Wikipedia:Spanish Translation of the Week
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Each week a Translation of the Week will be picked using this page. This is an article from the Spanish Wikipedia, ideally one which has reached feature article status (es:Wikipedia:Artículos destacados), but at least one which we believe to be solid, accurate, and free of copyright issues, and which either has no article or a basic stub page on the English wikipedia. The aim is, through widespread co-operative translation, to have by the end of the week a featured-standard article, or at least one of high quality, on a subject which may not otherwise have been addressed on the English Wikipedia.
The project aims to fill gaps in the English Wikipedia, to give users a focus and to give us all something to be proud of. Anyone can nominate an article and can vote for the nominated articles. Every Sunday, the votes are tallied, and the winner will be promoted for a week to potential contributors.
Anyone, no matter what their level of fluency in Spanish or English, is welcome to lend a hand. Remember, be bold in your translations. If your written English is not perfect, someone will be more than willing to fix up any mistakes that you may make. And as always, if you see a mistake in the article that is being translated, don't be afraid to correct it after checking the relevant talk pages for any relevant information. As for any Wikipedia article, expansion of the article with appropriate material is also welcome.

Translating an article
Make sure the following is at the top of the article being translated:
{{SpanTransWeek}} [[:es:Título]] [[es:Título]]
And make sure this is at the top of its talk page if appropriate:
{{FeaturedElsewhere}} [[:es:Título]] ----
Finally, the original article should be wikilinked back to us:
[[en:Título]]
Replacing "Título" with the actual title, of course.
Once the article is satisfactorily translated, proof-read, wikified and adapted to the English Wikipedia, then {{SpanTransWeek}} [[:es:Título]] should be removed, and, if appropriate, the article should be nominated as a featured article.
Add a references section, citing the Spanish Wikipedia article as a source (you can do this by typing {{subst:SPATRAref|:es:Título|date}} in the references section). An example is shown below:
- This article draws heavily on the corresponding article in the Spanish-language Wikipedia, which was accessed in the version of June 20, 2005.
Note that the Spanish wikipedia has different standards, so we will have to improve the articles and defend them if they are to become featured here. In particular, we will almost always need a better set of citations.
