Wikipedia:WikiProject Writing/Translation task force

The goal of the Translation Taskforce is to improve knowledge equity across rhetoric and composition articles within writing studies across language Wikipedias. We identified topics and authors that can be added or expanded upon in English, Arabic, German, and Russian Wikipedia. All bilingual and multilingual composition and rhetoric scholars and other Wikipedia editors can collaborate on our project and help contribute to the Wiki world. Some resources that these individuals can refer to are the Wikiproject Writing resources page, policies and guidelines page, beginner's guide to Wikipedia page, and how to create a page.

To begin translating use the Wikipedia:Content Translation Tool. Watch this video for a step-by-step instructions.

Remember that different Wikipedias have specific language cultures. So before you start, make sure you learn the community guidelines for any language you start editing in. This page has tips and guidelines for Arabic, German, and Russian.

Below is a list of articles in need of translation, but you can also find articles that need translating by going to a page you are interested in and checking to see if the desired language is linked under the "Languages" section found in the left-hand column.

If you are a scholar, an editor or someone who adores languages, translations, rhetoric and composition, you will discover a lot of interesting things about Wikipedia. You can contribute even if you have very limited experience with Wikipedia by learning from our mentors and project participants. You can attend monthly Wikipedia online streaming twitches where you can learn how to create articles, make edits, move your article to the mainspace, or contribute to existing articles.

How to find the language you are looking for

Please scroll the page down and on the left side bar of the page you will see the list of languages (this is the last section on the left of the page). You can find the languages there, however, if the article has not been translated into the language you are looking for, you can create this page.
