Template:Google translation

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

This template creates an external link to the Google translation of a URL into English.

If you want to provide an (automatic) translation to a source in a language other than English (for example the Spanish Wikipedia), you can simply use {{Google translation}} to add an external Google translation link.

Keep in mind that this is a machine translation which quality is not as good as a professional translation. However, it can be useful to give the reader a rough idea of the original document if other language versions and sources are not available.
