The Translation Studies MSc project 2020/2021 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 on 10th February 2021 and concluding on Friday 14th May 2021, 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:
Ewan McAndrew, Wikimedian in Residence at the University of Edinburgh
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 no later than 5pm on Friday 26th February 2021.
