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.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.

Loueckhote served as the sole member from New Caledonia to the French Senate from 1992 until 2011.[3] Loueckhote announced in September 2011 that he would not seek re-election to the Senate[3] after the Union for a Popular Movement political party threw its support to two other candidates, Pierre Frogier and Hilarion Vendegou, in June.[3]
In 2011, New Caledonia's representation in the Senate of France was increased to two members as part of the Senate's enlargement.[3] An electoral college held on 24 September 2011, will elect the two new Senators, who will succeed Loueckhote.[3]
