User:RyanGerbil10/GermanOverhaul

This is a page for German-English translation requests: some have been moved from Translation into English, where other languages are still listed. Click here to check for available translators
 * German featured articles - many are long, while the English versions are either short or nonexistent
 * WikiProject Vienna: The project mainly aims at translating the numerous excellent German articles on Vienna into English.
 * WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/de contains German articles that have links to 3 other language wikipedias but not the English one, thus probably need translating into English.
 * Translation requests for biographies are listed on a separate page.

For guidelines on how to translate some German terms please see the German translation guide. For discussions about how to translate articles use the article talk page, this page's talk page or the German-speaking Wikipedians' notice board.

Instructions
To request an article please add a heading such as this one: ;[[:de:Article name . (Simply a semicolon preceding the article name). This ensures that the article title is bolded, but does not add a separate subsection to the table of contents. Remeber the first colon before the de in the article name, it's important. Then, add the following bullet points:

To take responsibility for the work, indicate "In progress &lt;user&gt; &lt;date&gt;". If you're finished with what you can handle, but there is more to do: "Partially translated by &lt;user&gt; &lt;date&gt;". One step past that might be "Translated, but review requested by &lt;user&gt; &lt;date&gt;". If it's finished, mark it "Complete &lt;user&gt; &lt;date&gt;" and move it (as described below).
 * Corresponding English-language article: (Required) Enter the name of the corresponding English article, leaving it as a red link if necessary. If you are unsure how the German article name would translate to English, simply write None.
 * Status: (Required) (originally) "Unclaimed".
 * Originally Requested by: (Required) &lt;user&gt; &lt;date&gt; (use ~ )
 * Other notes: (Optional) Anything else you want to add. If you wish to co-requets an article to be translated, please sign here

When writing a request on this page, you can also add on the talk page of the equivalent English article, if one exists. This produces the following message:

Please do indicate in the references section of the newly created article that an article in a foreign-language Wikipedia was among your sources. For example, the references section of the article "Paragraph 175" begins, Much of the content of this article comes from the equivalent German-language Wikipedia article (retrieved September 30, 2004). The following references are cited by that German-language article..." Note that something like this (without that last sentence) would be in order even if the German-language article did not cite any references of its own.

Also, please don't forget to add interwiki links all around.

When you complete work on an article, it would be polite to inform the original requester on his/her talk page, move this request to the talk page of the relevant article, and add an entry to Completed Translations.

After about 30 days, even that can be moved to Translation archive

Please add your request at the bottom of each section.

To support a request for translation, sign your name next to "Supported" to show you'd like to see the article translated, too. That way, translators can see how popular an article is before they choose which one to start.

General request

 * There appears to be a number of red links in Expressionist architecture that correspond to articles on the German wiki. Myself and my collaborator would be extremely grateful for anyone who might be able to lift our schoolboy German attempts at translation to an acceptable standard of accuracy. Many thanks. --Mcginnly 23:47, 14 May 2006 (UTC)


 * de:Gedächtniskirche der Protestation (Speyer)
 * Corresponding English-language article: Gedächtniskirche, Speyer
 * Status:This seems to have been machine-translated, which produced a text difficult to read and quite impossible to clean up. I suggest redoing the translation from the start, but this is beyond my knowledge of German.

Culture

 * de:Kult (Status)
 * Corresponding English-language article: Cult classic
 * Status: stub, in progress freerick 2006-04-30 04:31:00
 * I could help as the original author. The biggest problem I'd face if I had to write it in English is the beginning with its grammatical note on the slang-word - that should be different in English. Another weakness is the most recent section at the end. Here I am thinking of expanding the German edition a bit. There are some national views in this article (Germans have a GDR-Cult) - the English version will be challenging as cult has a slightly different taste wherever you live; it will address people from nations all over the world. So it will not just be a translation, I guess. --Olaf Simons 14:23, 1 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Originally requested by: User:Jahsonic
 * Other notes: I'd volunteer to try and translate the complete German article into English, but I'd like someone else to check the result for missing internal links to corresponding subjects in en.wikipedia so I could concentrate on the translation. Anyone interested in helping out? Lucien the Librarian 21:22, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Olaf, I am feeling a little insecure now if the task isn't probably a little too big for me, after reading your last remark. Maybe I should start the new version on my user discussion page and we could improve it together? Lucien the Librarian 08:15, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I think it might be appropriate to translate all this material, but contextualize it. If it becomes, in part, an article on certain aspects of German culture, I think that is all to the good: instead of telling English-speakers what they probably already know, it would tell them something new. It may belong at a different title, leaving Cult classic the near-disambiguation that it already is. I do have one question, though: to what extent is any of this verifiable? It is definitely a fun article, but we've had a lot of arguments in the English-language Wikipedia about this sort of article: who gets to determine what is a "cult"? For example, I see the Beatles listed. While there are Beatle fanatics who carry their love of the Beatles to cult levels, at least in the English-speaking world we would never call the Beatles a "cult band", because in English it suggests a lack of mainstream popularity; in particular, it suggests that the bulk of interest comes from ardent fans, and that most other people wouldn't really care. - Jmabel | Talk 23:32, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, the list is, of course, strictly unverifiable. It is what readers believe to be cult and there is a continous coming and going of titles and links with disagreement on "real" cult-objects. Yet on the other hand: the phenomenon is one of change and fashion, so I am amused about the exchange on the discussion page where people defend their classics. No I guess one should not offer an English article on German cult-classics, one should rather have with wikipedia the choice to switch and see what views and fashions different nations produce (and where there is an international market of cult classics).
 * The good part of the German article is, I hope, the history leading from the 19th century through pop-art and the 68-generation (Wodstock, Vietnam or what you have instead) into the modern industry of cult-classics like Startreck Enterprise, Matrix, the Simpsons etc. (I had to remove the images of these, which I had taken from the English Wikipedia, so they should get into the English article as well...)

