Why Traduwiki?The idea came from a frustration, the frustration that many texts freely available on the Internet are accessible in only one language. Many of them are good, some of them are excellent, but their diffusion is limited either way.

The frustration bumps into another fact, that many of us can read a foreign language and translate some texts.

So, just like the peer-to-peer technology or the grid computing principles, the idea became this: a text could be sectioned into small pieces, users would take some of them to translate them in their spare time, and the interesting document will be quickly and correctly translated.

Everyone wins in this situation. Why not using automatic translators like BabelFish or Google Translate?If you have used them, you know they are good to give a general idea of a text but fail to provide an accurate translation.

Traduwiki bets on the human knowledge to reach a better quality. The success of Wikipedia and projects of "citizen journalism" showed that user contributions could be significant.

So what's a wiki translation?A wiki translation is a collaborative translation in which anyone, members or anonymous readers, could contribute to the content.
