Requests for translation

Icono de traducción.svg

Wikimedia Commons is a multilingual project. Our ongoing efforts to make this project internationalised provides our readers from all over the world with more convenience. We are able to provide descriptions and pages in any of the hundreds of foreign languages. The purpose of this page is so that users and editors can request or fulfill requests for translation, as well as proofreading that will benefit the Commons project.

Translating entire descriptions into another language can be helpful when getting started, but there are some caveats:

  • Translation is hard. Amateur translators tend to produce prose that is unnatural, and perhaps incorrect when it comes to specialized terminology.
  • Machine translation is much much worse. Never use machine translation to create a description!

Note: If you are here because you want a graphic to be translated, the best place to do so is the Graphic Lab. You may request the graphic's translation here, and then take it to the Graphic Lab so that a wikigraphist can apply a translated image.

Make a request

To make a new request, go here and create a new section such as ==English to Spanish== followed by your request.

Please double check the following proposed addition to Commons:Licensing regarding Cuban copyright law. I'm neither an expert on law nor an expert translator.

According to [1]:

  • Chapter IX, Article 43: copyright extends for the life of the author plus 50 years, with specific exceptions. For collaborative works, copyright extends 50 years from the death of each author. The term of 50 years begins from the following January 1 after the author passes away.
  • Chapter IX, Article 45: in cases of unknown or anonymous authorship, copyright extends 50 years from the date of first publication. If the identity of the author becomes known, then rights extend for the author's life plus 50 years.
  • Chapter IX, Article 46: Copyright hold by Juristic people is illimited, heritable and falling back to the State in case of dissolution.
  • Chapter IX, Article 47: for photographic works (or analogous procedures) and applied arts, copyright extends for 25 years.
  • Chapter IX, Article 48: at its expiration, a work can be declared as owned by the State by the Council of Ministers

Thanks, Durova 05:36, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

I added articles 46 and 48. The translation is ok, but note that articles 43, 45 and 47 hold a note "Modified by executive order (Decreto Ley) #156/94" so the actual dates may differ from that law's. Mark anywhere that it applies from 1977 (it derogates previous laws from 1979-1880 but they might hold for works previous to 1977). Platonides 15:55, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

And a second one for Panamanian copyright law:

According to[2]:

  • Title I SAW: Duration and Limits, Chapter 1, Duration, Article 42: copyright extends 50 years from the death of the author. For collaborative works, copyright duration extends 50 years from the death of the last coauthor.
  • Title I SAW: Duration and Limits, Chapter 1, Duration, Article 43: for anonymous or pseudonymous works, copyright lasts 50 years from the date of its publication unless the author reveals his or her identity before that period lapses. If the author reveals his or her identity during this time then article 42 applies.

Durova 20:20, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

It would be handy if the Spanish law was put on Spanish Wikisource and a translation was started on English Wikisource. John Vandenberg 02:10, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
