Hi,
If you are planning to introduce wiki editing to your students by
translating articles, I suggest you to try out the content translation
tool.
See
.
It provides an easy interface for translations. The users need not bother
about the wiki text formatting, rather can concentrate on the content and
the language.
Regards
Kavya Manohar

Hello,
I am a teaching assistant in ONLINE_A, e-learning English course at
Masaryk University, Czech Republic. This course is structured around
students completing various English practice tasks and in that way gaining
points towards credit. I came up with the idea to make writing a Wikipedia
article one of those tasks. The course is relatively large, but since this
is going to be one of the more difficult tasks available and only the more
advanced students can actually do it, I assume there would be only about 6
to 12 students every semester doing this task. I would not be able to coach
more of them anyways. The students are unlikely to have previous editor
experience on WIkipedia. To accommodate for that, I plan to have them
translate an article from Czech to English Wikipedia and instruct them to
refer to an existing similar article on English Wikipedia to get a feel for
what they need to create.
Example: Translate
https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michal_Tu%C4%8Dn%C3%BD
as
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michal_Tu%C4%8Dn%C3%BD referring to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_Rogers as a source of inspiration.
I am looking for an existing Wikimedia Education initiative under which
this initiative of my could be put into practice. I found "Studenti píší
Wikipedii" at
https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Countries/Czech_Republic.
Is it the correct bunch of people to turn to, given that I target WIkipedia
in English, not the Czech one?
