How do I create an English wikinews article that is a translation of a different language wikinews article?

I have made an attempt at translating an Esperanto wikinews article to English, but I'm sure I have not formatted / credited it correctly.

Could someone help me get this right, and ideally point me at the instructions for doing it that I've been unable to find?

The article is here.

@Brad4dCSmith: {{Translated Wikinews}} is the template you want. The problem is that this happened on March 30, which is most definitely stale. Heavy Water (talk) 16:20, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.

I'll see if I can figure out how to use that template. Is there some way to search existing articles to discover examples of its use?

I'm not terribly surprised to hear that this article is considered too stale. I'm willing to delete it and just consider this a practice run.

On the other hand, though, why should the staleness criteria apply to translations? I searched for this topic in English Wikinews and could not find it. So users of English Wikinews just don't have access to this information. That doesn't seem like a good thing, does it?

Is there some way to search Wikinews across languages and leverage e.g. Google Translate to read what you find? Brad4dCSmith (talk) 16:36, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, see Category:Translated news. SVTCobra 16:38, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
