Teaching translation through editing Wikipedia
Earlier this term UCL Centre for Translation Studies (CenTraS) held an event to learn how to contribute to Wikipedia, the encyclopedia anyone can edit. These kinds of events are known as ‘editathons’ – this one was called a ‘translatathon’ because it involved 36 postgraduate translation studies students, all new to editing Wikipedia, translating English women’s health articles into several different target languages. The event was jointly organised by CenTraS’ Rocío Baños Piñero, Wikimedia Gender Gap Project Worker Roberta Wedge, and UCL's E-Learning Environment.More information can be found through the following blog post.
