The Translation Studies MSc project 2017/2018 in a nutshell:
|
Have you ever wondered why the information in Wikipedia is extensive for some topics and scarce for others? Particularly in different language Wikipedias? Commencing in February 2018, the University's Information Services team will run a Wikipedia translate-a-thon.
We will provide training on how to edit and participate in an open knowledge community. Participants will be supported to translate articles.
(Video) Introduction to the Content Translation tool (1 minute).
The main policies and guidelines can be found at the following pages:

Please put your Wikipedia username in the space below:
Finally, Wikipedia articles each have a sidebar listing its counterparts in other languages, so the last thing you should do is to make sure this includes links to and from the new translated material. A guide on this can be found at Help:Interlanguage links.
Articles to be settled on by 5pm on Friday 2nd February 2018.

Once you've learned the basics of editing using Wikipedia’s Visual Editor, I hope that you'll stay logged in and edit or create more articles. I've added some booklets and some links below that you may find useful. As a first step you may like to check out what What Wikipedia is not along with its 5 guiding principles: The 5 pillars.
