Research into translation imbalances
=====
A short round of initial investigation by Jan Dittrich and myself
has revealed a strong pattern in how Content Translation is used:
comparing the number of articles being translated from Wikipedia
languages with more editors and articles into languages with fewer
articles, we’ve found an imbalance as large as 100:1 in favor of
translations from the larger to the smaller language.
There is much to be done to understand the source of this
imbalance, whether it’s desirable, and whether we can design an
intervention which leads to a more balanced exchange between
languages.
We kindly invite Outreachy applicants to consider helping us with
this project, and we will co-create a flexible mentoring
opportunity in whichever of these fields is most interesting to you:
*
User experience research
*
Programming
*
Data analysis
Please see the longer version of this proposal for more details
and to find “microtasks” for getting started,
