Hi, I would like to request a translation of one or more articles that say the following:


 * Es Salaam al Mamlaky (from the Spanish Wikipedia)
 * Es Salaam el gamhoury el masry (from the Spanish Wikipedia)
 * Où peut on être mieux qu’au sein de sa famille (from the Spanish Wikipedia)

Lovende artikler
hey, why you can see the Danish wiki when an article is good in English wiki, but in English wiki can not see if the Danish article is lovende articæe. Is there a reason why they? sorry my bad English. --80.161.143.239 (talk) 15:53, 14 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh you can, but it has to be added (by an editor or by an bot) and this takes sometimes its time and / or get sometimes missed. Which article is/was it? I would do it if it isn't fixed until now... mabdul 14:24, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Where is the link to upload an article to the German Wikipedia?

I have it already written. But I don't speak German. SO I need a direct link.

Thank you

 * I'm German, but really, I don't understand what you wanted to do. If you want to write/"publish" an article in German, but don't speak it, how do you want to do it? mabdul 14:22, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

User outreach (邱茂林)
I've just given a language warning to. If anyone could proofread my bad Google Translate Chinese, I'd appreciate it. And while you're at it, some friendly words to the user would help, as they seem to be unclear on what Wikipedia is actually about. Ibadibam (talk) 18:22, 16 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I finally came across Template:welcomeen-zh and its related templates, in case anybody else comes here looking for help with a similar problem. Ibadibam (talk) 17:38, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Are you involved in another language Wikipedia?
There's an effort to collect information about smaller Wikipedias at m:Tell us about your Wikipedia. If you are involved in some other Wikipedias, please look through the list there and see if you can provide more information about other Wikipedias. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:16, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

Help requested
I'm seeking help with translation in order to communicate with an admin at zh.wiki. If someone knows an admin there that can email me in English, that would be great. Lacking that, if someone would accept the tedious task of third party translating, it would be appreciated. Please leave a notice on my user talk for any email(s) sent. Thanks in advance,  Tide  rolls  16:53, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

Request/Question about Hungarian to English Translation
Hello! I've found a Hungarian language article that would serve as a good basis for an English language version of the same article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Cards_of_Power

I added a category indicating that the English draft I linked above could be improved with the aid of translation from the Hungarian language version of the article. I am fluent in only English, with no experience in Hungarian, though through some sources was able to glean enough core information to make the article. Do I just wait and hope someone capable of translating finds it and decides to help out? Or would it be possible to contact someone who speaks English and Hungarian through the Embassy? Thank you all for your time! Coherbia (talk) 02:06, 14 April 2018 (UTC)Coherbia

(Officially) untitled cinematic universe from DC Comics
A page move discussion was held about whether to rename article to Worlds of DC or not. The result? Not to rename it. The reason was that the source of the alleged 'new name' was merely a banner message, and it was too early to move.

I'd like to notify all the non-English editions of Wikipedia that But how do I automate all the processes to send the message to all the affected editions at once? JSH-alive/talk/cont/mail 16:40, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * do NOT move the relevant article to "Worlds of DC" (or the translation of it), and
 * if the article was moved already, all the changes must be reverted.
 * (coming from HD) Short answer: you do not. We are not in the business of telling other Wikipedias what to do, since all Wikipedias are independent projects, and consensus to do X in a certain Wikipedia is not a compelling reason to do the same in other Wikipedias. WP:EMBASSY, as far as I understand it, is about helping with language issues, not about coordinating articles among Wikipedias. Tigraan Click here to contact me 16:32, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree. Don't spam a lot of Wikipedias with an "order" they have no obligation to follow. And most of them probably aren't even considering "Worlds of DC". If you feel strongly about it then see which languages have already changed it at and make a polite suggestion to the language or the editor who made the move. I currently see one "Worlds of DC" in Finnish but there are many languages I cannot read. PrimeHunter (talk) 16:54, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Alright. I'll have to manually alert those already made change to WoDC. JSH-alive/talk/cont/mail 07:14, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

Help needed for a Russian-speaking newbie

 * Copied to Wikipedia talk:Local Embassy

User User:Manujoon seems to want to publish a page about a (very) young football player – see Teahouse as well as User:Manujoon/sandbox.

I'm not sure, however, if he wants to publish the page in Russian (in which case we need to redirect him to ru-wiki) or in English (then we need to guide him through translation process and then through publishing here).

I can understand Russian a bit, but not enough to actively discuss (and I have no Russian language support in my computer, so I can't write this language).

(Time-senstive) Confirmation of translated quote from French for The Signpost
Hi all! For upcoming Signpost coverage, we are looking to include a short translated quote from a Le Monde article about Wikipedia published in French. Here is the article:

Here is the quote, along with the Google Translate version. Can someone here confirm whether the translation is accurate?

« Je trouve brutal de suspendre les comptes sans chercher à comprendre notre démarche »

« Notre situation est particulière : nous menons des formations pour encourager les entreprises à contribuer à Wikipédia », se défend M. Jeanne-Beylot, qui assure qu’« aucune de ces modifications n’a donc été rémunérée ».

« Il est difficile de faire entendre aux administrateurs de Wikipédia que les entreprises ont aussi leur place », plaide-t-il, évoquant sa « crainte » de voir la qualité des articles se dégrader à cause d’un nombre « trop restreint » de contributeurs.

"I find it brutal to suspend accounts without trying to understand our approach,"

"Our situation is special: we conduct training to encourage companies to contribute to Wikipedia", defends Mr. Jeanne-Beylot, who ensures that "none of these modifications was therefore paid".

"It is difficult to convince Wikipedia administrators that companies also have their place," he pleads, citing his "fear" of seeing the quality of articles deteriorate because of an "too limited" number of contributors.

Due to a looming publication deadline, this is a time-sensitive request. A reply within the next several hours would be much appreciated if there are any French speakers here. Much obliged, &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 00:21, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Help with the Russian Ambassidors
I'm trying to get ahold of the Russian Wikipedia ambassadors but it looks like a bunch of the Russian-English ambassadors linked on the Russian Wikipedia ambassadors section are no longer apart of Wikipedia. Who should I contact about this on the English Wikipedia? Is there a certain help desk I should write to? Thanks! Tyrone Madera (talk) 23:09, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
