I'm responsible for several popular websites, including:

kermitproject.org

The Kermit Project, formerly at Columbia University, now independent (the original site at Columbia still exists but has been "frozen" since 2011).

kermitproject.org/newdeal/

The New Deal in New York City. The hidden legacy of FDR's New Deal in NYC in photographs and text. Hosted at the Kermit Project website.

columbia.edu/cu/computinghistory/

The History of Computing at Columbia University.

columbia.edu/cu/computinghistory/1968/

The 1968 student uprising at Columbia University (don't ask me why Columbia filed this under "computinghistory")

Each site has pages that have been translated into one or more languages other than English (sometimes more than 30, such as this one and this one).   Note: The language and page counts shown above reflect all the translations that were made, and do not account for links that have subsequently gone bad. If you encounter a translation link that doesn't work, please notify me.

Note: Each translation link pointed to a valid translation at the time it was submitted. But over time, links can expire, disappear, or redirect to unrelated pages. For example, as of 27 March 2023 nine out of the 30 links to translations of the Kermit Project Home page have gone bad (one of them was subsequently fixed). I made a new page, badlinks.html, to keep track of the expired links, but expanding this to all the other pages that have translations is a big job and will take time. The statistics at the top of this page refer to the original translations.

Guidelines for translators

Anyone who would like to translate any of the pages at any of these sites into a new language is welcome to do so. Normally the translation is hosted at the translator's site and linked to from the original page, as in this example, which has the language buttons on top and table of translation credits at the end.

If you would like to translate a page to a new language, send me email at the address above. Guidelines:  § Check the page you want to translate to make sure it hasn't already been translated into the same language.  § Translations should be done by a competent speaker of the given language, not Google Translate.  § The translated document should be in standard HTML (not Microsoft Word or other proprietary format).  § The link to the translated document should arrive at it directly, without any intermedediate steps such as signing in to Google or Facebook.  § If the original page contains references (to books or other websites), these do not need to be translated.  § It's OK to request linking to a commercial site, but please: no phishing or other hostile sites, no porn, no aggressive popups, etc.  § There is no charge for installing the links and credits, and no money can be paid by me for the translations.  § Your translated page should link back to the original page.  § Your translated page should announce its language in the <lang=xx> attribute, where xx is the ISO 6391-1 language code (see list).  § You should supply the following information about your translation so I can link to it:

1. Name of language
2. Link to your translation
3. Name of translator
4. Translator's organization or company
   (and let me know if you want me to include rel="nofollow" in the link)

See this example. Item 3 is optional if item 4 is included, and vice versa. Items 3 and 4 can also include links, e.g. to a personal page or company page.

If you want to translate a page but you don't have anywhere to host the translation, I'll be glad to host it myself.

Pages that have been translated as of the "updated" date above are shown in the table below. Click each link to see the languages each page has been translated to so far. Click a language name at the top to see which pages have been translated into that language. In the table, entries with green backgrounds have translations; if you click on the link in the first column, you'll see language buttons at the top of the page. Entries in italics with yellow backgrounds are popular pages that have no translations yet.

Index to pages

Disclaimer: Links to sites that host translations, which are in various countries governed by different laws, do not imply an endorsement of the site itself. The translations should be safe to visit but, as always, use caution when exploring unfamiliar sites. Also, note that the linked-to pages can disappear or change into something else at any time. If you notice a link that does not work, or that ends up at some page that is not a translation of the page you're visiting, please let me know by email.
