On your recent translations
Hello, Tango935.
I've noticed several mistakes in your recent translations, some of which occur over multiple articles. I recommend you read the translation help page when you have the time, as well as take a look at previous existing translations to learn established translations to common terms and sentences and the general TF Wiki style.
However, if Spanish is not your first language (I cannot say for sure, as you don't provide a way to tell on either your user page or Steam profile), then I ask you to please leave translation work to native speakers.
Cheers. - BrazilianNut (talk) 17:26, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hello there BrazilianNut,
- Thank you for your recent remarks about my translations. I'll be making sure to mark my next translations with the correct templates, as some (if not most) still need to be polished, you could say that some parts are more of a placeholder than a fully fledged translation. I'll also be making use of other fully translated pages more as a way of reference. However, marking some of these pages that I've translated with the template for translation seems like an overreaction, since all they need is fixing the grammar/syntax, and rewriting some lines, but as a whole they are fully translated, just not "correctly".
- Oh and going a little off-topic here: I wouldn't discourage people from making contributions/translations even if it's not in their native language, especially in an environment like this. People can still make valuable contributions, even in a foreign language —just like yourself.
- While I do edit articles in multiple languages, I only do what I know is within my capabilities. For example, I can speak Spanish, but I don't speak it fluently, so I'm not going to translate a complex article to ES; I might, however, translate a basic disambiguation page or update an existing article that's just missing a simple sentence that I know how to translate (such as trivia like "This item is based on [character] from [movie]"). If I know there is something outdated/wrong in an article and I'm either uncertain that I can update/fix it or certain that I cannot, though, then I'll just add the appropriate templates to it (which is what I did with the articles you translated - I added
{{correction}}
to the ones where I spotted some sort of grammatical mistake and only added{{trans}}
to the ones that still had untranslated things. - BrazilianNut (talk) 07:07, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

Trans template usage
Hi there,
I noticed you added {{trans}}
to a bunch of articles. Note that this template should be used for when you are actively translating the article. If you wish to mark one for updating, use {{update trans}}
instead. | s | GrampaSwood

- Hello GrampaSwood,
- Yeah I'm marking these to finish/update them in the foreseeable future, I'll change the rest to "update trans" for the time being, thx for the clarification and be seeing you around.

Feedback about your Spanish translations
Hi, thanks for your contributions to the TF2 Wiki!
I wanted to point out a few small things I noticed in some of the articles you’ve created or edited:
When translating for the Spanish wiki, keep in mind that you are translating for European Spanish, so the recommended style is to use angular quotation marks « » instead of English quotation marks " ".
In the update history section, I noticed that in some articles you wrote your own translations of the patch notes. While that’s not wrong, since January 2022, Valve has been providing official release notes in Spanish. You can check them here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/440/allnews/?l=spanish
To stay consistent with the official localization, it’s recommended to use those official translations when available.
If you ever have any questions about the translation process or the style used on the Spanish wiki, this page might be useful: https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Team_Fortress_Wiki:Translation_progress/es#Bienvenido
Gaelcoral (talk) 05:35, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hey there Gaelcoral,
- While European Spanish is the current Spanish localization supported by Valve (and prioritized), a mix of different localizations can be found throughout translated articles, alongside the usage of both types of quotation marks, due to the lack of a rule enforcing one over the other.
- As for the patch notes, the translation guidelines encourage editors to translate on their own using verified references, though your input is an important addition for new translators, that'll save a lot of time.
- If you would like to propose any changes/additions to the current translation guidelines, make sure to check the discussion page where you can find new changes and other topics.

Whiterock images
Hi there,
When uploading map screenshots, please do not include the Steam Workshop images category. These are only for Workshop thumbnails. Remember to also create the map images category (in this case Category:Whiterock images) next time.
In the future, please also take screenshots yourself rather than taking them from the Workshop submission page. | s | GrampaSwood
