Mind your elders translate-a-thon


This is a page for a a proposed translate-a-thon[a] entitled Mind your elders. The Gender gap's logo, Mind the gap1, has helped to inspire this title.

This list of proposed articles was extracted from the List of living centenarians. The subjects are women who are older than 100 who lack articles on English Wikipedia and have articles on other language Wikipedias (German, Italian, Polish, Spanish, French, Estonian, Swedish, Dutch, Serbian, Bulgarian, Serbo-Croation, and Catalan). If you can translate from one of these languages, or have used Special:ContentTranslation and machine translation like Google translate to initially translate then massage[b] the generated text into a meaningful article, please consider helping. You will find a sign up section after each candidate article.

Following discussions with Women in Red, it has been decided to include these centenarians in the last couple of weeks of the Women in Europe contest as all but one are from Europe. There is no obligation for contributors to join the contest but they are welcome to do so.

We will also be setting up Outreach Dashboard sessions starting in July for this, date & time TBA. This will be so that we can meet online to coordinate at different stages.

Steps in translation

[edit]
Content translation tool tutorial

You are not logged in, so you are not extended confirmedYour account is extended confirmedis not extended confirmed.

NOTE: The content translation tool is limited to extended confirmed users.
A registered editor becomes extendedconfirmed automatically when the account is both at least 30 days old and has made at least 500 edits (including deleted edits).
  1. Open Special:ContentTranslation. Note that you may need to choose the Try it Now! link.
    • Click on
       + New translation 
    • Paste the article name from the article to be translated.
    • On the right of that field, click on whatever
       language 
      is displayed, then input the language from which you will translate.
    • Click on
       Start translation 
  2. Give it a draft name but do not publish it yet.
    • It will automatically save your work until you are ready to publish, for up to a year.
    • If you are the only one working on it, or are comfortable with others editing your user subpages in your Special:Mypage/sandbox, consider naming it User:<Your user name>/sandbox/<article name>. Please see Wikipedia:About the sandbox for sandbox help.
    • If multiple editors will be working on this, consider targeting the Draft namespace, such as naming it Draft:<article name>.
    • Click on the icon and choose the destination description.
    • Do not publish a draft into the (Main/Article) namespace! Not ready for primetime articles usually become speedy deletions. It is much harder to create an article after it has been deleted. To have a translation meet this fate is a waste of effort and time for all concerned.
  3. Begin translating
    • Note that translating most templates between languages will not work. You may try, but you may need to delete or greatly modify most faulty template translations, then add the correct template or corrections after publishing the draft. Sometimes a corresponding template does not exist in English Wikipedia.
    • Hover in the English column to the right of the heading, paragraph, or image you wish to translate, then click on
           + Add translation     
    • An untranslated copy will appear in the right column. Translate it if you are able, or use a machine translator such as https://translate.google.com to copy translated text and paste over the untranslated text.
      • Correct obvious errors. For instance, many machine translators misgender third person or possessive pronouns.
      • Sometimes translating and reading the citations can help decipher an otherwise non-intelligible machine translation.
      • When in doubt, consider leaving it out if it is not core to the article and you cannot make sense of it.
      • Consider asking for help at the Wikipedia:Local Embassy
    • Wikilink when and where you are able.
    • Keep the original page open in another tab, so that you may click on Wikilinks or categories that do not make sense in translation. Sometimes there is a corresponding English article or an English name in the corresponding Wikidata item. Note links to articles that have no corresponding English articles; one can later use the {{Interlanguage link}} or {{ill}} template for these.
  4. When you have reasonably completed translating all headings, paragraphs, images, and categories, and have entered your user sandbox or draft name, then click on
     Publish 
    A message will appear towards the top:
    YesY Page published at <the draft or user sandbox and article name>               
    Click on the link to open the draft article.
  5. Remove links that do not adhere to English Wikipedia guidelines.
  6. Work the templates that did not translate
    • Infobox templates
      • Consider placing or substituting {{Infobox person/Wikidata||qid=<Wikidata QID>|fetchwikidata=ALL}}. This may satisfy most of your {{Infobox person}} needs. You may then add any other parameters as necessary.
      • Go to the the article in the original language, choose "Edit source", and copy the Infobox template code then paste it into a text editor. Back out or close your editing session in the original language article.
      • Paste the Infobox code into a machine translator https://translate.google.com. Copy the output and paste it into a text editor.
      • Go to the Infobox template page in the original language, and see if there is a corresponding English template.[i]
      • If editing the source Wikitext:
      • As appropriate, copy either the blank template with basic parameters or the blank template with all parameters into a text editor.
      • Based upon the machine translation of the Infobox template code from the original language, populate the English template code as best as possible, then save.
      • If using Visual Editor:
        • On your draft page, click on the Infobox template. A dialog box will appear.
                                                                                                   
