A few points on translation
Hi Anne, I didn't want to burden you with too much info at first, but since you're zipping right along, a few points:


 * It appears at João de Lemos that you're doing WP:Machine translation (GoogleTranslate, Babelfish, or similar). While it's certainly permissible to use those, one must review and clean-up the rough machine translation. Those machines are nowhere smooth enough to produce a full page of proper English, so they need fixes for grammar, mistransalted words, etc.


 * Thanks for annotating in the Edit Summary that it's a translation. Now that you've got that down, a few more steps to add in:
 * At the bottom of the page, add, for example ; this will autolink to the Portuguese article, and vice-versa, so folks can use that left-margin menu to swap between languages.
 * When you're using parentheses to indicate a term/title in another language, like "the book was called That Cat (O Gato)" rather than type "Portuguese", use the following code so WP recognises it as a translation:
 * On the Talk page of an article, leave a Template:Translated page marking, and links to any applicable wikiproject. For example:

I know it's a lot at first, but you seem to be handling it well, and this will all help make your translations smooth, easy to use and track, etc.

Nice work so far, and I'm sure it's improving with every shot! MatthewVanitas (talk) 21:22, 2 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you Matthew. You are very kind. I'll study a little more about the Wikipedia and follow your advices! --USAnne (talk) 21:59, 2 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Nao e' problema, sou feliz de te-ajudar. Entendo que, no primer, e' um poco confuso, mas com um poquinho de practica, faz facil. Lembra-se: sempre ajuda observar uma aritgo bem-avanzado (como George Washington, Brazil, etc.) pra averiguar comos se-utilizam os varios codigos, formates, e outros costumbres da Wikipedia. Tambem, pode se-introduzer na Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Brazil e Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Portugal. MatthewVanitas (talk) 22:11, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
