Hello James,
Interesting, what extra tools you have there.
Andreas, in theory Simple English Wikipedia would be great as an
international platform for the dissemination of articles. But in
reality I have the impression that the content of S.E.WP is very
uneven, the quality is very diverse.
Galder, nice to hear of these initiatives and what is all possible in
a joint action.
Kind regards
Ziko

around. Our issue appears to relate to <ref name=ABC/> and the same reference being
used multiple times. What we do is we simply expand all the metadata for each instance of
the reference before feeding the text into CTX. And then we have a bot that shortens all
the instances of a reference back to one.

and use language that is easier to understand, but not be forced to use language as easy
as Simple English. It has also allowed us to automatically generate a leaderboard to track
progress and impact of our translation efforts. Additionally we only encourage people to
translate the leads as that is only that has been medically checked for accuracy.
