Can you help verify translations of articles from Chinese
Hello Koopatrev,

Would you be able to help evaluate the accuracy of translations of Wikipedia articles from Chinese to English Wikipedia?



This would involve evaluating a translated article on the English Wikipedia by comparing it to the original Chinese article, and marking it "Pass" or "Fail" based on whether the translation faithfully represents the original. Here's the reason for this request:

There are a number of articles on English Wikipedia that were created as machine translations from different languages including Chinese, using the Content Translation tool, sometimes by users with no knowledge of the source language. The config problem that allowed this to happen has since been fixed, but this has left us with a backlog of articles whose accuracy of translation is suspect or unknown, including some articles translated from Chinese. In many cases, other editors have come forward later to copyedit and fix any English grammar or style issues, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the translation is accurate, as factual errors from the original translation may remain. To put it another way: Good English is not the same as good translation.

If you can help out, that would be great.

All you have to do, is compare the English article to the Chinese article, and mark it "Pass" or "Fail" (templates Pass and Fail may be useful). (Naturally, if you feel like fixing an inaccurate translation and then marking it "Pass", that's even better, but it isn't required.)

If you can help, please let me know. Thanks! Mathglot (talk) 22:23, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

Your Teahouse question
You didn't get a response to this question. Did you find the help you needed with introductory articles? I was unaware there was such a thing and don't know what the policy is.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  21:19, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
