About this Event
World in Translation: beyond English Wikipedia
This November University of Leeds Libraries, in partnership with Leeds City of Languages and the Knowledge Equity Network, invites you to join an in-person event to translate Wikipedia!
Did you know there are Wikipedias in over 300 different languages, each with its own dedicated community? English Wikipedia is by far the biggest with more than 7 million articles and 112,000 active users, while other European languages near the top of the table include German, French, Spanish and Italian. At the other end of the wiki spectrum are smaller Wikipedias in all manner of languages from Africa, India and the Global South: Igbo from Nigeria, Twi from Ghana, Gujarati and Samoan, to mention just a few.
So, if you are a native speaker in any language other than English, please come along and help us translate Wikipedia!
Non-university participants are welcome.
Pre-registration is necessary.
