[edit] 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 you want to ask for a translation of an article from a foreign-language Wikipedia, go to Wikipedia:Translation.Or instead you can leave a message on the contributing user's 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 Xerox or What Language Is This? 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).

[edit] 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}}~~~~. Bilingual versions of this template have been created for Norwegian, Spanish, and French. See the note on these at {{uw-notenglish}}.

If there is just a section that needs translation,

1. Use the notice {{Notenglish|NameOfLanguage|section}}, with the word "section" as a second unnamed parameter, or the shortcut {{Notenglish-section|NameOfLanguage}}, at the beginning of the non-English content. The template will show up as:

This section needs translation into English. This section 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 section is not rewritten in English it may be deleted. If you have just labeled this page as needing translation, please add {{subst:Needtrans | pg = Pages needing translation into English | Language = | Comments = }} ~~~~ to the bottom of this section of Pages needing translation into English.

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.

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 the WP:PNTCU section on Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English.

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

[edit] Pages for consideration

[edit] آمايش سرزمين

The language of this article is Persian. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:59, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] December 8

[edit] Antonio Mariño Souto

_{Formerly Ñico}

The language of this article is Spanish. artist, looks like a copy and paste although I can't find one Jac16888^Talk 04:32, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

This name sounds familiar as something that has occurred here before not too long ago (less than a year), a WP:PROMO I think, though I am not sure if i had the tilde on the N at that time. I could be entirely wrong, it just rings a bell. Si Trew (talk) 05:07, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Real name (article probably be moved there) is Antonio Mariño Souto, at the very least hes a comic creator--Jac16888^Talk 05:27, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Yep, prima facie looks notable to me. I've wikified the article but, although my Spanish is so-so and this is mostly a list of place names, it may be better for someone else to translate the little meat there is. If it's not done in a couple of days I'll do it.

Agree about moving it, I've already defaultsorted it on his real name and I imagine there will be a lot of confusion with [[Nico] for those of us who don't have tilde (or don't notice it). Si Trew (talk) 06:17, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Largoplazo did about half of the article for putting things into Spanish, but then stopped. Largo, do you want to carry on with it or shall I take up where you left off? I don't think it's quite done yet, but if you think so, should move perhaps to be cleanup but probably just delete off of here. Si Trew (talk) 11:55, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] December 12

[edit] Analias saxe

The language of this article is Georgian. 5 albert square (talk) 14:52, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Boore

The language of this article is possibly Somali. JohnCD (talk) 20:33, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Confirm Somali: orthography, some Somalis with articles on Wikipedia mentioned. —innotata (Talk • Contribs) 19:06, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] December 13

[edit] Mestre Azulão

_{Formerly Biografia Mestre Azulão}

The language of this article is possibly Portugese. I also tagged the author's Talk page Chuckiesdad/Talk/Contribs 04:53, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

• It is Portuguese. Unsourced bio of a Brazilian "master" of the dance/martial art Capoeira. JohnCD (talk) 10:45, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
• I took care of most of it, and my work needs review. —Largo Plazo (talk) 15:51, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] December 14

[edit] Rauenberg (Berlin)

The language of this article is German. Chuunen Baka (talk) 16:43, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Should be expanded based on de:Rauenberg (Trigonometrischer Punkt).  Andreas  ^(T) 17:26, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] December 16

[edit] Edda Award for Best Television Program

The language of this article is icelandic. just a few headings Jac16888^Talk 07:41, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] December 17

[edit] عمر الخطيب

The language of this article is unknown. Some media type person, notability is questionable Jac16888^Talk 08:20, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Pretty certainly Arabic, as Google Translate give quite a good job (for MT) under that, and the article itself then refers to his writing something about Arabic and English, and several references to Saudi Arabia. Lost the little Arabic I knew but just went on the frequency analysis of the letter A. An obituary, or at least in memoriam, of a chap called Omar Khatib. Si Trew (talk) 18:27, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Dragón Negro

The language of this article is Spanish. Whpq (talk) 13:55, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Translated pages that could still use some cleanup

Shortcut: WP:PNTCU

Pages listed here are "mostly done" but could still use some attention from someone who approaches dual-native. Please use the notice {{cleanup-translation}} on the page.

