Hello!
The Wikipedia content may be used by anybody, provided appropriate credit is given. However, we're especially interested in having volunteers write articles to cover any gaps where there are English Wikipedia pages but none on any of the 300+ Wikipedias in other languages.
Please spend some time becoming familiar with the fundamentals of editing Wikipedia before you begin translating articles. Please pay attention to the five pillars, or ideals, that serve as our compass.
The Wikipedia for each language has its own rules for inclusion, content, sourcing, etc. Following the instructions below will allow you to build an article on another Wikipedia that is equally subject to those rules as one you would write from start. Therefore, make sure that your translated article complies with the destination Wikipedia's policies and that you are aware of them.
Thank you!
Wikipedia welcomes the involvement of students in article editing. Article translation is particularly well-suited to student involvement. We suggest that they are asked to translate from the language they are learning, to the language with which they are already familiar.
Such efforts provide useful, real-world translation experience for students, who will be motivated by the fact that their work will be seen by thousands of Wikipedia readers. This also benefits Wikipedia readers, who gain access to information about other cultures and peoples. For assistance setting up a classroom translation project, please see Wikipedia: WikiProject Classroom coordination and Wikipedia: School and university projects.
{{ User Translator 2}} may be used to indicate your willingness to translate/proofread and your participation in this project:

After putting this template on a user page, the page will be added to the appropriate subcategory of
Category: Available translators in Wikipedia. When the proofreader
attribute is set to 'yes', the page will also be added to a subcategory of
Category: Available proofreaders in Wikipedia.
This page serves as a reference for anyone, but especially for new contributors, interested in assisting in the translation of articles "from" the English Wikipedia "into" other languages.
