How can I delete Content translation because I don't need it. I have not enabled it as a beta feature in the preferences, but every time I start a new article it comes to disturb me. Clicking the No thanks does not help, it comes again next time I open Wikipedia and start writing.

In the translation tool, go to the list of translations. On the entry, click the … in the right upper corner of the article item and click the trashcan.

Sure, the trashcan will not be emptied. If You want to restart the translation not on the former article, have a new copy of the article in Your user name space the source for the new translation. When other editors contributed to the first article, have an administrator import the history of the article.

I don't understand. I want to write a new article for example about Anne Koikkalainen (fictional Finnish name in this case), but the Content translation comes to disturb my work. There is no article about her in English. In any case if there were, I don't want to translate it, because I think I make it better by myself. I want that Content translation deleted altogether and never come back again. I want to click it away.

If the English article already exists, just edit it. If it does not exist, create it from Scratch. See how to create articles. You can create a language version from scratch or in the English Wikipedia project search for the exact Name, correctly written in upper and lower case letters to give the exact article name. As there is no exact match, it is offered to create the article. The way forcing to creating a new article is: Choose any existing article. In the URL line of the browser, replace the article name, also replace each space by and an underscore.

Example: creating the English article of Anne Koikkalainen:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Koikkalainen

Instead of "edit" and "revision history", there's a "create" button. Also in the message is a link "Start the Anne Koikkalainen article". Both ways take You to Rome.

Is this the way to Rome? This way, anyway if left or right: <Rome] [Rome>

But, when the article is created, have it linked to other articles and have other articles that mention the person Anne Koikkalainen, actively linking to the article Anne Koikkalainen by adding the link. The translation tool would automatic link to other languages of the article. In the left border of the page, manually link to the existing Finish language article of Anne Koikkalainen. All other languages should appear when the article exists in any of those languages.

I know how to start an article. As I told you earlier the problem is that this beta feature Content translation box comes to disturbe me and I can not see the first rows in the editing box when I press the Show preview. Did you get it now?

Enter the translation tool. In the list of translations, move the mouse on the entry of the translation to be deleted. In the right upper corner of the entry, a … appear. Click and choose "delete".

When still unclear, please have me a screenshot.
