This is a brilliant idea. I believe the content translation tool would be extremely useful for this.[1]

In about a week, we will launch a friendly "translate-a-thon" effort on 16 biographies of African women so that they get translated in "as many languages as possible" (at least 16).
In the meanwhile, we need your help to "improve/polish" the ENGLISH Wikipedia version of the biographies selected (as it is likely to be the "master" of most translations). #16wikiwomen
Please join and help us to do that : https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/16_African_Women_Translate-a-thon#Our_list_o...
The complete list includes
* Malouma, Mauritanian singer, songwriter and politician * Nozizwe Madlala-Routledge, politician, South Africa * Cri-Zelda Brits, South African crickete * Manal al-Sharif, Saudi women's rights activist * Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, Nigerian women's rights activist * Flora Nwapa, Nigerian Igbo writer * Samia Yusuf Omar, Sprinter from Somalia * Maggie Laubser, South African painter * Fatima Massaquoi, Pioneer educator in Liberia * Frances Ames, South African neurologist, psychiatrist, and human rights activist * Asmaa Mahfouz, Egyptian activist * Yaa Asantewaa, Ghana, former Queen Mother * Fatou Bensouda, Gambian lawyer * Martha Karua, Kenyan politician * Chinwendu Ihezuo, Nigerian professional footballer * Nassima Saifi, Paralympian athlete from Algeria
Please defend the colors of your nation if one biography is about someone from your country !
For those bilingual French/English, please help improve the English version of * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nozizwe_Madlala-Routledge using the French version
For those bilingual Arabic/English, please help improve the English version of * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manal_al-Sharif * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asmaa_Mahfouz using the Arabic version
Thanks !
Florence
