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}}.

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 the intent is to ask for a translation of an article from a foreign-language Wikipedia, the correct place to do that is Wikipedia:Translation. As an alternative, you can leave a message on the contributing users 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 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 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 pages listed here have been translated, their entry can be removed (or moved to cleanup if the translation needs another pair of eyes).

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}}~~~~.

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:

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 Pages needing translation into English.

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

Arcaya

The language of this article is Spanish. nneonneo ^talk 17:16, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

I roughly translated the article. Kubek15 ^{(Sign!) (Contribs) (UBX)} 21:38, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

• Does anyone know the Wikipedia policy on genealogy pages? This article is about three generations of the Arcaya family, and it contains little other than lists of children and short descriptions of the various families. Maybe some of the individual members of this family might qualify as notable, such as Álvaro Enrique Arzú Irigoyen who was president of Guatemala from 1996 to 2000. My personal opinion is that pages of this sort are not encyclopedic and should be excluded. Cbdorsett (talk) 05:02, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

In short: Names and Genealogy are not suitable for articles. Surnames maybe. See:Wikipedia:Deletion policy/names and surnames. So I'd say that the first (3?) paragraphs, a ver few others further down (heraldry, general references to world dispersion), and maybe a 'see also' in disambig style, may be worthy. - Nabla (talk) 19:07, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

This may be (at least in part) about a Basque medieval "clan", I need to check that because in that case I think it might be notable. Either way, we can keep the page because there's a town by that name (Arcaya/Arkaia) which has no page yet. It might make more sense to turn it into a geo stub and keep some of the genealogoy stuff under a section of "historic families" or "famous ppl from..." or something like that.

Hausa is an African language, this article is about an Indian astronomer though. Sanskrit could be it, since that was "Latin" of ancient India, the language of lore. De728631 (talk) 04:54, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
