== Other Language Versions of Existing Article ==

How can I create other language versions of an article that already exists in English?

:Start by checking that the language you want exists at the [[:m:Complete list of language Wikipedias available|complete list of language Wikipedias available]]. Then make sure the article doesn't exist on that language's Wikipedia. At that point, you can either write a completely new article, or translate the English one. -- [[User:Cyrius|Cyrius]]|[[User talk:Cyrius|&#9998;]] 20:45, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

:: Also, [[m:Translation]] has some good information on translating articles. Basically, just hop over to the desired Wikipedia (e.g. [http://de.wikipedia.org de.wikipedia.org] for German) and create the translated article there. Then add [[Wikipedia:Interlanguage links|interlanguage links]] from both the original page and translated page. --[[User:Diberri|Diberri]] | [[User talk:Diberri|Talk]] 20:55, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)

:::And also, I think that user accounts are independent on each language wiki, so you will probably also want to sign up with a similar username on the other language version. -- [[User:Solipsist|Solipsist]] 19:49, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
