This is an invitation to join wiki-translation:
www.wiki-translation.com
This is a community dedicated to discussing the impact of the wiki phenomenon on the world of translation. This is a place for people who are interested in translation using a massively collaborative wiki paradigm, where they can exchange best practices and tools, and discuss how to improve them.
The following is a sample of topics which are deemed relevant:
- Practices and tools for translating any wiki content, including but not limited to Wikipedia pages.
- Practices and tools for translating any content (wiki or not) which is open, constantly evolving and may never reach a final stable state.
- Practices and tools for translating any content using a wiki-like process. By that, we mean a process that presents many of the characteristics of wikis like: open, massively collaborative, asynchronous, loosely coordinated and controlled, volunteer-based, etc....
- Practices and tools for creating and using wiki-like dictionaries and resources (ex: Wikipedia, Wiktionary, OmegaWiki) for the purpose of translating any content (wiki or not).
- Research and development to make any of the above easier and more efficient.
