TRANSLATION DEPARTMENT

RELATED PROJECTS

The Spanish Translation of the Week or SPATRA is a collaborative effort to translate worthy Spanish articles on subjects which may not otherwise have been addressed on the English Wikipedia. Anyone, no matter what their level of fluency in Spanish or English, is welcome to add their name to the list of translators and lend a hand.

The ideal selection is one which has reached feature article status at es:Wikipedia:Artículos destacados, but practically speaking can be any article that appears solid, accurate, and free of copyright issues. It is also preferable that there be no English article or only a basic stub.

Be bold in your translations and civil in your interactions with collaborators. If your language skills are less than perfect, someone will happily fix your mistakes; conversely, never hesitate to correct any mistakes you find. As for any Wikipedia article, expansion of the article with appropriate material is also welcome. More guidelines, such as the prohibition against pure machine translation, can be found at Wikipedia:Translation into English.

The SPATRA process

Selecting the next SPATRA

The selection process involves three steps:

Nomination: New nominations can be made at any time and should be added at the end of the Candidates for next week section. Insightful comments may assist others in casting their vote.
Voting: To vote for an article, add your ~~~~ under the article's support section. Any registered Wikipedian can vote on this page, regardless of their Spanish skill.
Selection: The SPATRA is selected by approval voting; thus, you may vote for as many candidates as you like, and opposition votes have no bearing. The article with the most support votes is selected as the winner. In case of a tie, the candidate that was nominated first wins.

To change to a newly selected article, first decomission the old SPATRA:

Remove the {{SpanTransWeek}} template at the top of the old article.
Note the old translation in the archive.
If appropriate, the article should be nominated as a featured article.

Now prepare the new article (the Spanish title replaces "Título"):

Announce the new selection at Template:SPATRA article by replacing the old article with the new
Copy and paste the entire Spanish article into the English article plus "/Translation" at the end of the article name.
Add {{SpanTransWeek|[[:es:Título]]}} to the top of the new article
Cite the Spanish article in the references section with {{SPATRAcite|:es:Título|date}}
Link to the Spanish article by placing [[es:Título]] at the end of the article
Link that Spanish article back to the English translation by placing [[en:Title]] at the end of the Spanish article
Finally, if the original article was a featured article in the Spanish Wikipedia, place {{Link FA|es}} at the end and {{FeaturedElsewhere|Spanish|:es:Original_Article_Name}} at the top of the article's discussion page.

Example using Capernaum and es:Cafarnaúm:

...es:Cafarnaúm to Capernaum...
Capernaum/Translation
{{SpanTransWeek|[[:es:Cafarnaúm]]}}
{{subst:SPATRAref|:es:Cafarnaúm|3 October 2005}}
[[es:Cafarnaúm]]
[[en:Capernaum]] (in the Spanish article)
{{FeaturedElsewhere|Spanish|:es:Cafarnaúm}} and {{Link FA|es}}

Comments:

I was involved in the clean up of the stubby English version of this article. Recently a machine translation of the Spanish article (which *looks* to be quite comprehensive) was attempted by the Spanish article's primary author User:Saeta (a.k.a es:Usuario:Lobillo) who clearly wants to expand the article and would surely be a great resource. Also, writing/translating the article should be both interesting and, well, fun.--DO11.10 19:35, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

The English article is not complete at all; compared to the Spanish one.
Compared to other articles about cities of Venezuela (Caracas, Barquisimeto, Mérida, Mérida, Maracaibo for example) it is too poor.

The English article has a good article structure, but its almost blank, and the Spanish article is rated GOOD. Jerez is one of the most important cities in the South of Spain and probably deserved a better article than the current one.--Wafry (talk) 14:26, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Cleaning Up Ground Zero
That Was The Week That Was. November 22, 2008, the 45th anniversary of the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy (JFK) Americans were once again raped by his murderers. The archived copies of the attack on America were removed from public availability. This movie is available in streaming format NOT. The archived copies of the attack on America were removed from public availability. The archived copies of the attack on America were removed from public availability. While the saying is that the victors write history, we know that the perps delete it. Here is New York is long gone. Now the archive joins the death march. Back up. Back up. Always back up. This video is in tribute to Joe Craine, without whose research we would still have the internet archives still available. More importantly, it is in humble tribute to KillTown and TheWebFairy both of whom have religiously archived and backed up from the earliest times. The voiceover (from the defunct archive) medley includes additional proof of media complicity... Listen as the Spanish speaker being interviewed at the pentagon says the plane he saw was white and blue and looked like a United Airlines plane. The translator acts dumb and says Spanish speaker said a United States plane, then the studio host cans the interview and mis-characterizing the argument as one of size, rather than color.
