Translate Wikipedia articles from one language to another to help more people learn.

Step 1: Find a Wikipedia article to translate

Remember, you don't have to translate the whole article! Translating even a paragraph or two makes knowledge freely available where there was none in these languages before! Note that not all articles are of equal quality and that some may need improvement in English before translation.

The grid below contains a table of B-Class acoustics articles recommended for translation (auto-gen list) and whether they exist in the 20 most spoken languages. Mouse-over the language codes at the top of the table to see the full names of the languages:
