AttributeTranslation (source) – A script that automatically adds attribution (with a dummy edit and the appropriate talk page template) to articles with non-attributed translations of other Wikipedias and notifies the translator(s). Useful when reviewing articles at New Pages Patrol.

Steps performed by the script:

Adds a dummy edit to the article with an edit summary attribution
Adds {{Translated page}} to the article's talk page (if needed)
Notifies the translator(s) with {{uw-translation}}

Installation

Automatic

Step 1: Check the checkbox at Preferences → Gadgets → Advanced → Install scripts without having to manually edit JavaScript files (documentation) and click Save.
Step 2: Click the big blue "Install" button in the infobox on the right of this page.

Manual

Add the following to Special:MyPage/common.js (or your skin-specific js, if you prefer):

{{subst:iusc|User:Clearfrienda/scripts/attributetranslation.js}}

Usage

On articles, there will be an additional "Translation attribution" menu option next to the regular "Move" option. In Vector skin, this is within the "More" dropdown menu.
Input the two-letter language code of the original page — found in the url before wikipedia.org (e.g. zh, es, fr)
Add the original page title
Select if the {{Translated page}} notice should be added to the talk page. In general, it should be added if the content translated makes up a significant portion of the new article.
Choose the user(s) you wish to warn with {{uw-translation}} about translating without attribution
