Translation Status: Stage 3 : Proofreaders Needed (How-to)
Comment: As per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hermes cover, unable to question its notability until its gets translated
Requested by: Tuxide 19:25, 27 January 2007 (UTC)- Interest of the translation: It was brought up on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hermes cover that it is possibly notable because "they were a major factor in post-war German foreign trade policy and used to be managed directly by the German government"

This section is for all those who have requested this translation, are translating or proofreading this article, or just want to give some advice about the translation in progress. Do not forget to watch this page.
In particular, you can use {{Doubt | original sentence }} or {{Doubt | original sentence | possible translation}} to highlight the problems you encounter during the translation process.
In view of the deletion nomination, I am signing off this translation as complete. With the sources given, it should be adequate for assessing notability etc. The rest can count as copy-editing. I have made some modifications, particularly where the German article had taken stuff directly from sources. The redlinks obviously need sorting out, and the sources/references need tidying up.
It's late, and I haven't worked out how this translation process is supposed to work; so I've probably not updated everything properly. The process must be simpler than it appears to me at present.
Anyway, I've updated the English article; so people at the deletion nomination can see it. --Boson 00:30, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Updating the information on the translation
The translation process normally involves the following stages: "Request," "In Progress," "Proofreaders Needed," and "Completed Translation."
It is, of course, possible to backtrack to the previous stage (if you have decided to not continue translating, for example). It is also possible to skip a stage, especially if you want to start translating an article you chose immediately; in this case, you would skip the request stage by not putting it on the page for the current month's requested translations.
To pass from one stage to another, you must:
- modify the parameters of the progress made on this page, and
- put the
{{Wikipedia:Translation/Hermes cover}}banner, which will take care of all the rest, in the right place.
Note : if, in a particular situation, you think that the template takes too much place, you can use the following syntax instead :
{{Wikipedia:Translation/Hermes cover| Parameter = hide }}
The table below shows all the steps needed for each stage:
| Stage | Parameters to modify | {{Wikipedia:Translation/Hermes cover}} |
|---|---|---|
| Stage 1: Translation Request |
It starts at the creation of the page and involves the following parameters:
|
|
| Stage 2: Translation in Progress |
|
|
| Stage 3: Proofreaders Needed |
Each time someone volunteers to proofread, he/she must modify the following parameters:
|
|
| Stage 4: Completed Translation |
Please add the following to the bottom of the article to follow GFDL norms:
Example : The last template is to be used to mention the source of a translation from another Wikipedia (again, to respect GFDL norms): |

- ^ Explanation : If the translation takes a while, the original article risks having changed quite a bit throughout, making the translation and eventual proofreading problematic.
You can avoid this problem thanks to the Permanent link function, which appears in the toolbox at the lower left of every page.
