The feature: Tags show up translated wherever tags appear(1). Although words are rarely perfectly equivalent between languages, translation may prove useful to many of LibraryThing’s non-English members and, in time, to libraries that use LibraryThing’s data feeds and LibraryThing for Libraries. LibraryThing users can help out by adding new translations, and voting on existing ones. Translation has been seeded with translations drawn from one user-driven ecosystem, Wikipedia.

As many of you know, LibraryThing is available in more than a dozen languages like German ( ), French ( ), Dutch ( ), Finnish ( fi.), Polish ( pl.) and Slovak ( sk.).īasics: Today I introduced a new feature, called “tag translation,” to show many of LibraryThing’s 87 million tags in the language of the site.
