Hans Ziegler ---- (more info)

Translation Status: Stage 1 : Request (How-to)
Comment: I started a translation into English, but my German is not very good, and I did not have time to translate the entire article, Plus it is possible I made some mistakes

Interest of the translation: Hans Ziegler was a famous German scientist who emigrated to USA in 1945 with Wernher von Braun and made very important contributions to the early space race versus the USSR. In particular he pioneered the practice of using solar power on spacecraft. He is an important historic figure in American history as well as German history, and his biography is very worthy of translation

Updating the information on the translation

The translation process normally involves the following stages: "Request," "In Progress," "Proofreaders Needed," and "Completed Translation."

It is, of course, possible to backtrack to the previous stage (if you have decided to not continue translating, for example). It is also possible to skip a stage, especially if you want to start translating an article you chose immediately; in this case, you would skip the request stage by not putting it on the page for the current month's requested translations.

To pass from one stage to another, you must:

modify the parameters of the progress made on this page, and
put the {{Wikipedia:Translation/Hans Ziegler}} banner, which will take care of all the rest, in the right place.

Note : if, in a particular situation, you think that the template takes too much place, you can use the following syntax instead :

{{Wikipedia:Translation/Hans Ziegler| Parameter = hide }}

The table below shows all the steps needed for each stage:

Stage	Parameters to modify	`{{Wikipedia:Translation/Hans Ziegler}}`
Stage 1: Translation Request	It starts at the creation of the page and involves the following parameters: {{Translation/Information\|language code\|original name of the article to be translated\|name of the translated article (in English)}} Interest Comment Requested By	Add to Wikipedia:Translation/*/Lang/de Add to the talk page Add to Translation Requests Option: Add to your user page
Stage 2: Translation in Progress	Stage ==> `2` Translator-s ==> `~~~` Proofreading_progress => `0` Permanent_link => `[URL ~~~~~]`^[1] Comment ==> you may post a new comment if you wish to do so	Add to the top of the article Add to In Progress Remove from Translation Requests Option: Add to your user page
Stage 3: Proofreaders Needed	Stage ==> `3` Translation_progress => `100` Comment ==> you may post a new comment if you wish to do so Each time someone volunteers to proofread, he/she must modify the following parameters: Proofreader-s ==> `~~~` Proofreading_progress ==> `XX` (percentage of proofreading done)	Add to Proofreaders Needed Remove from In Progress Optional: notify the appropriate WikiProject or regional notice board that you would like someone to proofread your work
Stage 4: Completed Translation	Stage ==> `4` Proofreading_progress ==> `100` Please add the following to the bottom of the article to follow GFDL norms: `{{Translation/Ref\|Language\|Source\|oldid=parameter of the permanent link}}` Example : `{{Translation/Ref\|fr\|Liberté\|oldid=12133757}}` The last template is to be used to mention the source of a translation from another Wikipedia (again, to respect GFDL norms):	Add to Completed Translations remove from Proofreaders Needed

^ Explanation : If the translation takes a while, the original article risks having changed quite a bit throughout, making the translation and eventual proofreading problematic.

You can avoid this problem thanks to the Permanent link function, which appears in the toolbox at the lower left of every page.
