Same case as Special:Contributions/2604:3D08:9476:BE00:D893:23D3:605:80B8. Similar reports can be found at wikispecies:Wikispecies:Administrators'_Noticeboard#Please_delete..., outreach:Wikimedia:Village_pump#xwiki_translation_issues_by_Special:Contributions/2604:3D08:9476:BE00:D893:23D3:605:80B8.

Basically, from what I can see, appallingly bad translations. Possibly well-intentioned, so I will warn for now, but if they continue then this is unacceptable. - Jmabel ! talk 05:23, 23 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  Done. One month block. You can nominate bad translations for regular or even speedy deletion. I shall not do it myself, because I'm not a native speaker. Taivo (talk) 10:24, 23 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