[edit] April 2009

[edit] Liceu de Artes e Ofícios de São Paulo

The initial language of this article was Portuguese. Wavehunter (talk) 17:10, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] May 2009

[edit] Tusculum

This article is in English, but several portions appear to be direct translations from it:Tusculum on the Italian Wikipedia. Some of this article is in good shape, but there are a lot of grammatical and spelling issues strewn throughout. While I can read the Italian version, I'm nowhere near fluent enough in the language to tackle a better translation of the more confusing passages myself. • WarpFlyght (talk • contribs) 13:07, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] June 2009

[edit] Pepe Rubianes

The initial language of this article was probably Spanish or Catalan. Auntof6 (talk) 02:40, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] July 2009

[edit] Juan Muñoz

The inital language of this article was Spanish. Looks like a machine translation was done. 80.38.207.72 (talk) 07:56, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Polnische Wehrmacht in second War

The initial language of this article was Polish. I've done a very little copy editing, but don't want to do any more in case I mangle the intended meaning, which I think can only be assessed by a Polish reader comparing it to the pl.wikipedia original. Gonzonoir (talk) 13:33, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] August 2009

[edit] Emilio Bianchi

The initial language of this article was Italian. Kubek15^{T CS} 17:59, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Mohammad Mahdi Faghihi

Looks like this page was translated from Farsi. At least the English version needs some thorough copyediting by someone in the know, including a conversion from the Islamic calendar. De728631 (talk) 23:02, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

probably translated from a previous version of fa:محمدمهدی فقیهی.  Andreas  ^(T) 20:57, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] September 2009

[edit] Luiz Antonio "Mano" Venker Menezes

The initial language of this article was Portuguese. This may be a machine translation. It needs particular attention from First Title and Beginning of the Fame onwards. Wavehunter (talk) 17:35, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Personal ID Number (CURP) (Mexico)

The original article is written in Spanish, Though translated to english, but still needs some cleanup . In form of grammar, Citations, resources, e.t.c. ( Abu Torsam 13:05, 9 September 2009 (UTC)).

[edit] Mercedes de Jesús Egido

The initial language of this article was Spanish. The original (as far as I can determine) is es:Mercedes de Jesús Egido It's not a Google Translation job—in fact there are some really strange words inserted, like "torah" and "kaballah". Favonian (talk) 09:25, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Spartakiad (Czechoslovakia)

The initial language of this article was Czech.  Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 17:14, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Membrane transport

The initial language of this article was es. translation needs polishing (talk) 11:58, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Kdam Eurovision

I have started the tiresome, strentuous journey in translating this entire article. All the information i have used is based on the hebrew version of the article at [[1]. I have had a bit of struggles with some of the various phrases throughout the artile but all in all i am about half-way through. I would really appreciate it if someone who understands hebrew could come and help me out. Thanks. --Coin945 (talk) 05:50, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] October 2009

[edit] Union between Brittany and France

The initial language of the article was French. Laurinavicius (talk) 16:20, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm making a start. Itsmejudith (talk) 09:57, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

• So far, this one is pretty awful. I started from the top to do some cleanup, and got about half a dozen paragraphs in before deciding it was such a mess I wasn't ready to take it on. Major work needed here; for a lot of this, I suggest going back to the article in the French wikipedia and pretty much ignoring the bad partial translation. - Jmabel | Talk 19:16, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Jerusalem during the second temple period

Almost all of this article was translated from the Hebrew counterpart. However the article is a complete mess, needing massive amounts of copy-editing and other general fixes. All the information is there, its just merely jumbled up. It needs SERIOUS help.--Coin945 (talk) 05:57, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] רעש שביעית

