Can you help verify translations of articles from Spanish

Hello Ce Ele 415,

Would you be able to help evaluate the accuracy of translations of Wikipedia articles from Spanish to English Wikipedia?

File:Language icon.svg

This would involve evaluating a translated article on the English Wikipedia by comparing it to the original Spanish article, and marking it "Pass" or "Fail" based on whether the translation faithfully represents the original. Here's the reason for this request:

There are a number of articles on English Wikipedia that were created as machine translations from different languages including Spanish, using the Content Translation tool, sometimes by users with no knowledge of the source language. The config problem that allowed this to happen has since been fixed, but this has left us with a backlog of articles whose accuracy of translation is suspect or unknown, including some articles translated from Spanish. In many cases, other editors have come forward later to copyedit and fix any English grammar or style issues, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the translation is accurate, as factual errors from the original translation may remain. To put it another way: Good English is not the same as good translation.

If you can help out, that would be great. Here's a sample of the articles that need checking:

• Viscofan ✓ Pass
• Larika_Russell ✓ Pass

All you have to do, is compare the English article to the Spanish article, and mark it "Pass" or "Fail" (templates {{Pass}} and {{Fail}} may be useful). (Naturally, if you feel like fixing an inaccurate translation and then marking it "Pass", that's even better, but it isn't required.)

If you can help, please let me know. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elinruby (talk • contribs) 07:39, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi Ce Ele 415, I'm workng with Elinruby and just wanted to clarify a point that wasn't clear in the invitation: to record your Pass/Fail, just leave it here with a {{ping}} to Elinruby or myself, not in the article itself. Since you'd already marked it on the articles themselves, I undid them there, and added them here instead. Thanks for you help! Mathglot (talk) 11:22, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

thanks a lot for the help! want to do some more? Elinruby (talk) 11:28, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Actually, Mathglot pointed out to me that you are a native catalan speaker and there is quite a bit of that also, if that is interesting. Elinruby (talk) 09:37, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi Catriona, can we send you a few articles translated from Catalan to look at? Mathglot (talk) 07:43, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Roads IRC

Just wanted to let you know that there is an IRC channel where we talk about editing articles about roads (among other things) and you're welcome to join us any time on #wikipedia-en-roads ^connect. We do tend to run on USA time, which is 6-9 hours behind your time zone, but there should be a lot of overlap of awake times. –Fredddie™ 01:35, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

Date links

Hello, thanks for your edit to the article on Civil engineering. However, please do not add date links, as they are considered overlinking. Graham87 03:57, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
