Can you help verify translations of articles from Russian
editHello,
Would you be able to help evaluate the accuracy of translations of Wikipedia articles from Russian to English Wikipedia?
This would involve evaluating a translated article on English Wikipedia by comparing it to the original Russian article, and marking it "Pass" or "Fail" based on whether the translation is factually correct. Here's the reason for this request:
There are a number of articles on English Wikipedia that were created as machine translations from different languages including Russian, using the Content Translation tool, sometimes by users with no knowledge of the source language. The config problem that allowed this to happen has since been fixed, but this has left us with a backlog of articles whose accuracy of translation is suspect or unknown, including some articles translated from Russian. In many cases, other editors have come forward later to copyedit and fix any English grammar or style issues, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the translation is accurate, as factual errors from the original translation may remain. To put it another way: Good English is not the same as good translation.
If you can help out, that would be great. Here's a sample from the articles that need checking:
All you have to do, is compare the English article to the Russian article, and mark it "okay" or "bad". (Naturally, if you feel like fixing an inaccurate translation and then marking it "okay", that's even better, but it isn't required.)
If you can help, please let me know. Thanks!
