摘要维基百科是研究人员的资源，因为它具有协作性和颠覆性的特点，但它也可以成为关于一个主题最广泛持有的观点的信息来源。这项研究着眼于2015年1月维基百科上所有语种的翻译词条。这些条目首先根据大小(以字节为单位)、活动(2014年的活动水平)和分配的质量标签进行分类。然后对讨论页进行分析，以隔离任何特定的问题(破坏、宣传和智囊团)，并进行内容分析，以评估哪些翻译特征在维基中最常被评论。对收集到的数据进行分析，以找出哪些想法可能是全球翻译理念的内在原因，哪些是更具语言特色的。研究结果与翻译界和翻译研究的现状进行了比较。
ABSTRACT Wikipedia is a resource for researchers due to its collaborative and disruptive characteristics, but it can also be a source of information on what the most widely held views on a topic are. This study looks at the entry for “translation” in Wikipedia in all the languages available in January 2015. Those entries are first categorized with respect to size (measured in bytes), activity (level of activity in 2014) and assigned quality labels. Discussion pages are then analysed to isolate any specific problem (vandalism, publicity and thinkgroups) and a content analysis is carried out to evaluate what features of translation are most frequently commented on in the wikis. The collected data is analysed in order to find out which ideas may be intrinsic to a global idea of translation, and which are more language-specific. The results are compared to the current situation of the translation industry and translation studies.
