Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 03:51, 13 December 2012

• WP:PNT
• WP:QTN

See also: Misplaced Pages:Translation, Category:Misplaced Pages articles needing translation and Category:AfC submissions declined as not in English.

This Misplaced Pages is written in English. See Main Page#Misplaced Pages languages. Towards this, this page is a place to list foreign language articles on the English Misplaced Pages, to see if they can be translated before they are listed on Misplaced Pages: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}}.

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 Misplaced Pages: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 '' to see all the instructions.

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

• Find articles in a specific language category under Category:Expand by language Misplaced Pages templates. For example, Template:Expand Spanish puts articles into Category:Articles needing translation from Spanish Misplaced Pages.
• Monitor Recent changes tagged with ContentTranslation keyword

Tagging

If the article is a mere copy of (all or part of) an article in another language's Misplaced Pages, it can just be tagged with {{db-foreign}} to get added to Misplaced Pages:Candidates for speedy deletion: we want to discourage people who cut articles from one Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages:Embassy, Ambassador, or Misplaced Pages:Local embassy member of the Misplaced Pages that relates to the language the article is in and invite them to move the page to their own Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages, 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 Misplaced Pages:Translation#How to translate.

Boilerplate text

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}} – "" after a phrase

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

• {{Translation request}} (formerly called {{Needtrans}} )
• {{Dual fluency request}} (a.k.a. {{Duflu}} )

These templates, and other templates relating to translation issues outside the scope of WP:PNT can be found at Misplaced Pages: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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages is meant for English-language content, inviting them to translate it, and, if appropriate, suggesting the location of the Misplaced Pages 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

• WP:PNTFC

I soliti idioti#Sanremo 2012 and the controversy over homosexuals

The language of this article is Italian. k kisses 08:57, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

The entire article is a machine translation from Italian... very bad. I can translate it, but I've never heard of the show and am not sure if it's worth the time and effort! ... ? Piccolapixxie (talk) 20:29, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

In the untranslated section, I added some introductory material that was missing from the Italian Misplaced Pages article, and translated it and some of the rest to the extent that I could. —Largo Plazo (talk) 17:55, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Border Guard Service of Russia

The language of this article is Russian. One section at the bottom needs translation, mainly a list of border guard units. De728631 (talk) 21:35, 3 October 2012 (UTC) The article in English hardly resembles the one in Russian--even the insignia and the organization's name are different! Perhaps this page should be replaced with a fresh translation of the Russian page. I could do that, but it looks like the Russian one is still awaiting feedback before being considered a "stable" version. : guanolto, 14Nov12

Translated pages that could still use some cleanup

• WP:PNTCU

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

2011

State Committee for Construction

The initial language of this article was Russian. Needs some copyediting. --Σ _contribs 05:46, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Needs a lot more than copy editing. In future please do not add machine translations of foriegn language articles to this[REDACTED] if you are incapable of translating it properly, they are generally of too poor a quality to be of much use and very difficult to fix. Next time please follow the instructions laid out at WP:TRANSLATION--Jac16888 11:00, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Bible translations into Norwegian

The initial language of this article was norwegian. The translation is awkward, and there has been little proofreading or knowledge in neither the subject, norwegian nor english. E.g. a link to Stjórn has been replaced with one to Stjørna, and quotations contain a mix of norwegian and english. Orland (talk) 05:27, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

The initial language of this article was probably Khmer. "Features" section especially in need of translation. Miniapolis (talk) 21:14, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

The initial language of this article was probably Korean. heather walls (talk) 08:31, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Cahul District

The initial language of this article was Moldovan/Romanian. This page was translated from the Moldovan Misplaced Pages page by an automatic translator. Various copy editors (who didn't speak Moldovan) have worked on it, but there would be a lot of false information due to the original translation being so bad. Someone needs to proofread and correct it. Editfromwithout (talk) 06:09, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Manuel Valls

The initial language of this article was French. Important article on the new Minister of the Interior of France, contains poor machine translated text. I don't have time to do it this week. Itsmejudith (talk) 17:54, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello. I have started doing it. I am French so my translation will certainly have some non smart syntax but I do all my best to translate the shades of political position explained in the french article as Mr Valls has a special position in the french political scene (he is member of the major French left party but people from the Right agree his positions and every party on the left of the Party Socialist consider he should be in a Right party)

At this time I have translated the section "Political orientations". Is it better I translate and publish each section or is it better to translate all the section and then publishing all? Pierre.alix (talk) 15:16, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

That's great Pierre, thank you for helping out. It's up to you really, you can do it all in one go, section by section or just a few sentences at a time, it doesn't really matter--Jac16888 15:20, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

I'm a native English proofreader - I am making my way through the article. A lot of the French-specific references will need more explanation for English-speaking audiences, so I shall list those on the article's talk page (is that the correct approach? I'm new to Wiki editing). Piccolapixxie (talk) 20:27, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Municipal Guards

The initial language of this article was Portuguese. It looks like the article was done by an automatic translator, translated from the Portuguese version of the article. There are some passages, specially under the "organization" section, that don't make any sense at all. Editfromwithout (talk) 21:34, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
