E-translating Project

This page serves as central coordination project page for an English-Arabic translation project, headed by Dr Khaled Al-Shehari at Durham University. For further details on the project, please visit the Arabic version of this page.

Participating students at the MA in Arabic-English Translation and Interpreting course translate selected Wikipedia articles from English into Arabic and a project team is ready to assess and facilitate their progress as well as the conformity of their activities with the relevant English and Arabic Wikipedia guidelines. Wikipedia pages to be translated are pre-assessed by Dr Al-Shehari and other colleagues.

The translations will be drafted in sub-pages of the Arabic user page of the course. Then they will be checked twice (by the translation teams and the project team) regarding the translation itself as well as WP-guidelines and transferred to the main space, if the draft fulfills all relevant aspects.

If you are uncertain how to deal with your concrete case of copyright, please feel free to reach out to the project team first to confirm that you are in accordance with Wikipedia's licensing.
