I have texts that I have translated and would like to share them with Sefaria. What should I do?
Let us know. We would love to talk to you. Send an email to [email protected] with information about your translation and we will get back to you.
How do I contribute to the Sefaria Community Translation?
1. Log into your Sefaria account.
2. Click on the text that you would like to translate. This will open the resource panel.
3. In the "Tools" section, click "Advanced".
4. Select "Add Translation".
5. Type your translation and click "Save".
How do I edit a Sefaria Community Translation?
- Log into your Sefaria account
- View the text in Hebrew or English. Editing does not take place in bilingual mode.
- Click on the text that you would like to edit. This will open the resource panel.
- In the "Tools" section, click "Advanced".
- Select "Edit Translation".
- Edit the text and click "Save".
How do I add translations in languages other than English?
- Always list non-English translations as Copied Text. Please do not enter non-English translations under Original Translation.
- The Version Title of your translation should clearly indicate its language in a way a normal user would understand.
- The Version Title should end with the two character language code in brackets, (e.g., [fr]). This will help us automatically find and categorize translations when we deal with them better in the future.
Translations will be accessible to others by selecting a text version in the Text Table of Contents page, which you see by clicking the text title in the header of a text.
Please note: Adding and editing texts is available on the website only.
