Project overview
The goals of SDG Translations are:
- To compile text related to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals
- To translate that text into as many languages as possible
- To provide those translations in both machine-readable and human-readable formats
Machine-readable
This project was built to support SDG reporting platforms, by making it easier to translate those platforms into multiple languages. To accomplish this, the translations are available in machine-readable JSON format. For more technical information, see the developers page.
Human-readable
In order to make it easy to audit and expand this set of translations, this project also provides some user-friendly tools for translators. On the translators page there are spreadsheets available for each language. Additionally there is a search page where translators can look up particular items to get more detailed context about how a word/phrase is intended to be used.
Contibuting and forking
Forking of this repository is encouraged, especially for maintaining translations that are specific to a particular platform. However any useful translations are welcome to be contributed back, as “pull requests”. If you are unsure how to submit a pull request, simply start things off with a note in the issue queue.
