Translations from German

General help for translation from German can be found on project Intertranswiki/German, namely for biographies.

Recordings of classical music
4 May 2015 by Gerda:

Please compare Marga Schiml and her discography, compiled by Tim. I see too little detail in the first and too much in the second. It made me dream of having an entry for each recording of classical music (comparable to the entries for DYK nominations) which could collect detailed infomation, and of having a template which selects the information presented on a given performer's page, from only showing "performer took part in that recording" to more detail, specifying for example that major other performers should show but not minor ones, or that the names of performers (orchestra etc) should be in English or in the native language. Thoughts?

Interlanguage link
28 April 2015 by Gerda Arendt, in response to a question: There are many advantages of ill over a simple red link for articles which have an entry in another language:
 * It offers the same red link, so there is no disadvantage.
 * It shows in small letters that there is a link to a different language, in this case "(de)" for German.
 * People not able to read German get at least the information that the person is notable in the German Wikipedia.
 * Anybody able to read German can get information by clicking on the little red link.
 * Truly helpful people go to the German Wikipedia and start an article in English, which replaces the red link by a normal blue one.
 * For the helpful person, it's easier to have the link to the other language ready, - compared to a search if there is one.