The original (current) english article capital punishment should be renamed Capital Punishment (Prevalence) and / or Capital Punishment (Controversy).

 * Originally Requested by: Pharos 15:38, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Other notes::This is supposed to be a translation of the German "Oekosteuer" article. Someone named the English article "Green tax shift". Obviously that's not the correct translation. Obviously! "Öko" is short for "Ökologie", meaning for ecology. The correct translation is "Environmental Tax"; that page already exists, copy Green tax shift to expand it.
 * Obviously, green tax shift is about the whole Green taxt policy, not restricted to the implementation of an enviromental tax. For instance, taxing kerosine could be considered part of a green tax shift. The link to de:Ökosteuer (Deutschland), however, is clearly not correct. I'd transfer the Ökosteuer content to Environmental Tax. Perhaps the article could be more cleary named Environmental tax (Germany). I'm not aware of other countries implementing such a tax. Any information on that? Something Wicked 15:18, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * googling around for common English equivalents, it seems Ecology tax is the common name in English, so I've moved Environmental Tax there. (The previous name was incorrectly capitalized, too.) Angr (t • c) 15:42, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * In Germany, there is a pretty heated debate over the de:Ökosteuer. However, Germany being the only country that really implemented it, many parts of the article are about a decidedly German situation which involves the mineral oil tax, excise in Germany and the German welfare state. I think, it may be somewhat difficult to understand the whole of the article without knowing the other details. In fact, this may be a large project. Worth doing, as it is an interesting matter in my opinion, by surely a lot of work. If anybody likes to help, contact me. It is appreciated. Something Wicked 20:23, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Other notes: A rough translation of the first paragraph has been sitting around at the miscapitalized Mosque in sendling since August. I just moved it to the correct title and made a category for it, but nothing links to it yet, so what it really needs is to be referred to in other articles. (Even in de: the only article that links to it is de:Sendling.) Angr/talk 17:28, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

 * de:Universelles Leben
 * Corresponding English-language article: None.
 * Status: unclaimed
 * Other notes: This is my first time editing an article; I just got a username today. I don't know HTML and I'm on the computer-illiterate side in general so I hope my addition to this German-English translation request page is acceptable! I only speak English and am looking forward to reading info on U.L. that wasn't produced by the group itself so that I can get a more unbiased look to fulfill my curiosity.
 * Although I have been able to find using search engines lots of English-language literature produced by Universelles Leben itself, I have only been able to find a couple short English-language articles that criticize Universelles Leben. Using search engines I have come across many anti-U.L. sites written in German, but I haven't encountered the English versions of those sites. Universelles Leben produces a lot of materials in various languages, including English, so I think there should be contra and neutral info in English to balance out the pro info produced by U.L. itself. U.L., from the impression I've received surfing German-language anti-U.L. sites, is very well-known as a "cult" in Germany. I also think that this article is worth translating because many mainstream Christian, atheist, and anti-cult groups would probably be glad to have some info that warns against this group. U.L. is also notable because it is one of the few, if any, Christian sects that have animal rights as a central value. Most animal rights activists I know consider themselves atheist, and even some eastern religions that do have animal rights as a central tenet don't seem to go about it in an activist way like U.L. does. Of course this is just my personal opinion/impression; I'm not an expert on any religion.

Right now I need to stop and wind up some power cords, though...this is fun. I'll be back later to work more on the translation. Bob 19:40, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I decided the English history is better than the German history...the part about the present production should be translated, and the rest of the article that follows that section...I, however, do not understand the text, so it will do little good for me to translate it...time for someone else to take over this project, I'm resigning from this article.

 * Footnotes: Initially claimed in part by Hyperspeed, but will probabally need help translating the more complex sections due to only a moderate command of the German language. Hyperspeed is a Wikipedia newbie, and is unfamiliar with the usual article translation process. Please leave advice and comments in my Talk page. :-)

Recently completed translations – proofreading
Remember that a "completed" translation can always be improved by people who do not speak the language it was translated from — if you enjoy copyediting, browse these articles and tidy up any unnatural-sounding language which might have slipped in.

Don't forget that translating for Wikipedia is a little different from a professional translation. At Wikipedia, editors can change sentences or facts and leave out or add anything if they feel it improves the article. If something in the English translation is missing or different from the German article, this may not be a mistake, but a deliberate choice.

For earlier translations, see Translation archive.
