I´ve been trying to contribute a translation for an existing English article,Parent-teacher conference, my attempts were unsuccessful, I´d like to edit it as close to original text as possible, links, automatic headings for table of content, references.

What it appears you've been trying to do is replace the English Wikipedia entry with an entry written in Spanish. This will not do. Look in es.wikipedia.org and - if there's not already an article there - contribute your translation as a new article in the Spanish Wikipedia. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 17:49, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I understand what I´m doing wrong, my intention is not to replace. I´d greatly appreciate help on what guide or help page can lead me to the steps to follow. I have already checked for an spanish version and it does not exist. You suggest es.wikipedia.org, can you be more specific on the page to consult?, Thanks for your response. --arcs 22:23, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

I'm not an editor on es.wikipedia.org and my Spanish reading capability would probably rate as no better than 50%. But, reasoning by analogy, you would go to the Spanish Wikipedia and create the new page, including whatever the template is, perhaps on the talk page of the new article, that indicates that it was translated from English Wikipedia. The rules over there may be somewhat different than on English Wikipedia and I don't know if there is any overlap in administrators between here and there.

As long as you're acting in good faith, I don't see any downside to creating the article. You may get some pushback about the geographical distribution of parent-teacher conferences as a practice, but it's certainly something that Spanish-speakers in the United States are likely to encounter, so should probably pass as a suitable subject for an article. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:42, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
