This page 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 the list of Wikipedias.
Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]
This template is about the article maintenance tag. For the penholder template for translated text, see Template:Translation.
Logo of Twinkle; Police ManAny breaking changes to this template, including moving it or nominating it for deletion, must be communicated in advance to Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle. The standard installation of Twinkle relies on this template. Thank you.

Use this template to tag articles in the English Wikipedia project that are written in a foreign language, where the article does not already exist on a foreign Wikipedia project. If the article already exists on a foreign Wikipedia, then use {{Db-a2}} or {{Db-foreign}} instead. See speedy deletion criterion WP:A2.

This template will categorise tagged articles into Category:Wikipedia articles needing translation. All articles tagged should also have their entry manually added to Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English.

For graphics used in articles that have non-English text, instead of using this template you can put in a request at Commons:Commons:Graphic Lab/Map workshop or Commons:Commons:Graphic Lab/Illustration workshop.

Usage

edit
{{Not English|language|article or section|listed=yes/no}}

  • article or section: (Optional) A description of which part of an article needs translating (e.g. "Hungarian names").
    • If the literal text "section" is specified, the template should be placed at the top of the section requiring translation. If omitted, "article" is assumed if page is in the article namespace, and "page" is assumed in all other namespaces.
  • listed=yes/no: (Optional) If set to listed=yes (or "Yes", "YeS", "Y", "y", "1"), will hide the message requiring you to add the page to the list of pages needing translation into English.
