Welcome to the WikiProject Translation Studies.

Some Bharatpedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to translation studies. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Bharatpedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Bharatpedia:WikiProjects and Bharatpedia:WikiProject best practices.

Scope

The purpose of the Translation Studies project is a large-scale initiative that simplifies and standardizes pages for all about Translation studies, improves the information available for past events and works to provide better information for all future events. In addition, the project also improves and simplifies pages for general Translation studies.

General topics

• Translation theory and practice
• Translatology
• Computer-assisted translation
• Literary translation
• Language interpretation

Goals

To expand, improve, and spread knowledge about Translation Studies, raising awareness about the importance of this vital interdiscipline that has helped contact among cultures and peoples along the history of mankind.

Although it may be an autonomous field, this project also comprises computer-assisted translation, which has turned out to be an important tool for the tasks of translating and reviewing.

Core articles

Classification links

An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Banner Shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Translation studies}} project banner on their talk page will be added to the appropriate categories by quality.

The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article (see Bharatpedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):

FA (for featured articles only; adds articles to Category:FA-Class Translation studies articles)		FA
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class Translation studies articles)		GA
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Translation studies articles)		B
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class Translation studies articles)		C
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Translation studies articles)		Start
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Translation studies articles)		Stub

For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:

??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Translation studies articles)		???

An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WikiProject Translation studies}} project banner on its talk page:

{{WikiProject Translation studies|importance=???}}

The following values may be used for the importance parameter to describe the relative importance of the article within the project (see Bharatpedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Priority of topic for assessment criteria):

Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance Translation studies articles)		Top
High (adds articles to Category:High-importance Translation studies articles)		High
Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Translation studies articles)		Mid
Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance Translation studies articles)		Low
NA (adds articles to Category:NA-importance Translation studies articles)		NA
??? (articles for which a valid importance rating has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unknown-importance Translation studies articles)		???
