Abstract

In this session I’ll share some challenges we faced at Wikimedia Deutschland with partially translated pages. We have some interesting example cases such as sentences which are partly left-to-right and partly right-to-left. I’d like to open up for discussion so we can share insights on how to approach such cases to get the best outcomes, and how to balance tradeoffs to avoid very confusing text.
