The Coronavirus in New York City: Translate-A-Thon - hosted by Sure We Can- will take place online on February 6th, 2021 starting at 11am EST and focusing on the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. We are focusing on translating Coronavirus related articles to the many languages spoken in NYC.
Sure We Can is a recycling and community center in Bushwick, Brooklyn, NYC with a mission focused on environmental justice. The edit-a-thon is part of Sure We Can's work with NYC Health + Hospitals to stop the spread of Covid-19. This is the 3rd Covid-focused Edit-a-thon that Sure We Can has hosted. Click here to see our last two COVID-19 focused edit-a-thons: Sept 6th, 2020 & Nov 21, 2020. We hope to continue the momentum from November's event where we translated the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City into Yoruba, Malagasy, Hebrew, Swahili, and Tagalog. We also created drafts in the Hindi, Chinese, and French languages, two of which are now published. For Saturday, February 6th, we hope to publish translated articles in the following languages: Korean, Yiddish, Russian, Japanese, Portuguese, Polish, Greek, and Haitian Creole.
Please join us, all skill levels welcome!
