Tools to help translate wiki content

  • Multilingual Media Wiki
    • MW extension that allows a same MW database to contain different language versions of a same page, and have them be aware of each other.
  • Machine translation services
    • BabelFish, Google Translation

Cool ideas

  • Use parallel pages in MW to improve machine translation algorithms.

Using wiki resources to help translating non-wiki content
