- @KEmel49 You can use non-english language sources, though it can be helpful to provide translations in the footnotes. And if you can find English language sources to supplement that will help. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 21:41, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

{{cite web}}template's language parameter.i was thinking about that but the problem is that the source will still remains as it is
--kemel49(connect)(contri) 21:45, 21 June 2024 (UTC)- @KEmel49 Yeah thats fine. What I meant was you can use the quote parameter to provide a translated quote from the source. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 21:50, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
