History: Processes and tools for massively collaborative translation

Source of version: 17

!!What processes and tools are needed to translate content that is constantly being edited collaboratively by a large community of anonymous authors?

Please tell us what you think about that below.

----

For a detailed analysis of the issues, see this paper:

   http://iit-iti.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/publications/nrc-48736_e.html

----

Note that a bunch of people in this community are working on adding features to wiki engines in order to support that sort of thing. 

See: ((Cross Lingual Wiki Engine Project)).

In fact, the wiki-translation site you are reading will probably be used as a first pilot site for those kinds of features.

For a demo of what a cross lingual wiki engine might feel like, see the following demo:

* {file name="demo_of_multilingual_LizzyWiki_features2.mov" page="Processes and tools for massively collaborative translation" desc="Demo of collaborative translation management features in LizzyWiki"}

Examples of sites that face this sort of issue and use this sort of process:

Wikipedia:
* Has a translation project.
* http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Translation

TraduWiki:
* A site where people can post public documents that they wish to see translated collaboratively in different languages.
* http://traduwiki.org/

Global Voices
* Translates interesting blogs in different languages. Not terribly collaborative, but...
* http://www.globalvoicesonline.org/

DotSub:
* Collaborative multilngual subtitling of videos.
