Again, welcome!

You asked in the IRC help channel about translating :de:Elsa Gindler into English. I was rather slow due to real-life interference; I'm sorry. My advice would be to use the Article Wizard to create a draft on the English Wikipedia. Please note that the English Wikipedia and the German Wikipedia are independent sister projects whose policies and guidelines may differ. A straight translation may thus not be the best approach. In particular, it's my impression that the German Wikipedia puts less emphasis on inline citations than the English one; WP:Referencing for beginners explains how you can easily create nicely-formatted footnotes. Another issue to keep in mind is copyright: Wikipedia's license requires us to credit the original authors when we translate a page, with a link to the original. There's a handy template you can use to deal with that: Template:Translated page. The template page gives a piece of code you can copy-paste to the draft (or better yet, the draft's talk page) and fill out. Again welcome to Wikipedia, and happy editing!
