TheSpanish Translation of the Week orSPATRA 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 thelist of translators and lend a hand.

The ideal selection is one which has reached feature article status ates: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 basicstub.

Be bold in your translations andcivil 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 atWikipedia:Translation into English.

The selection process involves three steps:

1. Nomination: New nominations can be made at any time and should be added at the end of theCandidates for next week section. Insightful comments may assist others in casting their vote.
2. 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.
3. Selection: The SPATRA is selected byapproval 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.

====[[ARTICLE]] (Date, 2006)====*from: [[:es:Name of Spanish source article]]; '''Support:'''# ~~~~; '''Comments:'''*----

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

1. Remove the {{SpanTransWeek}} template at the top of the old article.
2. Note the old translation in thearchive.
3. If appropriate, the article should be nominated as afeatured article.

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

1. Announce the new selection atWikipedia:Spanish Translation of the Week/current by replacing the old article with the new
2. Copy and paste the entire Spanish article into the English article plus "/Translation" at the end of the article name.
3. Add {{SpanTransWeek|[[:es:Título]]}} to the top of the new article
4. Cite the Spanish article in the references section with {{SPATRAcite|:es:Título|date}}
5. Link to the Spanish article by placing [[es:Título]] at the end of the article
6. Link that Spanish article back to the English translation by placing [[en:Title]] at the end of theSpanish article
7. Finally, if the original article was afeatured 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 usingCapernaum andes:Cafarnaúm:

1. ...es:Cafarnaúm toCapernaum...
2. Capernaum/Translation
3. {{SpanTransWeek|[[:es:Cafarnaúm]]}}
4. {{subst:SPATRAref|:es:Cafarnaúm|3 October 2005}}
5. [[es:Cafarnaúm]]
6. [[en:Capernaum]](in the Spanish article)
7. {{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 authorUser:Saeta (a.k.aes: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.--DO11.1019:35, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

comments

• 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.

Comments:

• 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)[reply]

• Spanish article is rated Featured Article but the English one is not complete at all: it reads like a travel guide and hasn't any references.