     edit 

    Generated from: <template name>
    Click on
     edit 
    • Populate the name if not already populated.
    • Click on Add more information. Some fields will be suggested; if you wish to get a different field, you may search for it or you can display all the fields. Based upon the machine translation of the Infobox template code from the original language, populate the available fields as best as possible, then publish.
  • Alternately, if there is no Infobox template, you can create one by positioning your cursor where it will go vertically, then use the Insert ⌵ pull-down menu, then choose the Template and type in the template name. See Wikipedia:VisualEditor/User guide#Editing templates for more.
  • Other templates may be translated similarly to Infobox templates
  1. Finishing touches
    • On the draft article's talk page:
      • ***Most important!*** Place the {{Translated page}} template. The syntax for this is:
        {{translated page|SourceLanguageCode|SourcePageTitle|small=no}}.
      • For biographies, add {{WikiProject Biography|living=yes|class=Draft|listas=}} if in your User talk namespace or {{WikiProject Biography|living=yes|class=|listas=}} if in the Draft talk namespace. Adding |class=Draft will force it to be listed in Category:Draft-Class biography articles if in the User talk namespace. Inclusion in Category:Draft-Class biography articles is automatic if it is in the Draft talk namespace. The |listas= should be poplulated with the LastName, FirstName, same as the DEFAULTSORT listed below for the draft article page.
      • Following the example above, add additional WikiProject banners as well. For more about WikiProject banners, see Wikipedia:Template index/WikiProject banners and Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide § Tagging pages with WikiProject banners.
      • If you have more than a couple of WikiProject banners, enclose them within the {{WikiProjectBannerShell}}. The syntax for this is to put {{WikiProjectBannerShell|1= on a blank line before the first WikiProject banner, and }} on a blank line after the last WikiProject banner.
    • On the draft article page:
      • Add the {{Authority control}} template. The syntax for this is: {{Authority control|qid=<Wikidata QID>}}. The QID parameter/value can be removed once the draft is moved to the article namespace.
      • For biographies, add the {{DEFAULTSORT}} magic word. The syntax for this is: {{DEFAULTSORT:LastName, FirstName}}
      • The draft may have inserted nowiki tags, <nowiki> and </nowiki> that enclose categories and prevent categorization of draft pages. If not, add them. Add any additional categories in between these nowiki tags until you publish the article, at which point you should remove them.
  2. If the article is in good shape, move it into the article space or submit it for review. If not, continue to improve it until it is ready.
  3. Return the favor: If you have discovered any citations, images, or missing bits of information that are not in the original language article(s), please consider inserting them if you can.

Content translation notes

[edit]
  1. ^ For example, for over 170 languages (such as bg:Шаблон:Личност, es:Plantilla:Ficha de persona, et:Mall:Infokast persoon, eu:Txantiloi:Biografia infotaula automatikoa, fr:Modèle:Infobox_Biographie, nl:Sjabloon:Infobox persoon, pl:Szablon:Biogram infobox, and sr:Шаблон:Инфокутија биографија), the corresponding English template is Template:Infobox person. Note that German (de) and Italian (it) do not have corresponding Infobox person templates.
