xSilence Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Is there any project planned to translate the Wiki into German too?If not, I think it would be a great idea because most German Wikis I saw were really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scafloc Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 No there are no such plans. To do this on the wiki a set of language variants would have to be setuped. That would take some time. Also are there really a lot of German speakers who would want to work on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSilence Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 I know a lot of German fans and maybe they would work together or something like this.But I'm not sure =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scafloc Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 German is a major language and has a very large wikipedia site so I expected that there would be a wiki dedicated to the series. I checked a lot of websites, one of them this forum. It pretty big and they have discussed creating a wiki but they did not go through with it because they did not expect to have enough dedicated users (even though they have a lot of people on the forum).So having a lot of fans is not enough: you need a lot of people willing to add information. Therefore I do not think having a German wiki on same site as AWOIAF works. I think we have less German speakers than the Eis und Feuer forum and therefore even less people willing to contribute on a German wiki.But there is a wikia dedicated to the series. It is rather small but recently there is more activity. I have spoken with a user on it and tried to help with some info about copying and copyright. If they get that right and they can attract more people it may become a nice wiki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