The language of this article is Hebrew. There is an article with the same title at he:רעש שביעית but as far as I can tell the text is not the same. JohnCD (talk) 19:26, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

• Someone has already run this through an automatic language mangler, so this item needs to be moved to the bottom half of this page. It strikes me as a possible copyvio, but I don't have time to investigate right now. --Cbdorsett (talk) 10:44, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Bavaria (Nervesa della Battaglia)

The initial language of this article was Italian. Automatic translation with Google Translate. Frassionsistematiche (talk) 19:43, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Irena Troupová

The initial language of this article was Czech. AeonicOmega(Watcha say?) 17:01, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

The initial language of this article was Japanese. Facts referenced from Japanese sources are very badly communicated in English. WnC? 23:47, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Mexico in the First World War

The language of this article is Spanish. Mexico in the first world war Jac16888^Talk 02:01, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Not really much content in the article that hasn't been discussed in greater depth in the Zimmermann Telegram article, or touched on in History of Mexico. Perhaps the translated information from the article could be more useful as a subheading on the Mexican history page rather than an article of its own? Tehae (talk) 15:48, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Translated, will move to clean-up section. —Largo Plazo (talk) 17:00, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] الشيخ سعيد أبو المكارم

The language of this article is Arabic. Bio of Sheikh Saeed Abu Al Makarem. JohnCD (talk) 10:07, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Prodded. Time's up. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 03:50, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Some IP delivered a crude translation that needs to be improved. It seems the Sheikh is a writer and poet with a number of publications and therefore he looks noteable. I'm not sure where to move the page so I'll leave it to the experts. De728631 (talk) 19:40, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

The page creator posted on the talk page, saying it was meant for the Arabic-speaking community and asking if it could be moved to the Arabic Wikipedia. That's what needs to be done now. It's completely incomprehensible as it stands as an English-language article. Not even sure if the dates are in international or Islamic format, so is this about a modern or medieval person. Itsmejudith (talk) 12:19, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Basilio Farinha

The language of this article is Portuguese. 83.223.161.69 (talk) 00:10, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

About 2/3 of it is now translated but needs cleanup; some passages are not translated at all. Reads like a CV, but of someone who probably qualifies as notable. - Jmabel | Talk 04:33, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

I've finished translating it but it needs a lot of cleanup by someone who knows about Portugal's school system, political subdivisions, and party politics. It also needs a notability assessment. —Largo Plazo (talk) 13:10, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Ko Jae-Wook

The initial language of this article was Korean. It is a direct paste of the Korean Wikipedia page that was run through Google translator by an editor. Tehae (talk) 11:36, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Looks like they've gone through and tidied the English, but it could still use a fair bit of attention. Tehae (talk) 06:46, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Tamara Rasul

The initial language of this article was Russian. An Azeri academic with lots of publications. The author delivered his article in Azeri, Russian and English at the same time, so I left the Russian version in a code comment for someone to fix the crude English. De728631 (talk) 15:53, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Sarbloh Granth

The initial language of this article was Punjabi. This is an incomprehensible (to me) mix of English and Punjabi. Marokwitz (talk) 21:08, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] December 2009

[edit] Kotelnich

The initial language of this article was Russian. The rather poor English seems to derive from text originating in Russian. Itsmejudith (talk) 12:26, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] A.V. Turicia

The language of this article is german. Some in English, some in German, suggesting a direct copy and paste from somewhere. May need conformation of legitimacy from the translator. RandomTime 16:46, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Copied from de:A.V. Turicia. —Largo Plazo (talk) 00:58, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Just moved the article down here for cleanup. I took care of some: uncompounding German-style compound nouns, decapitalizing nouns, etc. —Largo Plazo (talk) 16:13, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Alexander Filippou

The language of this article is German. Unsourced CV of an academic. Fellowship at Oxford and professorships at Berlin and Bonn should be enough for notability. JohnCD (talk) 10:35, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

user created english version too, replaced the german content with it, but the English is a bit rough--Jac16888^Talk 12:00, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
