= Help me! ==

When searching for authors or events in Wikipedia (German edition), I often get infoboxes "translated from English". This obviously only happens when German articles don't exist. How do these translations come about? Are these MTs? As a professional translator I find the mistakes really annoying and would like to correct them. Is this possible? And how can I offer translation help? Thank you in advance for any help. Monscampus (talk) 15:39, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
 * You would be better asking the question on the German Wikipedia rather than here. QuiteUnusual (talk) 15:42, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi ! You can use the beta content translation tool (de) to do bad translations fairly easily (you can do good translations too, but it's just really easy to click and get a machine translation published). Maybe someone has been doing that? It's also possible that they were automatically pulled from Wikidata or something, I know there was a discussion here about doing that a while back. To be sure you'd have to ask at dewiki though. Their page on translating stuff is de:Wikipedia:%C3%9Cbersetzungen. I don't know German, but if it's anything like ours, you should be able to find links to noticeboards discussing stuff like bad translations (how to fix, where to get them deleted) relatively easily.
