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
