Translating science

Translate Science blog.
Many moons ago I was involved in LinuxFocus (Wikipedia entry), and Open Access magazine around the Linux operating system. Over a few years I translated articles and wrote a few articles that themselves got translated into other languages, including the main supported languages English, Chinese, Arabic, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Korean, Portugues, Polish, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish. Some scientific journals do this kind of translation too, like Angewandte Chemie.

At WikidataCon I learned about a new effort to Translate Science (see screenshot on the right).

I am going to explore this and intend to contribute to it. But that may take a bit of time, and did want to share this project, because we need more of this.

  1. We should at least get your translated articles into the system once it is running. Progress is slow, it it all volunteer work at this time, but it won't be that long anymore we could do that. Probably this year. Do remind me if I forget.
