The Nigerian Legislators Translation Project in Igbo Wiki Fan Club IMSU and Alvan

Overview

The Nigerian Legislators Translation Project is a collaboration between the Igbo Wiki Fan Club Imo State University and the Igbo Wiki Fan Club Alvan. It is aimed at improving the availability of information on Nigerian lawmakers in the Igbo language. The project is focused on translating biography articles from English language to Igbo language, ensuring that vital political and legislative content is accessible to Igbo speakers. By closing this content gap, the project enhances community engagement, promote linguistic inclusivity, and empower Igbo-speaking communities with knowledge about their representatives and legislative processes.
