Wikipedia:School and university projects/University of Durham FR EN Translation



This page serves as central coordination project page for a French-English translation project, headed by Dr Simon McKinnon at Durham University.

Participating students on the MA in Translation Studies (Specialist Translation French <> English) translate selected Wikipedia articles from French into English 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 French Wikipedia guidelines. Wikipedia pages to be translated are pre-assessed by Simon McKinnon and other colleagues.

The translations will be drafted in sub-pages of the English 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.
