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.
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.

Bình Long is a town of Bình Phước Province in the Southeast region of Vietnam. As of 2009, the district had a population of 57,590 and an area of 126 km2. The district capital lies at An Lộc ward.[1]
The town's former name is An Lộc. It is located approximately 90 km north of Ho Chi Minh City with a population of 8,599 (2009). An Lộc was formerly part of Bình Long Province before the merger with Phước Long Province to form Bình Phước Province. It became famous during the Vietnam War for being the location of a major battle in 1972. Today Bình Long has a mass grave memorial with 3,000 bodies.[2]
An Lộc is mentioned in the epilogue of American Graffiti, which states that "Terry 'Toad' Fields was reported missing in action near An Lộc in December 1965." This is later expanded upon in the sequel, More American Graffiti.
An Lộc is also mentioned in Good Morning, Vietnam, as Sgt Major Dickerson requests activity on the road to An Lộc for the trip that Adrian Cronauer (Robin Williams) and Edward Garlick (Forest Whitaker) are taking to supposedly "interview" troops in the field.
Ba-Nee, one of the Starlight Girls in Jem, is said to have been born in An Lộc.
