A2. Foreign language articles that exist on another Wikimedia project.
When I see new pages written in a language other than English, my first action is usually to tag the page with a tag, appending the specific language if I recognise it, e.g..

At this point, copying the initial paragraph of the article into Google should reveal whether it has been copied and pasted from one of the non-English Wikipedias, in which case I tag the article, or if it is a copyright violation of another article, in which case it gets tagged

I then copy the article contents to Google Translate and, unless I've already identified it, use the Detect language option to find out in which language the article has been written. Frequently, Google Translate will provide a translation that is sufficient to identify the article as eligable for Speedy Deletion under another criterion, often. At this point, I will usually amend the tag with the language, for example.

The next appropriate step to take is to list the article at Pages needing translation into English and to place an appropriate template on the initial article contributor's talk page and invite them to provide a translation.
