Some baklava for you!

Hi Doc James,

Happy New Year!

I noticed you visited McMaster about a decade ago to host a workshop about translating high-quality work into freely available Wikipedia content.

I was wondering if you could direct me to any current ongoing initiatives. In particular, I am seeking opportunities within Ontario.

Best,

User:IrateSpecialist we at Wiki Project Med Foundation are still working to translate medical content into other languages per here. Would be happy to have you join us. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 13:24, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

User:IrateSpecialist thanks for joining the effort :-) We have this tool here to help fix references more quickly after translating.[1] Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:11, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but I don't really understand how to use it. I inputted the title "Benzonatate" and the langcode "fr". It outputs "no changes". I found another tool there called "normalize references" but I don't understand what it does either. P.S. What languages do you cover? IrateSpecialist (talk) 13:37, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year, Doc James!
