Translating: attribution for a page translated from another wiki. Place this in the edit summary if adding to an existing English page: "Content in this edit is translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at [[:fr:Études de médecine en France]]; see its history for attribution.

Add this to the talk page of any page you are adding translation to:

{{translated page|SourceLanguageCode|SourcePageTitle|version=123456789 (original page)|insertversion=987654321(translated page)|section=name(if applicable)|partial=yes(for partial translations}}

Add this if you are incorporating material from multiple articles you translate:

  • {{Banner holder |collapsed=yes |text=This page contains text [[WP:TFOLWP|translated]] from other articles |image=Merge-arrow-3.svg |size=36 |1=
  •  {{translated page|fr|Dassault Super-Étendard| version=45069858|insertversion=319465919|section=Accidents and incidents}}
  •  {{translated page|de|ICE 1| version=45565777|insertversion=210289191}}
  •  {{translated page|he|3=It is an example translation from Hebrew.|2=אלי_קנר}}
