Il semble être comme si l'outil de traduction de Wikipedia est cassé, comme il aurait dû tout traduit en français, Nick2crosby (discuter) 23 mai 2015 à 03:26 (CEST)

Hi, Nick2crosby!

Well, I am sorry to inform you that no machine translation has ever been correct, which is why it is not acceptable, as it generally means one has to go back to the original article to manage an understandable translation. (I suggest you read WP:Traduction automatique, which lists and explains some real funny results .)
I even remember some cases in which the translated text meant exactly the opposite of the original language.
So beware! A machine translation is just a help for someone who knows both languages, nothing more. -- — Azurfrog ^{[नीले मेंढक के साथ बात करना]} 23 mai 2015 à 12:20 (CEST)

Just an example : « Depuis le début du programme, Neuve n'a pas encore gagné tous les titres de l'Etat ou Runner Ups » is a blatant mistake, even apart from being difficult to understand: a proper translation of « Since the beginning of the program, Newfound has yet to win any state titles or Runner Ups » would be « Depuis le début du programme, Newfound n'a encore gagné aucun titre de l'État ni aucune place de second », which means quite the opposite... -- — Azurfrog ^{[नीले मेंढक के साथ बात करना]} 23 mai 2015 à 12:31 (CEST)

@Azurfrog, Would you be kind enough to change the translation? If not, I'll try to do it myself. Or if any other people who speaks and types fluent French can translate this page, as I'm not exactly French. Nick2crosby (discuter) 24 mai 2015 à 03:39 (CEST)

Well, I already corrected the translation of the existing French article, except for the gallery, which I'll probably leave to someone else. Anyway the English one is far too long (30,000 bytes) for me to embark on its full translation! Moreover, in a dire situation where we don't have enough people to translate here many featured English articles, I doubt you'll find anyone to translate this one, all the more as independant secondary sources are scarce. (Nevertheless, you can try your luck and ask here, at the "village pump".) However, I strongly advise you against translating the article if you don't feel quite up to it. -- — Azurfrog ^{[नीले मेंढक के साथ बात करना]} 24 mai 2015 à 10:15 (CEST)

Postscript: I kind of guessed you were "not exactly French" ... -- — Azurfrog ^{[नीले मेंढक के साथ बात करना]} 24 mai 2015 à 10:23 (CEST)
