=Assessing=

Assessing content is about checking what content needs to be translated, and marking it as Do or Don't on the | progress pages.


 * Not all articles need to be translated.
 * Simple articles (4 paragraph introductions to the topic) should not be translated if the target article is featured or good article class.
 * This is because we don't want to waste translators time, and also because we do not wish to replace already high quality content.


 * If an article already exists, look at the quality and number of references supporting that article. A translation might provide more references to support the content even when a translation does not seem necessary.


 * If you believe the translation may be useful anyway, and there are integrators who will use it, we will put the article up for translation.
