Wikipedia:Translation |
On this page you can request and coordinate translations from foreign-language Wikipedias into English.
For translations in the opposite direction (from English to another language), use the language links at the top or side of this page.
Wikipedia:Translation
Note: some missing existing translation requests can be found on the previous version of this project, Wikipedia:Translation into English
See also Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English for pages on the English Wikipedia that will shortly be deleted unless translated.
If you have any questions, please leave a message on the talk page.

Alternatively, you can put the template {{Translation}} in the talk page of the English article.
Wikipedia is a multilingual project; as such, we may have articles on one subject available in many languages, with the various wikis linked by interlanguage links.
Articles on the same subject in different languages can be edited independently; they do not have to be translations of one another or correspond closely in form, style or content.
Still, it is hoped that polyglots who work in multiple languages will help spread new information around between the articles in different languages. This page exists to support that work.
Please note that this page is not for requesting translations of copyrighted sources outside Wikipedia. But, if you can also show that the license conditions of the source page permit its redistribution under the GFDL (for example if the page is public domain or itself GFDL-ed) or if permission has been obtained from the author, you can make a translation request. If you do, state the copyright terms clearly, including a link to the "terms and conditions" page of the source website, if it has one.
Translating entire articles into another language can be helpful when getting started, but there are some caveats:
If you are looking for an article to translate, you will find many recent requests here and, if you are ambitious, you may choose from the page listing "featured articles" in other languages.
You can also look on these translation pages from specific languages: Arabic - Bosnian - Chinese - Croatian - Czech - Dutch - Danish - Filipino - Finnish - French - German - Hungarian - Indonesian - Italian - Japanese - Maltese - Norwegian - Pashto - Persian - Polish - Portuguese - Romanian - Russian - Serbian - Slovene - Spanish - Swedish - Tok Pisin - Turkish - chinese
All supported languages.
Please consult the translation subpage of the article chosen, as it will provide information on the steps to follow.
Once you have finished translating, you may ask a proofreader to check the translation. You may also call upon a consultant if the article involves technical terms or requires in-depth knowledge.
The translation subpage also allows everyone involved (translators, proofreaders, etc.) to discuss the translation. For example, if the article is very long, you may post a message on the subpage informing other translators of which part or parts you will be working on so as to avoid mix-ups and overlapping translations.
There are tools available on the Translation tips page (multilingual online dictionaries, other translation projects on Wikipedia, etc) that enable you to find all the English interwikis of the internal links of the translated article.
If you would like to help translate articles, add the code below (changing it to fit your language, see below) to your user page:
|
about me
|
{{Userboxtop}}
{{Translator|es|Spanish}}
{{Userboxbottom}}
If you would like to proofread articles, add this (again, adapted to your language):
|
about me
|
{{Userboxtop}}
{{Proofreader|fr|French}}
{{Userboxbottom}}
You will then have userboxes like the ones to the right, providing direct links to the Project:Translation pages for your chosen languages and adding you to their lists of translators/proofreaders.
To choose which language you translate from you will need to know its language code (as defined in the ISO 639-1 international standard). For example, "de" is the code for German (Deutsch).
Other examples : 日本語 (ja) • Русский (ru) • Deutsch (de) • English (en) • Español (es) • Français (fr) • Italiano (it) • Nederlands (nl) • Polski (pl) • Português (pt) • Svenska (sv) • العربية (ar) •
