Wikipedia:Translators available
Another extensive list of translators can be found at Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Translators.
Wikipedia is a multilingual project; as such, we may have articles on one subject available in many languages. The various languages each appear in semi-separate wikis, linked by interlanguage links.
This page lists Wikipedians who have volunteered to aid the translation of articles on other language Wikipedias into English. For a full list of translators in both directions, and on all Wikipedias, see m:Translators.
See subcategories of Category:Wikipedia translation for lists of articles that need translating.
Instructions
Please enter your user name under each language you are able to translate, followed by a description of your proficiency level in the language in question and in English. The following are useful as descriptions; feel free to add other information you think would be informative; remember that what is relevant is your reading level in the foreign language and your writing level in English:
- Native
- Near-native
- Fluent
- Near-fluent
- Moderate
- Minimal
By placing yourself on this list you should expect to be contacted occasionally be people requesting help in translation. There is no obligation to perform any particular translation request, but if you would rather not be contacted at all then do not add your name. You can of course still take on any of the translations requested above without listing yourself here.
