Translate the CDLI interface to Arabic, Farsi, and other languages!

One of the main missions of CDLI is to provide access to the information it safekeeps to a wide audience. One of the main barriers to this access is one of language.

This project will enable us to enhance the infrastructure of CDLI to make it possible to provide content in a translated interface both in Farsi and in Arabic. This project also encompasses producing the translations required for the interface to appear in those languages. The expected result will be the possibility for a visitor to see the main interface including the menus translated to Arabic and Farsi, and part of our metadata which presents itself as lists (proveniences, periods, materials, etc.) The rest of the interface and data will remain in English. 

For this project, we will hire two contractors: a programmer and a translator. We will also have workshops with Iraqi and Iranian colleagues  Total costs are estimated at 14,000£.
