We are a working group that wants to build tools to make translations of scientific articles/reports/books, abstracts, titles and terms more accessible and (thus) stimulate the production of such translations.
In our Wiki you can find information on finding translations. https://wiki.translatescience.org

#introduction I'm a professional translator at the Institute for scientific and technical information of French CNRS. My interests are translation and multilingualism of scholarly communication in OS context, NLP (esp. NMT) as translation and writing assistive technologies, and linguistic and subject-oriented collaboration in producing scholarly content. Also curious ab't terminology extraction and phraseology checks through using concordancing. Looking forward to have fun sharing w/ this group

It's really great to see how the #openaccess book series TMNLP (Translation and multilingual natural language processing, https://langsci-press.org/catalog/series/tmnlp) @ Language Science Press, edited by three colleagues and myself is progressing, and the "MNLP" part which admittedly lagged behind a bit initially is now also strengthened. Full steam ahead! #TranslationStudies

@OpenScienceFeed Translate Science will also be at Wikimania. We would like to talk to everyone which articles need translation the most. How do we set priorities?
This off-program Networking session will follow the Language Diversity Hub session August 13, 18:20-18:45 UTC.
Registration for Wikimania is open. Once there, go to the Networking section and join the Translate Science group. https://wikimania.wikimedia.org
Also if you cannot make it, do leave your thoughts here. https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/TranslateScienceWhichScience

"What’s needed is [...] regulation, empowerment of ordinary people and empowerment of workers." (@emilymbender@twitter.com
2022, https://medium.com/@emilymenonbender/on-nyt-magazine-on-ai-resist-the-urge-to-be-impressed-3d92fd9a0edd)
Well, this fine #openaccess book (https://langsci-press.org/catalog/book/342) edited by @DorothyKenny18@twitter.com talks about it all: #machinetranslation literacy for multilingual citizens and professional translators, how to work your way through with the aid of #machinetranslation and the many ethical implications the technology comes with. (1/2)
Our blog post encouraging researchers to make translations and journals to publish them is now available in German, French, Indonesian and English.

Gotta love #MachineTranslation.
#Deepl translates the German sentence: "Dieser Artikel ist auch in einer französischen Fassung verfügbar." (This article is available in French)
to the French sentence: "Cet article est également disponible en version allemande." (This article is also available in German.)
It does have a nice symmetry. 🤡
To be fair, the first alternative translation is "Cet article est également disponible en version française."

#kurzgesagt - the last human
Be optimistic. We may not be living in the end times and all great things may not have already been done, but we may actually be living at the very beginning of human history and our actions now have the potential to steer history for all the many future people.
My (@VictorVenema) absolute favorite #science channel goes multi-lingual. Beautifully animated, capturing stories, well researched, original and optimistic about the future.

Scholarly Language Diversity. The percentage non-English articles in the CrossRef DOI database is growing and these journals are more bibliographically diverse. Following English are German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Indonesian.

We would like to see more translations of scholarly articles, as the name of our group suggests.
One way to stimulate their production is to bring them inside the scientific reward system. We thus propose to publish translations in scholarly journals and call on editors to publish such translations and make this clear in the instructions for authors.
The call in English: https://blog.translatescience.org/translated-articles-are-research-output/

CrossRef splits information on author names in four parts, which I have to combine (in code) into a reference.
Family Name
Given Name
Prefix
Suffix
I have never seen it in the wild, but what do you do if you have both a prefix and a suffix? (If you code, you have to cover all bases.)
Would an article of Alice von Schonburg Sr. be written in a reference list as:
Schonburg, Alice, von, Sr. (2022). Title. Journal.
or
Schonburg, Alice, Sr., von
or
Schonburg, von, Alice, Sr.

@noyovo just added many multilingual scientific dictionaries to our Wiki.
https://wiki.translatescience.org/wiki/Translation_tools#Multilingual_dictionaries
Thank you. 🤓
If you know more dictionaries do let us know. (If you know many or would like to edit the Wiki yourself, do let me know and I will enable creating accounts; Spam is why we cannot have nice things on the internet.)
My final analysis of the translated scientific articles in the DOI (CrossRef) database. https://wiki.translatescience.org/wiki/Translated_articles_in_the_CrossRef_database
(Except if you have questions.)
CrossRef currently knows 4142 translations & 2152 works that have a translation. Only info starting 2008. Many publishers will have a back catalogue of translations.
Many translations do not have a DOI, the database points to a URL. Only in 16% of cases with DOI do we have information on the language of both the original and the translation.
