[Translators-l] 2012 Editor Survey is about to launch

The 2012 Editor Survey will start today on Wikipedia projects and Commons. Many people have already helped with providing and reviewing translations on Meta. But we can still use help for a last double-check of the translated questionnaires as they appear in the actual survey, to help ensure that survey participants won't encounter issues when taking the survey in their own language: Arabic: https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_elCCS27RBSOaJ25&RecipientLan… German: https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_elCCS27RBSOaJ25&RecipientLan… Spanish: https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_elCCS27RBSOaJ25&RecipientLan… French: https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_elCCS27RBSOaJ25&RecipientLan… Hebrew: https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_elCCS27RBSOaJ25&RecipientLan… Italian: https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_elCCS27RBSOaJ25&RecipientLan… Japanese: https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_elCCS27RBSOaJ25&RecipientLan… Dutch: https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_elCCS27RBSOaJ25&RecipientLan… Polish: https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_elCCS27RBSOaJ25&RecipientLan… (the Polish translation has not been fully reviewed yet and may launch somewhat later than the rest) Russian: https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_elCCS27RBSOaJ25&RecipientLan… Swedish: https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_elCCS27RBSOaJ25&RecipientLan… Ukrainian: https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_elCCS27RBSOaJ25&RecipientLan… Chinese (Simplified): https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_elCCS27RBSOaJ25&RecipientLan… Chinese (Traditional): https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_elCCS27RBSOaJ25&RecipientLan… English: https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_elCCS27RBSOaJ25&RecipientLan… We will monitor this thread throughout the survey for any issues that might come up. But in case there are translation errors that survived the review phase, feel free to correct them directly on Meta instead. The translations are listed at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_Editor_Survey_2012/Quest… . (For those not yet familiar with the Translate extension interface: Go to the translation that you want to correct, then click "translated version" on top. The downward arrow ("↓") links on the left allow to edit the corresponding translation unit.) Notes: * In this edition of the survey, the translations have been imported from Meta by bot, rather than manually, so we expect much fewer issues resulting from copy+paste errors. * The Portuguese version will launch a bit later. * The above links to qualtrics.com are just for testing, and survey responses entered after following them will be discarded in the evaluation of results. Of course you are welcome to participate as editor in the actual survey once it has launched. You should be shown a banner invitation when accessing Commons or one of the participating Wikipedias on the first time after the launch, when being logged in. -- Tilman Bayer Senior Operations Analyst (Movement Communications) Wikimedia Foundation IRC (Freenode): HaeB
