Help:Multilingual support (East Asian) edit

Throughout Wikipedia, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese characters (CJKV characters) are used in relevant articles. Computers with older operating systems with the default language set to English or other Western or Cyrillic language settings will require some setup and proper fonts (See also: List of CJK fonts) to be able to display the characters. Newer computer operating systems may not require any additional steps to view most of common CJKV characters.

Japanese edit

すべての人間は、生まれながらにして自由であり、
かつ、尊厳と権利と について平等である。
人間は、理性と良心とを授けられており、
互いに同胞の精神をもって行動しなければならない。

Tones edit

The tone mark is added to the vowel in the syllable that comes first in this sequence: a o e i u ü. For example, ai takes the tone mark on a, and ia also takes the tone mark on a. The only exception is iu which takes the tone mark on u. Italicise pinyin to differentiate it from the English text.

To help you type pinyin, Wikipedia now has clickable characters with diacritics under the edit box; you can also use {{subst:pinyin|input}} which takes pinyin with tone numbers as input (eg. Lv3shun4kou3) and converts it to the preferred form with diacritics (Lǚshùnkǒu). Other options include Pinyinput or online converters such as Google Translate's phonetic reading function.

Keeping in mind that a word in pinyin cannot start with the letters "I," "U," or "Ü," the diacritics used are:

  1. The first tone is represented by a macron (ˉ) added to the pinyin vowel:

    ā ē ī ō ū ǖ Ā Ē Ō
  2. The second tone is denoted by an acute accent (ˊ):

    á é í ó ú ǘ Á É Ó
  3. The third tone is symbolized by a caron (inverted circumflex) (ˇ):

    ǎ ě ǐ ǒ ǔ ǚ Ǎ Ě Ǒ
    1. Please do not use the breve (a curved downward circumflex) for the third tone.
  4. The fourth tone is represented by a grave accent (ˋ):

    à è ì ò ù ǜ À È Ò
  5. The fifth or neutral tone is represented by a normal vowel without any accent mark:
    (There is no need to indicate neutral tones with numbers or with dots before the syllable: "·ma")

    a e i o u ü A E O

Tone diacritics are not used to transcribe names or terms that appear in the normal flow of an article (e.g. "...early Ming dynasty scholar Gù Yánwǔ..." or "...a bronze dǐng excavated from a Zhou dynasty tomb..."). They should only be used in templates and parentheticals (e.g. Chinese: 顧炎武; pinyin: Gù Yánwǔ) or in infoboxes.

Welcome templates edit

Welcome!

Hello, Omotecho/sandbox, and welcome to Wikipedia! While efforts to improve Wikipedia are always welcome, unfortunately your contributions are not written in English that is good enough to be useful. You appear to be more familiar with Japanese; did you know there is a Japanese Wikipedia? You may prefer to contribute there instead. In any case, welcome to the project, and thank you for your efforts!

ようこそ!

Omotecho/sandboxさん、はじめまして。英語版ウィキペディアへようこそ。英語版ウィキペディアへの投稿はいつでも歓迎いたしますが、残念ながら今回Omotecho/sandboxさんに執筆いただいた英文は英語版ウィキペディアの水準を満たしておりません。もしよろしければ、日本語版ウィキペディアの方へ投稿していただければ幸いです。ウィキペディア・プロジェクトへの参加ありがとうございます。 -- Omotecho (talk) 12:51, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

But for other readers, non-standard English is an annoyance. Some hints and suggestions in dealing with this:

(clipped)

  • Don't try to correct articles that you don't understand. You stand every chance of making the problem worse not better. Instead raise your concerns on the article talk page, on [2] pages needing attention (Articles needing attention), cleanup.[3],[4] or even the Village pump.
  • Don't list articles for deletion, or vote for them to be deleted, on the grounds of poor English. That's irrelevant on AfD. Again, raise your concerns in the proper place, or better still fix them. If the article is on AfD for other reasons and you think it will be deleted, no problems. If you fear it will be kept despite the poor English, either fix it or come back to do so after the decision.


To flag an article for attention, please mark the article (or its talk page in some cases) with an appropriate tag, such as those listed on Wikipedia:Cleanup resources, or check the table.[5]

(clipped)

After fixing an article, the tag should be removed from the article itself if you believe the job is done. (If you are not sure, leave the tag in place, and someone else will likely check up on it.) Removing the tag will prevent the article from showing up in future automatic updates, and stop showing a warning to readers about a problem that no longer exists. (Some tags are added to the talk page instead of the article page, so you may need to check there instead.) You may also optionally choose to remove the entry from the "Pages needing attention" list for an article you have just fixed. If you don't, it will eventually be removed automatically. The bot will only update this page when a new database dump is produced, so the most recent changes will not be reflected in these listings. If you have any comments or questions about the content in a particular article (such as what about it needs to be fixed), please use the talk page for that article. (When viewing the article itself, click the "discussion" tab at the top of the page.)

Wikipedia:Contributing to articles outside your native language

  • If you are fluent or near-fluent, or simply if you read English well but it is not your native language, consider that one of the most useful things you can do is to get involved in translation efforts. You might want to have a look at Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English and Wikipedia:Translation into English, and possibly add them to your watchlist. You might want to add your own name at Wikipedia:Translators available, or maybe at the equivalent for another language.

Interlanguage links

  • Edit summaries are helpful. If you are doing something “mechanical” (adding an interwiki or a template), even an edit summary in another language is probably more useful than nothing. If you are leaving a foreign language remark, it helps to say something like “comment in Spanish, translation needed”.
  • A useful place to look is Wikipedia:Translators available. If you have a genuinely important contribution to make, you might try contacting one of these people and asking for translation help (but please realize that they are under no obligation to get involved). It's easy to get help with a word you don't know; it's much harder to ask someone to translate eight paragraphs.

You can always add your information to a different-language Wikipedia and then submit a request at Wikipedia:Translation into English.

  • Another task that is possible for people who are only moderately comfortable in English is to add appropriate Interlanguage links, connecting existing, corresponding articles in different languages.

Requests for assistance edit

Please add your request to the top of the list. Give the location of the material with which you want help, and if possible why you're worried. If you can leave your request in English, great. If not, try to leave it in languages that a reasonable number of English-speakers are likely to be able to read. Always remember to sign your request with Omotecho (talk) 12:41, 5 July 2014 (UTC), so that the person helping can contact you for information:
