translate fron English to other languages, interwiki lingo link, and stud or another way?

Hi all, my edits were deleted, wasting my time. I found interesting English Wikipedia articles about natural beauty and request translations by Wikipedian editors in that country. I was going to learn how to add stubs or red links in those countries, and ask for translations. Or is there somewhere I can the English articles so they are marked as needing translation? if I want an English article to appear in the Asian Wikiepedia like Japan or ChinaI will write

zh-cn:page name

And what then? I should click the link from the sidebar in the English page and then create a red link there or stub there? Will it then get automatically translated, or should I do something else to auto translate it? I copied code from here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Interlanguage_links

I also looked here, but there it doesn't tell you how to translate FROM English, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contributing_to_articles_outside_your_native_language

Do I just need to add a special code to the articles so that anyone who wants to translate from English can see them?

Any tips please?

As this is the English language Wikipedia site, you won't find any information here about how to create articles in other languages. If you want to create articles on other language Wikipedia sites, then you should go to those sites and create the articles there. For example http://ja.wikipedia.org/ if you want to start a page on the Japanese Wikipedia. You should not create interwiki links to articles on other language sites until the articles have actually been created. --DAJF (talk) 11:21, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

(e/c) There is no automatic translation. An article is translated by creating the article at the other language Wikipedia and then actually doing the translation (though in some cases there may be forums to request other do a translation). Interlanguage links are not a direct part of translation. They are to add a link to an article showing that a foreign language article on the same subject already exists, so that users can go to the foreign language article and know of its existence. There is a new tool to help with translating English articles to other language Wikipedias you might try: Wikibhasha.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 11:24, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Translation. Follow the links to other language Wikipedias to see their processes for translations. Only place interlanguage links to existing articles at other languages. They are not used to request translations. Red links cannot be made to other languages. They are only used for missing topics in the same language. Wikipedia does not have built in automatic translation. Unedited machine translations are not acceptable at Wikipedia. PrimeHunter (talk) 12:55, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanx for helping and repyling Guyz,

woo hoo, that wikibasha thing is sooooooooo cool!  Fuhghettaboutit, I'm going to use it for my work too. Wow, this is cool, it means I won't have to use Google Translate anymore, this is so much easier. There is so much news in English in Wikipedia, but hardly any in the international ones.
