Use this template to tag articles in the English Wikipedia project that are written in a foreign language, where the article does not already exist on a foreign Wikipedia project. If the article already exists on a foreign Wikipedia, then use {{Db-a2}} or {{Db-foreign}} instead. See speedy deletion criterion WP:A2.
This template will categorise tagged articles into Category:Wikipedia articles needing translation. All articles tagged should also have their entry manually added to Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English.
This template is for use on articles. It should not be used for drafts.
For graphics used in articles that have non-English text, instead of using this template you can put in a request at Commons:Commons:Graphic Lab/Map workshop or Commons:Commons:Graphic Lab/Illustration workshop.
