FIGHTING EBOLA THROUGH TRANSLATION

The Nigerian Institute of Translators and Interpreters (NITI) is collaborating with Translators without Borders (www.translatorswithoutborders.org), an international organization that works alongside major global aid organizations to provide language access for humanitarian causes. TWB are currently engaged in a project with Wikipedia to publish the urgently needed health information regarding the Ebola virus into as many African languages as possible. Since Wikipedia content can be accessed from cell phones, availability of information about the illness will help with the dissemination of useful facts.

Immediate volunteer help is needed with the translation of a short simplified article on the illness into as many Nigerian languages as possible for the ongoing Wikipedia health campaign.

If you are available to help, please write to NITI to link you up. Thank you very much for your co-operation.
