Abstract

From multi-domain multilingual Wikipedia websites to a single-domain multilingual Wikidata site, online collaboration has taken a major stride. However, achieving a multilingual experience is a rather challenging task for a highly evolving site like Wikidata built with the collaboration of contributors from around the world. It is important to let the contributors analyse and discover how properties are translated and also detect potential problems. This article focuses on developing a tool for understanding and visualizing the translation patterns of Wikidata.
