Template:Hidden translation
 | An earlier translated version of this article may have introduced errors of fact which may no longer be evident after subsequent copyediting. It needs attention from someone with dual fluency to check it for accuracy. |
 | If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as the standard installation of Twinkle adds and removes this template. Thank you! |
{{Hidden translation}} will categorise tagged articles into Category:Wikipedia articles needing cleanup after translation.
Purpose
[edit]When to use:
This template is used to identify articles which may contain translations with errors of fact. Articles which are the result of a rough or a machine translation, and which subsequently underwent significant cleanup so that the level of English is now similar to other, never-translated articles, may obscure the fact that factual errors introduced by the translation are still there. You may tag these articles with {{Hidden translation}}.
When not to use:
If the current version of the article is clearly a poor translation, consider using {{Rough translation}} or {{Cleanup translation}} instead.
Usage
[edit]{{Hidden translation|language-name|version-number|section}}
Parameters
[edit]- 1: (optional) name of language
- 2: (optional) version number of earlier translation
- 3: (optional) replaces the word "article"; e.g. use "section" for use in a section.
- listed: (optional) = "yes" if the article has been listed at Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English
Example
[edit]{{Hidden translation|German|123456789|section|listed=yes}}
Another way to do it is with ordinals for the unnamed parameters:
{{Hidden translation|1=Russian|2=7654321|3=paragraph}}
If the second parameter is filled in as in the example above, the template will provide a hyperlink to the given version.
This template will categorize tagged articles into Category:Wikipedia articles needing cleanup after translation. It should not be substituted.
