Alternatively, you can put the template {{Translation}} in the talk page of the English article.


How to choose and translate an article:

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.

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 that everything is comprehensible and grammatically correct. You may also call upon a consultant if the article involves technical terms or requires in-depth knowledge of the subject chosen.

The translation subpage also allows you all to communicate easily: requester of the translation, translators, proofreaders and consultants. 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 Translating Tips page (multilingual online dictionaries, other translation projects on Wikipedia, etc) that enables you to find all the English interwikis of the internal links of the translated article.

You will then have userboxes like the ones to the right providing direct links to the Project:Translation pages concerning your chosen languages and adding you to their lists of translators/proofreaders.
