This is a page for German-English translation requests: some have been moved from Wikipedia:Translation into English, where other languages are still listed.

Instructions

To request an article please add a level-3 heading and indicate:

  • Article: link to foreign-language article in the form [[:xx:Title]]. Remember the initial colon before the language code. Without it the link will point to the equivalent of this translation page in the specified language.
  • Corresponding English-language article: <article name> (or None); should be filled in if article already exists or if someone does a partial translation.
  • Worth doing because: Typically one or more of
    • No corresponding English article
    • Material to incorporate into English-language article
    • Seems to contradict English-language article
    • Specialized local knowledge
  • Originally Requested by: <user> <date> (use ~~~~)
  • Status: (originally) "Unclaimed".
    To take responsibility for the work, indicate "In progress <user> <date>".
    If you're finished with what you can handle, but there is more to do: "Partially translated by <user> <date>".
    One step past that might be "Translated, but review requested by <user> <date>".
    If it's finished, mark it "Complete <user> <date>" and move it (as described below).
  • Other notes: Anything else you want to add.
  • Supported: Other users can sign here to support the request.

Follow the last line with an HTML <br /> to keep the software happy: it does not preserve the presence of a blank line in a bullet list.

When writing a request on this page, you can also add {{translation request}} on the talk page of the equivalent English article, if one exists. This produces the following message:

[[{{{pg}}}]]

The original article is in English.

Please do indicate in the references section of the newly created article that an article in a foreign-language Wikipedia was among your sources. For example, the references section of the article "Paragraph 175" begins, Much of the content of this article comes from the equivalent German-language wikipedia article (retrieved September 30, 2004). The following references are cited by that German-language article..." Note that something like this (without that last sentence) would be in order even if the German-language article did not cite any references of its own.

Also, please don't forget to add interwiki links all around.

When you complete work on an article, it would be polite to inform the original requester on his/her talk page, move this request to the talk page of the relevant article, and add an entry to Completed Translations.

After about 30 days, even that can be moved to Wikipedia:Translation archive

Requested translations

Please add your request at the bottom of each section.

To support a request for translation, sign your name next to "Supported" to show you'd like to see the article translated, too. That way, translators can see how popular an article is before they choose which one to start.

Landforms

There are several articles on moors and other landforms in which I'm not sure that the English/German interwiki lines up quite right. If this is resolved we may find an article lacking in the English version.

Recently Completed Translations

Remember that a "completed" translation can always be improved by people who do not speak the language it was translated from — if you enjoy copyediting, browse these articles and tidy up any unnatural-sounding language which might have slipped in.
