Background
This template is used to mark articles that are better in a foreign-language Wikipedia than in English Wikipedia, and thus should be translated from that language into English.
Usage
To mark an article, tag it with {{Import|language}}.
For example, {{Import|French}} generates:
| 50x40px | This article may be expanded with text translated from the corresponding article in the French Wikipedia. Click [show] on the right to review important translation instructions before translating.
|
A bot will be along shortly to add the correct interwiki link to the template, which will also add a Google translation link if Google is able to translate the relevant language. If you'd like to speed the process up, you can tag the article with {{Translate|language|article=articletitle}} instead. After the article parameter is added, the template will look like:
| 50x40px | This article may be expanded with text translated from the corresponding article in the French Wikipedia. Don't speak French? Click here to read a machine-translated version of the French article. Click [show] on the right to review important translation instructions before translating.
|
This template places articles in the relevant subcategory of Category:Articles needing translation from foreign-language Wikipedias.
Optional parameters
- FA marking
Foreign language featured articles can be marked using fa=yes, as in {{Import|French|fa=yes}}.
- Topic sorting
For languages with over 200 translation requests (currently Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish), the topic= parameter may be used to sort into a variety of standard categories:
