Wikipedia is not just in English. Versions exist in many different languages. To fill in some of the English Wikipedia's gaps, we '''[[Wikipedia:Translation|translate articles from other languages into English]]'''. You can view a [[Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English|list of articles that need translation]] from any language, or, in a few cases, by only one language (this is only available for the more popular languages).
