Link articles to their foreign-language counterparts

Do you know any languages other than English? If so, you also can contribute to the Wikipedia in those languages, or translate articles from that Wikipedia into the English Wikipedia. Don't forget to include an interlanguage link when you translate a new article. To help coordinate with other language Wikipedias, you can join the Wikipedia Embassy. Also, check out how other languages are doing with our multilingual statistics.
