{{helpme}} May I just translate an article in English to portuguese, for example? I want to put this page about James Hansen available in portuguese or spanish, once I speak both very well. Could you show me how can I do this? Thanks for your help.Carlalevon (talk) 22:35, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, you certainly can, but keep in mind that es: and pt: may have different guidelines on inclusion than en: (here). This may be a topic you should discuss on those Wikipedias, rather than here. Intelligentsium22:39, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict)If you are asking if you are allowed to translate an article to Portuguese or Spanish, then note that all content on Wikipedia is free content published under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license and the GFDL. So long as you adhere to those terms, you can certainly make any translation you would like. Furthermore, it may be helpful to take that translation to partner sites such as the Spanish or Portuguese Wikipedias. Thanks --Shirik (talk) 22:41, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
