Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Consider adding a topic to this template: there are already 9,743 articles in the main category, and specifying|topic= will aid in categorization.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.
You must provide copyright attribution in the edit summary accompanying your translation by providing an interlanguage link to the source of your translation. A model attribution edit summary is Content in this edit is translated from the existing German Wikipedia article at [[:de:seitenabruf]]; see its history for attribution.
You should also add the template {{Translated|de|seitenabruf}} to the talk page.

In contrast, a hit refers to a request for any <a href="/en/Computer_file" title="Computer file" class="wl">file</a> from a <a href="/en/Web_server" title="Web server" class="wl">web server</a>.

<a href="/en/Video" title="Video" class="wl">videos</a>, <a href="/en/JavaScript" title="JavaScript" class="wl">JavaScripts</a>, <a href="/en/CSS" title="CSS" class="wl">cascading style sheets</a> (CSS), etc.<a href="#cite_note-2" style="counter-reset: mw-Ref 2;">[2]</a>
