((expand Spanish)) |
You can help expand this article with text translated from the corresponding article in Spanish. Click [show] for important translation instructions.
Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Consider adding a topic to this template: there are already 5,022 articles in the main category, and specifying|topic= will aid in categorization.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.
You must provide copyright attribution in the edit summary accompanying your translation by providing an interlanguage link to the source of your translation. A model attribution edit summary is Content in this edit is translated from the existing Spanish Wikipedia article at [[:es:Exact name of the Spanish article]]; see its history for attribution.
You may also add the template ((Translated page|es|Exact name of Spanish article)) to the talk page.
For more guidance, see Wikipedia:Translation.

Templates for other languages are available in Category:Expand by language Wikipedia templates. For full instructions, see WP:Translation.
