<big><big>'''Spotlight - Simplified article translation'''</big></big>
----
Wikiproject Medicine started translating simplified articles in February 2014. We now have 45 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Translation task force/RTT(Simplified)|simplified articles]] ready for translation, of which the first on [[African trypanosomiasis]] or ''sleeping sickness'' has been translated into 46 out of ~100 languages. This list does not include the 33 additional articles that are available in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/Translation_task_force/RTT|both full and simple versions]].

Our goal is to eventually translate '''1,000''' simplified articles. This includes:
*WHO's list of [[WHO Model List of Essential Medicines|Essential Medicines]][http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/10665/93142/1/EML_18_eng.pdf?ua=1]
*[[Neglected tropical diseases]][http://www.who.int/neglected_diseases/diseases/en/]
*Key diseases for medical subspecialties like: [[oncology]], [[emergency medicine]] (''[[Book:Emergency medicine|list]]''), [[anatomy]], [[internal medicine]], [[surgery]], etc.

We are looking for subject area leads to both create articles and recruit further editors. We need people with basic medical knowledge who are willing to help out. This includes to write, translate and especially '''integrate''' medical articles.

[[File:CFCF, Wikipedian.jpg|right|160px|thumb|[[User:CFCF|CFCF]] - "IEG beneficiary" and editor of this newsletter.]]
I've (''{{U|CFCF}}'') taken on the role of ''community organizer'' for this project, and will be working with this until December. The goals and timeline can be found ''[[:meta:Grants:IEG/Medicine Translation Project Community Organizing|here]]'', and are focused on getting the project on a firm footing and to enable me to work near full-time over the summer, and part-time during the rest of the year. This means I will be available for questions and ideas, and you can best reach me by ''[[Special:EmailUser/CFCF|mail]]'' or on my ''[[User talk:CFCF|talk page]]''.

;Wikimania 2014
For those going to London in a month's time (or those already nearby) there will be at least one event for all medical editors, on Thursday August 7th.  See [https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pre-Conference:_Medical_Wikipedians the event page], which also summarizes medicine-related presentations in the main conference.  Please pass the word on to your local medical editors. 

;Integration progress
There has previously been some resistance against translation into certain languages with strong Wikipedia presence, such as [[dutch language|Dutch]], [[polish language|Polish]], and [[Swedish language|Swedish]]. <br>What was found is that thre is hardly any negative opinion about the the project itself; and any such critique has focused on the ways that articles have being integrated. For an article to be usefully translated into a target-Wiki it needs to be properly Wiki-linked, carry proper citations and use the formatting of the chosen target language as well as being properly proof-read. Certain large Wikis such as the Polish and Dutch Wikis have strong traditions of medical content, with their own editorial system, own templates and different ideas about what constitutes a good medical article. For example, there are not [[:en:WP:MEDRS|MEDRS]] ([[:pl:Wikipedia:Wiarygodne źródła (artykuły o tematyce medycznej)|''Polish'']],[[:de:Wikipedia:Redaktion Medizin/Leitlinien|''German'']],[[:ro:Wikipedia:Surse de încredere (medicină)|''Romanian'']],[[:fa:ویکی‌پدیا:شناخت_منابع_معتبر_(پزشکی)|''Persian'']]) guidelines present on other Wikis, and some Wikis have a stronger background of country-specific content.

*Swedish<br>Translation into Swedish has been difficult in part because of the amount of free, high quality sources out there already: [https://www.1177.se/ patient info], [http://www.internetmedicin.se/ for professionals]. The same can be said for English, but has really given us all the more reason to try and create an unbiased and free encyclopedia of medical content. We want Wikipedia to act as an alternative to commercial sources, and preferably a really good one at that.<br>Through extensive collaborative work and by respecting links and Sweden specific content the last unintegrated Swedish translation went live in May.
*Dutch<br>Dutch translation carries with it special difficulties, in part due to the premises in which the Dutch Wikipedia is built upon. There is great respect for what previous editors have created, and deleting or replacing old content can be frowned upon. In spite of this there are success stories: ''[[:nl:Anafylaxie|Anafylaxie]]''.
*Polish<br>Translation and integration into Polish also comes with its own unique set of challenges. The Polish Wikipedia has long been independent and works very hard to create high quality contentfor Polish audience. Previous translation trouble has lead to use of unique templates with unique formatting, not least among citations. Add to this that the Polish Wikipedia does not allow template redirects and a large body of work is required for each article.<br> (''This is somewhat alleviated by a commissioned [https://sourceforge.net/projects/pltemptrans/ Template bot] - to be released''). - ''[[:pl:Wikiprojekt:Tłumaczenie artykułów/Medycyna|List of articles for integration]]''
*Arabic<br>The Arabic Wikipedia community has been informed of the efforts to integrate content through both the general talk-page as well as through one of the major Arabic Wikipedia facebook-groups: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/213774545487276/ مجتمع ويكيبيديا العربي], something that has been heralded with great enthusiasm.

;Integration guides
Integration is the next step after any translation. Despite this it is by no means trivial, and it comes with its own hardships and challenges. Previously each new integrator has needed to dive into the fray with little help from previous integrations. Therefore we are creating guides for specific Wikis that make integration simple and straightforward, with guides for specific languages, and for integrating on small Wikis.

Instructions on how to integrate an article may be found here [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/Translation_task_force/Adding_content]
