Spanish Translation of Windows to the Universe Website

Windows to the Universe网站的西班牙语翻译该项目支持将成功的Windows to the Universe网站（http：//www.example.com）翻译成西班牙语。www.windows.ucar.edu宇宙视窗项目于1995年启动，目的是为学生和公众开发一个地球和空间科学的用户友好型学习系统，并与跨学科的人文学科联系相联系。W2 U网站上的所有内容现在都只有英文版。该网站每年为超过400万用户提供服务，其中约65%是K-12学生，他们经常访问该网站进行课堂研究和空闲时间浏览。该网站由数千个多层次的cgi-html混合页面组成，这些页面被动态解释为小学、初中或高中高年级的用户提供内容。每个页面还包括多个图像，并且每个页面上的主图像通常链接到单独的html页面上的同一图像的较大版本。网站上的所有页面都包括图片来源，标题，标签和未标签的按钮和导航工具。因此，将网站翻译成西班牙文需要文字翻译和图形修改相结合，以开发网站的完整第二版，为西班牙语社区服务。项目小组将在两年的时间内分多个步骤翻译网站，通过使用专职西班牙语翻译和讲西班牙语的地球科学家确保翻译的准确性。他们还将开发一个页面翻译管理界面，以促进翻译人员和W2 U项目工作人员的互动。 项目工作人员将在第二年参加两次西班牙裔科学教育会议，以传播有关W2 U网站新西班牙语版本可用性的信息。

Spanish Translation of Windows to the Universe WebsiteThis project supports translation of the successful Windows to the Universe website (http://www.windows.ucar.edu) into Spanish. The Windows to the Universe (W2U) project was initiated in 1995, to develop a user-friendly learning system for students and the general public for the Earth and space sciences, linking to interdisciplinary humanities connections. All content on the W2U site is now available only in English. The site serves over 4 million users per year, ~65% of whom are K-12 students who visit the site frequently for classroom research and free-time browsing. The site is composed of thousands of multi-level hybrid cgi-html pages that are dynamically interpreted to serve content back to the user at the upper elementary, middle, or high school level. Each page also includes multiple images, and the main image on each page typically is linked to a larger version of the same image on a separate html page. All pages on the site include image credits, captions, and labeled and unlabeled buttons and navigation tools. Translation of the site into Spanish therefore requires a combination of text translation as well as graphics revision to develop a full second version of the site to serve the Spanish- speaking community. The project team will translate the web site with a multi-step process over a two-year interval, ensuring accuracy of the translation throughthe use of a full-time professional Spanish translator and Spanish-speaking geoscientists. They will also develop a page translation management interface that will facilitate the interaction of the translators and W2U project staff. Project staff will attend two Hispanic science education meetings in the second year to disseminate information about the availability of the new Spanish-language version of the W2U site.
