WikiBABEL: A System for Multilingual Wikipedia Content

This position paper outlines our project - WikiBABEL - which will be released as an open source project for the creation of multi- lingual Wikipedia content, and has potential to produce parallel data as a by-product for Ma- chine Translation systems research. We dis- cuss its architecture, functionality and the user-experience components, and briefly pre- sent an analysis that emphasizes the resonance that the WikiBABEL design and the planned involvement with Wikipedia has with the open source communities in general and Wik- ipedians in particular.
