We currently are deciding which articles are to be translated, i.e. which articles that are the most important ones. Please chip in with your thoughts either directly by adding articles to the list or by posting to the talk page. If you are interested in translating an article please sign up. If you are interested in improving articles prior to translation please contact simply create a Wikipedia account and start editing – help can be found at: Writing for translations.
The process involves:
- Bringing the core topics up to Good Article (GA) or Featured Article (FA) status by updating the pages on the English Wikipedia using secondary sources.
- Translating into as many other languages as possible (carried out by independent Wikipedians, but we will look into if Translators without borders are willing to help).
- Adding the translated articles to the appropriate language of Wikipedia (carried out by Wikipedians in those languages → currently recruiting)
Bringing topics up to GA or FA status edit
All full articles must reach WP:GA or WP:FA status before they are translated. To get the biggest benefit out of the efforts of those doing translation we need the starting text to be excellent. And for specific advice that helps with translation see – Writing For Translation.
Translating the articles to as many other languages as possible edit
The translation will take place from the English edition of the articles.
Adding articles back into the appropriate language of Wikipedia edit
Ideally this will be taken care of by local Wikipedians. In some languages it has been difficult to recruit and thus is being done by none native speakers.
