This page is a place to list foreign language articles on the English Wikipedia, to see if they can be translated before they are listed on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. If someone speaks the language the article is written in and can state that it is not worth translating, the item should be moved to AfD or tagged with {{prod}}.
| TRANSLATION DEPARTMENT |

| RELATED PROJECTS |
If the article is a mere copy of (all or part of) an article in a foreign-language Wikipedia, it can just be tagged with {{db-foreign}} to get added to Wikipedia:Candidates for speedy deletion: we want to discourage people who cut articles from one Wikipedia and paste to another without translating. If the intent is to ask for a translation of an article from a foreign-language Wikipedia, the correct place to do that is Wikipedia:Translation. As an alternative, you can leave a message on the contributing users talk-page using the templates from Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English/Templates for user talk pages or using {{UE}}.
Sometimes, legitimate articles are replaced by foreign-language content. In this case, the last English-language version should be restored from the history.
If an article has been listed here for two weeks and is still untranslated, it should be moved to AfD. When moving items to AfD, the boilerplate text on the article should be changed from {{notenglish}} to {{subst:afd}} and the other deletion steps should be carried out.
When listing a page here, you might want to find the Wikipedia:Embassy or Ambassador member of the Wikipedia that relates to the language the article is in and invite them to move the page to their own Wikipedia. If you don't even know what language the article is in you could use Language recognition chart and if that fails, some language recognition web site, such as xrce, or languid.cantbedone.org to find out. Please leave a note on this page if you do this to prevent duplication of messages. If you have come here from another Wikipedia, please note on this page what you think should be done with the article.
Please check for copyvio before listing here. (Articles which meet the criteria for CSD G12 can be speedily deleted with {{db-copyvio}}, others copyvios should be listed on WP:CP.) If you can tell what language an article is written in, that might help. Also consider posting the first line or so.
When a page listed here has been translated, its entry can be removed (or moved to cleanup if the translation needs another pair of eyes).
For a page that needs translation in its entirety (so it would be appropriate to delete if not fixed):
| This article needs translation into English. This article is written in a language other than English. If it is intended for readers from the community of that language, it should be contributed to the Wikipedia in that language. See list of Wikipedias. Please see this article's entry on Pages needing translation into English for discussion. If the article is not rewritten in English within the next two weeks it will be listed for deletion and/or moved to the Wikipedia in its current language. If you have just labeled this page as needing translation, please add {{subst:Needtrans | pg = Pages needing translation into English | Language = unknown | Comments = }} ~~~~to the bottom of this section of Pages needing translation into English. |
If there is just a section that needs translation, that notice is inappropriate, so it's a little trickier:
If the article has been translated, but needs attention from someone approaching dual fluency in both languages:
| This article contains translated text and needs attention from someone approaching dual fluency. Please see this article's entry on Pages needing translation into English for discussion. If you have just labeled this page as needing such attention, please add {{subst:Duflu | pg= Pages needing translation into English | Language = | Comments = }} ~~~~to the bottom of Pages needing translation into English. |

The initial language of this article was Italian. I have cleaned up most of the translation here. Short article on Italian poet who wrote in Calabrian dialect.

I started a more precise translation (but I encourage someone to check the correct use of the words because I'm Italian, so I don't get the precise meaning of some expressions and I just mess up with some synonyms. I haven't finished the correction of the article but I will tomorrow or in the next days, please wait. In the DISCUSSION of the article you find some notes I posted with regards to Michele Cossato's page and corrections I made. Bye! (Brizz89 (talk) 22:42, 2 November 2008 (UTC)).
I finished the translation and removed the "automatic translation" tag, but I think the article needs a cleanup as regards the content. I will check that later, but if you have some suggestions you are welcome. --Brizz89 (talk) 15:27, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

The initial language of this article was French. A biography of a current French band. As a native french speaker I can tell it's French from France.
