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 Misplaced Pages.
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.

The Burmese Encyclopedia (Burmese: မြန်မာ့ စွယ်စုံကျမ်း) is an encyclopedia published by the Burma Translation Society under the direction of former Burmese Prime MinisterU Nu. The project began in 1947, and the first volume was later published via Stephen Austin & Sons Ltd, Hertford, Great Britain. Each of the fifteen volumes has approximately 500 pages. The last volume of the first edition was published in 1976, and was followed by yearly updates.
After the 1962 military coup of General Ne Win, the editing and publication of the Encyclopedia came to a halt. Yearly one additional cyclopedia book was published by the Burma Translation Society. After 1988 and another military coup, the country became poorer and unable to publish the Burmese Encyclopedia.
The online Burmese Misplaced Pages contains content that is mostly re-type from the original Burmese Encyclopedia.
