Presentation

What I have translated, and why I chose to translate it

• I've translated from English into German and Italian parts of the article on an English rockband called Nothing But Thieves
• The parts I chose to translate were the introduction, and a new section that had been added to the English page when they released a new album at the end of October called Moral Panic
  • I've played this album so much during my time here, and I feel it's a bit of a symbol for having this semester.
• In terms of why this article would be worth translating for the German and Italian audience, my main reason was that the band has been famous in England, and their music been used in various Netflix shows and some EA sports games, which reach a global audience, so it may be interesting for them to read about this band. Whilst researching about the band's tour dates, I found that that the band is planning on performing 10 times in the UK this year, and 9 times in Germany, so they obviously have some sort of German following.

How have I gone about translating it

• So like I said, I translated the English introduction and section on their new album as this information was in neither the German nor Italian article. I also then included their planned tour dates for this year. I changed the locations of their tour that I included depending on the language. So for Germany I included all German shows, and also shows in Switzerland, Austria, and one in Luxembourg, and I did the same for the Italian for their shows in Italy.

What have I learnt from this translation

Translation troubles

• With this article, the translation itself wasn't too tricky, a lot of dates saying when specific singles were released at so on (important when changing languages to make note that German uses imperfect, Italian the past perfect).
• I had some problems with where to include the album/single titles in German, since in English you can use apposition (comma breaks in sentences), but you can't really do that here in German. So I looked up this band I knew, Kraftklub, and I looked at their page, which just included the titles in italics and carried on with the sentences. The Italian was much simpler in terms of word order, it's much more flexible than German.
• I had a bit of trouble was translating one little section, where it says "performing quarantined-styled live versions", I went with "spielten sowohl Quarantäne-mäßige Liveversionen", but wasn't entirely sure of this. Got -mäßig when I looked it up in the dictionary, though there was also "auf -art". For the Italian I didn't know how to do this so I just simplified it to "versioni live in quarantena" (live versions in quarantine)

Wikipedia tech issues

• German: Needs to get approved by a more senior user, though still published. I had problems with the references, that's why it says there's been 4 changes that need to be approved. Found it much easier to make the references with the visual editor, but then ran into problems, as I had references mixing themselves up. Solve the problems with the source editor ie deleted code and started again.
• Italian: Does a captcha test to make sure you're human before publication.
• With our little translation box that we've been putting in the discussion page, it's built for the english wikipedia. So I initially tried copying and pasting that into the german discussion page but obviously it didn't work. So I just wrote a little message and put my signature with the ~~~~ , it put my name and exact date/time
• Wikipedia:Babel

Reaction from wikipedia

• Even though I uploaded this translations on Sunday, unfortunately I havn't heard anything from anyone on either page. I guess this is because the German and Italian wikipedias aren't as large as the English one and doesn't have as many users constantly searching for updates to check on.

• Though I did find this legendary user, Dennis_Radaelli, who translated/edited Moral Panic album page into Italian, so there's actually now more on the album on wiki in Italian than in English. Has made edits on all of the band's Italian pages (main page and albums).
