*   * 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 338 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 Chinese Wikipedia article at [[:zh:自由時報]]; see its history for attribution.`
* You should also add the template `{{Translated|zh|自由時報}}` to the talk page.

The Liberty Times is a national newspaper published in Taiwan. Founded by Lin Rong-San, it is published by the Liberty Times Group, which also publishes Taipei Times, an English language newspaper. The newspaper was first published on 17 April 1980, as Liberty Daily, before adopting its current name in 1987.

It is one of the four most influential newspapers in Taiwan, the other three being the Apple Daily, the China Times, and the United Daily News.[1] While the United Daily News is regarded as taking an editorial line that supports a Pan-Blue political stance, the Liberty Times is thought to take a Pan-Green pro-independence political stance.[2]
