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 from German}} on the talk page of the equivalent English article, if one exists. This produces the following message:

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.

Architecture

General request

  • There appears to be a number of red links in Expressionist architecture that correspond to articles on the German wiki. Myself and my collaborator would be extremely grateful for anyone who might be able to lift our schoolboy German attempts at translation to an acceptable standard of accuracy. Many thanks. --Mcginnly 23:47, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I came unstuck in the second half of the article which seems to talk about the actual technique, as I couldn't translate the terms used for the equipment and my dictionary was no help.

I'm currently translating de:Hans Scharoun to Hans Scharoun and I'm a little stuck. I've translated

  • Nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurde er von den Alliierten zum Stadtbaurat und Leiter der Abteilung Bau- und Wohnungswesen des Magistrats ernannt. In einer Ausstellung in der zerstörten Ruine des Berliner Stadtschlosses mit dem Titel „Berlin plant — Erster Bericht”, stellt er seine Vorstellungen des Wiederaufbaus von Berlin vor. Alsbald gerät er zwischen die politischen Stühle der sich abzeichnenden Teilung der Stadt.

to read

  • In an exhibition in the destroyed ruins of the Berliner Stadtschloss entitled, Berlin plant — Erster Bericht (Berlin Plans - First Report), he presented his conceptions for the reconstruction of Berlin. Immediately, he mediated the political empasse in drawing up the division of the city.

But I'm very unsure of the last sentence - can anyone help? --Mcginnly 18:52, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Normally, both are translated as architecture. Perhaps it could be argued that baukunst emphasises the art (Kunst) part of architecture. However, I'd both translate them as architecture. ;-) Cheers, Something Wicked 12:55, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Status: stub, in progress freerick 2006-04-30 04:31:00
  • Supported: I could help as the original author. The biggest problem I'd face if I had to write it in English is the beginning with its grammatical note on the slang-word - that should be different in English. Another weakness is the most recent section at the end. Here I am thinking of expanding the German edition a bit. There are some national views in this article (Germans have a GDR-Cult) - the English version will be challenging as cult has a slightly different taste wherever you live; it will address people from nations all over the world. So it will not just be a translation, I guess. --Olaf Simons 14:23, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sort-of-Supported: I think it might be appropriate to translate all this material, but contextualize it. If it becomes, in part, an article on certain aspects of German culture, I think that is all to the good: instead of telling English-speakers what they probably already know, it would tell them something new. It may belong at a different title, leaving Cult classic the near-disambiguation that it already is. I do have one question, though: to what extent is any of this verifiable? It is definitely a fun article, but we've had a lot of arguments in the English-language Wikipedia about this sort of article: who gets to determine what is a "cult"? For example, I see the Beatles listed. While there are Beatle fanatics who carry their love of the Beatles to cult levels, at least in the English-speaking world we would never call the Beatles a "cult band", because in English it suggests a lack of mainstream popularity; in particular, it suggests that the bulk of interest comes from ardent fans, and that most other people wouldn't really care. - Jmabel | Talk 23:32, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the list is, of course, strictly unverifiable. It is what readers believe to be cult and there is a continous coming and going of titles and links with disagreement on "real" cult-objects. Yet on the other hand: the phenomenon is one of change and fashion, so I am amused about the exchange on the discussion page where people defend their classics. No I guess one should not offer an English article on German cult-classics, one should rather have with wikipedia the choice to switch and see what views and fashions different nations produce (and where there is an international market of cult classics).
The good part of the German article is, I hope, the history leading from the 19th century through pop-art and the 68-generation (Wodstock, Vietnam or what you have instead) into the modern industry of cult-classics like Startreck Enterprise, Matrix, the Simpsons etc. (I had to remove the images of these, which I had taken from the English Wikipedia, so they should get into the English article as well...)

Support; I disagree with Kusma. The German Article dicusses the topic comprehensively and from a global perspective.

  • Other notes::This is supposed to be a translation of the German "Oekosteuer" article. Someone named the English article "Green tax shift". Obviously that's not the correct translation. Obviously! "Öko" is short for "Ökologie", meaning for ecology. The correct translation is "Environmental Tax"; that page already exists, copy Green tax shift to expand it.
  • Other notes: Obviously, green tax shift is about the whole Green taxt policy, not restricted to the implementation of an enviromental tax. For instance, taxing kerosine could be considered part of a green tax shift. The link to de:Ökosteuer (Deutschland), however, is clearly not correct. I'd transfer the Ökosteuer content to Environmental Tax. Perhaps the article could be more cleary named Environmental tax (Germany). I'm not aware of other countries implementing such a tax. Any information on that? Something Wicked 15:18, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Other notes: In Germany, there is a pretty heated debate over the de:Ökosteuer. However, Germany being the only country that really implemented it, many parts of the article are about a decidedly German situation which involves the mineral oil tax, excise in Germany and the German welfare state. I think, it may be somewhat difficult to understand the whole of the article without knowing the other details. In fact, this may be a large project.

de:Universelles Leben

  • Article: de:Universelles Leben
  • Corresponding English-language article: None.
  • Worth doing because: There is no corresponding English article, yet there is an article in German and Hungarian (Magyar). Although I have been able to find using search engines lots of English-language literature produced by Universelles Leben itself, I have only been able to find a couple short English-language articles that criticize Universelles Leben. Using search engines I have come across many anti-U.L. sites written in German, but I haven't encountered the English versions of those sites. Universelles Leben produces a lot of materials in various languages, including English, so I think there should be contra and neutral info in English to balance out the pro info produced by U.L. itself. U.L., from the impression I've received surfing German-language anti-U.L. sites, is very well-known as a "cult" in Germany. I also think that this article is worth translating because many mainstream Christian, atheist, and anti-cult groups would probably be glad to have some info that warns against this group. U.L. is also notable because it is one of the few, if any, Christian sects that have animal rights as a central value. Most animal rights activists I know consider themselves atheist, and even some eastern religions that do have animal rights as a central tenet don't seem to go about it in an activist way like U.L. does. Of course this is just my personal opinion/impression; I'm not an expert on any religion.

  • Corresponding English-language article: Transrapid
  • Worth doing because: German language article is far more comprehensive and detailed than the English language version.
  • Originally Requested by: Hyperspeed 12th May 2006CR at 17:00 BST.
  • Status: In progress Hyperspeed (From 12th May 2006CR at 17:00 BST.)
  • Other notes: See also original suggestion on the Transrapid discussion page, recommending creation of a temporary page to allow a publicly accessible/editable in progress translation. This page has now been created and may be found at Transrapid/German.
  • Footnotes: Initially claimed in part by Hyperspeed, but will probabally need help translating the more complex sections due to only a moderate command of the German language. Hyperspeed is a Wikipedia newbie, and is unfamiliar with the usual article translation process. Please leave advice and comments in my Talk page. :-)

Recently completed translations – proofreading

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.

Don't forget that translating for Wikipedia is a little different from a professional translation. At Wikipedia, editors can change sentences or facts and leave out or add anything if they feel it improves the article. If something in the English translation is missing or different from the German article, this may not be a mistake, but a deliberate choice.

For earlier translations, see Wikipedia:Translation archive.
