Help me!
Please help me with...Translating an article, and being able to submit it. I have made a full draft about this article from English to French, but it will not let me submit it because it is too similar to the original article, is there a way to bypass this ? It is grammatically correct. Timdedeyan (talk) 15:03, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
 * As someone able to translate, you should know how important it is to use precise language. It's very unclear where you ran into a problem. A) If you have translated an article from English to French, you would be submitting it to French Wikipedia. Any barriers you run into there will have to be resolved by talking to French Wikipedia editors and admins. B) If there is already a French article about the subject, trying to replace it with a translation is likely an unwelcome act unless the existing French article is woefully deficient. If your translated draft and the existing article are so similar, you are better off making improvements to the French article via the normal editing process than by trying to replace it with a translation.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 15:16, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I mentioned that it would not let me submit the article because it was too similar to the original automatic translating feature provided by Wikipedia. The article does not have a French translation for it (hence my attempt to get one started). I only need help to get it to bypass the 20% rule in terms of modification.
