Part 1 Understanding your work[edit]
1. Briefly describe how your proposed activities and strategies were implemented
We hired a programmer to develop our translation dashboard and related tools. We reached out to organizations involved in volunteer translation.
2. Were there any strategies or approaches that you felt were effective in achieving your goals? Please describe these strategies and approaches.
Having a paid programmer was key to the success of this effort.
3. Please use this space to upload media and other files that help tell your story and impact.
4. To what extent do you agree with the following statements regarding the work carried out with the support of this Fund? You can choose “not applicable” if your work does not relate to these goals.
| A. Bring in participants from underrepresented groups | Much of our work was carried out in under represented languages including Odia, South Azerbaijani and Malay. |
| B. Create a more inclusive and connected culture in our community | The efforts built up collaboration between Wiki Med and 32 language versions of Wikipedia |
| C. Develop content about underrepresented topics/groups | We worked on healthcare content which is poorly available in most languages other than English |
| D. Develop content from underrepresented perspectives | We concentrated on Women's health topics and part of our work was adjusting the dashboard to help us have specific campaigns on topics. This functionality is now working well. |
| E. Encourage the retention of editors | We have built tools to allow us to easily email prior editors and send out encouragement to those involved. |
| F. Encourage the retention of organizers | The tools build makes the work of organizers significantly easier. |
5. Is there anything else you would like to share about how your efforts helped to bring in participants and/or build out content, particularly for underrepresented groups?
A summary of the work with monthly documentation of progress.
Part 2: Your main learning[edit]
6. In your application, you outlined your learning priorities. What did you learn about these areas during this period?
We have further developed our collaboration with our programmer contractor. And we onboarded a number of other organizations to the dashboard
7. Did anything unexpected or surprising happen when implementing your activities?This can include both positive and negative situations. What did you learn from those experiences?
Efforts went as planned.
8. How do you hope to use this learning? For instance, do you have any new priorities, ideas for activities, or goals for the future?
We are bringing on a paid "coordinator of volunteers" to help us with recruitment and meshing the systems we built with those of other NGOs in the translation space. This individual will also play a key roll in being a first point of contact if volunteers run into issues.
9. Documentation of resources: Use this space to upload any documents that would be useful to share with others (e.g. communications material, training material, presentations).

Part 3: Metrics[edit]
10a. Open Metrics reporting
In your application, you defined some open metrics and targets (goals). You will see a table like the one below with your metric in the title and the target you set in your proposal automatically filled in. Use the tables to report the result. Use the comments column to describe any aspects of this result that you find relevant. If the results were different from the initial target (goals) then you can explain why and what you learned from this. You can also provide any qualitative analysis regarding these results. In the last column please describe the tools and methodology used to collect this data and any difficulties you might have had.
| Open Metrics | Description | Target | Results | Methodology |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| N/A | We hope to double the number of translators who have used our dashboard over the next year from 23 to 46. | 46 | 70 total (49 in 2023) | N/A |
| N/A | We hope to double the pageviews our translations have received over the next year from 200,000 to 400,000 | 400000 | 2.3 million (927,000 in 2023) | Our dashboard |
| N/A | We hope to double the number of total translations from 900 to 1800. | 1800 | 1,991 total (1,062 in 2023) | Our dashboard |
| N/A | We want to double the number of languages in which we are working from 11 to 22 | 22 | 36 total (32 in 2023) | Our dashboard |
| N/A | Our translation efforts launched in 2011, initially in collaboration with Translators Without Borders. Together we translation millions of words of text and worked in nearly 100 different languages. We do not have an exact numerical impact of these efforts and we would like to try to calculate this. | Prior impact | Reached | N/A |
10b. Core Metrics reporting
In your application, you defined targets for some core metrics and targets (goals). You will see a table like the one below with each core metric in the title and the target you set in your proposal automatically filled in. Use the tables to report the result.

If the results were different from the initial target (goals) then you can explain why and what you learned from this. You can also provide any qualitative analysis regarding these results. In the last column please describe the tools and methodology used to collect this data and any difficulties you might have had. Note: a table will appear for each Wikimedia project content contribution you defined in your proposal.
| Core metrics | Description | Target | Results | Comments | Methodology |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of participants | We will be looking at editors involved as well as the number of pageviews the translated content received. | Reached | |||
