Some cookies to welcome you! :D

Welcome to Wikipedia, Simocry! I am Kerotan and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

I am assuming that Italian is your native tongue right?, (I checked out your page on the Italian wikipedia), so what do you mean by a translator in that sense?, surely you don't need help with understanding English if you claim that you want to translate English into Italian and Italian and English. Is it problems with the language of wikipedia itself that you are having?.

For example do you struggle with doing stuff like this or ^this?--Kerotan^{Leave Me a Message} Have a nice day :) 22:30, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Thats a little clearer now, all right then, I will show you the ropes as it were, firstly welcome (again) to wikipedia, I think you will like it here, Now onto the advice, firstly when leaving messages on pages like these remember to sign your message with "~~~~". this leaves your user name, a link to your user page and the date and time that you left the comment, this makes it easier to for people to see who said what.

Next on your user page, you have one user page for the Italian wikipedia and one for the English wikipedia, I know this can seem unfortunate, but this came about from how wikipedia as a whole developed. Now, on to what you put on your user page, in your case I think it would be wise to put what languages you can speak on your user page along with a link to your Italian user page, but that is pretty much it. You can put what ever you want on it really, as long as it stays within the rules of WP:Userpage.

Now on translating articles, there are many ways you can help with translation on wikipedia, firstly you can write a new article on the Italian wikipedia, for this example lets say a new video game, you also find out that this new video game has an article on the English wikipedia, so you can translate the English version of the article into Italian and create the article on this new video game on the Italian wikipedia.

To put that in an example, lets say that the text below is from an article on the English wikipedia that the Italian wikipedia doesn't have an article for.

Bartolomeo da Bologna (fl. 1405 – 1427) was a north Italian composer of the early Quattrocento, the transitional period between the late medieval style of the Trecento and the early Renaissance.

you would then translate the above text into Italian, and then create an article on the Italian wikipedia with the Italian name for the subject of the article, and then place your translation of the english article in the new article on the Italian wikipedia.

so that is one way that you can translate articles, by using source information from the english wikipedia and translating it for the Italian wikipedia.

Another way you can conduct translation, is at WP:RFT, where people request for an article to be translated from a certain language into another language. Currently there are very few requests there for translation of Italian into English, although there are many requests for people to translate English articles into Italian on the Italian wikipedia, and you can find a link to those requests here, and that page also contains information about how to translate.

A third way is through Wikipedia:WikiProject Echo, and since i have talked a bit too long, I will leave out for the moment and leave that for your own investigation.

However, I am always open to questions, and if my quite frankly unclear explanation of how translation works on wikipedia hasn't answered your questions, you are always welcome to leave me a message on my talk page asking any question you wish.--Kerotan^{Leave Me a Message} Have a nice day :) 23:20, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Translation of 95 year old philosophy.

Greetings,

I am trying to get a team together who would finally translate "Sistema di logica come teoria del conoscere" into English. I thought Wikipedia's list of Italian-to-English translators might be a good group to 'hit up' on this subject. If personal assistance cannot be provided, perhaps suggestions or helping point me in the right direction of who might be willing to help? Best regards & thank you.
