Goals[edit]

The main goal of this project is to provide correct and complete translations of articles on the various language versions of Bahaipedia, so that the corresponding articles may be added to other language versions. Any articles may be translated, but priority should go to translating articles in Bahaipedia's list of core articles (see below).

When new articles are translated and added to another project, links should also be added to the appropriate item on Bahaidata to enable interwiki links.

A side goal of this project is to categorize images and media in different languages into the corresponding subcategories of Category:Languages on Bahai.media. The aim is to highlight localized files which could be good to use on other language versions of Bahaipedia.

Core articles[edit]

The following is a table showing Bahaipedia's list of core articles, and any interlanguage versions that exist. This list is automatically generated based on existing interlanguage links on the English version of Bahaipedia.
