- 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 1,857 articles in the main category, and specifying

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

The Imperial Register (German: Reichsmatrikel, Dutch: rijksmatrikel[1]) was a list of the Imperial Estates of the Holy Roman Empire that specified the precise numbers of troops they had to supply to the Army of the Holy Roman Empire and/or the financial support they had to make available to sustain the Army. An entry in the register was often viewed as an important indicator of the imperial immediacy of an imperial estate, although that was not always undisputed. The importance of the register for historical research lies in the fact that all Estates were recorded in it. However, it also contains obvious errors.
The term Matrikel is derived from the Latin word mātrīcula, a diminutive of mātrīx ("list", "register").[2]
