Dear Translators,
My name is Edward Galvez and I work at the Wikimedia
Foundation, supporting surveys for the movement. The
Foundation will be running a rather large survey in early
January called Community Engagement Insights. In order for it
to be easily accessible to as many editors as possible in the
entire Wikimedia movement we need help to translate the
survey into as many languages as we can.
The purpose of the survey is to know how well we are
supporting the work of Wikimedians and how we can change or
improve things in the future. The opinions that are shared
through the survey will directly affect the current and
future work of the Wikimedia Foundation. You can find more
information about the survey on meta.[1]
We need some help translating the survey from English into
the following 10 key languages: Arabic, French, German,
Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese,
Spanish and Russian. Translations in additional languages as
also welcome, as long as the survey can be fully translated
in those languages.
We will be using a Google spreadsheet to perform the
translations. This is a logistical decision, as moving
translations from Meta-wiki to Qualtrics (the platform of
choice to hold the survey) is very complicated.
I know that it is customary to perform outreach through the
community on Meta when it comes to translations, however,
given the size and possible impact of the survey, I am trying
to minimize pre-exposure of the questions to avoid survey
bias. For that reason, I’m directly reaching out to WMF
staff, affiliates and highly trusted community members like
you instead.
Keep in mind that you don’t have to carry all the burden of
the translation alone should you decide to help; this can be
spread among several translators working together on the same
language. We may also hold online sessions where groups can
translate together (I will be helping to translate in Spanish
and Portuguese). If you’re willing to assist, I would kindly
ask for your help in obtaining the best data we can by not
sharing with other users any of the questions on the survey,
unless with another trusted community member willing to
co-translate with you.
If you are interested in helping and have some free time over
the next two weeks, please respond to me directly to let me
know which language you can help translate and I will follow
up with more information. Our deadline for the translations
to be completed is December 9th.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Thank you everyone!
Edward
