph which needs attention, added the cleanup tag; Щучин is now a redirect to Ščučyn from "alternate language". I also replaced Щучин with Ščučyn in the section title on this page so that linking from {{cleanup-translation}} would work. - Introvert ~? 22:35, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
