| Week | Task | Time | Challenges |
|---|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | I was shown how to create a wikipedia account, as well as how to create and edit an article. I put this table up onto my account | 90 minuets in class | It was a lot to grasp and the wikipedia interface seemed a bit outdated which made it harder. |
| Week 2 | fixed the mistakes in the text of Stork Farm Loburg | 130 min | words denouncing very niche aspects |
| Week 3 | We finished on the translation on the Stork Farm Loburg and found our first article to translate on our own, which we started at home. | 140 min | Uncertainties on when to capitalize which words, as well as vocab again |
| Week 4 | We finished our first translation and published it; started with a new translation at home | 150 min | Getting rid of sentence structures that sounded too German, mistakes on tenses, especially use of present perfect; getting the German article linked to the English on due to the two different interfaces |
| Week 5 | Added many categories to the first published article and removed the tags. We started on translating an article from English into German (Hall's universal group) and nearly finished it at home | 120 min | Difficulties with certain terms in mathematics and how to phrase them in German. |
| Week 6 | Finished the article on Hall's universal group and started the article on Reich law | 130 min | Very complex compound words in the German that have no direct translation; thus we had to paraphrase them. As a result, some meaning got lost or wasn't emphasized enough |
| Week 7 | Translated two paragraphs on the German Reich law and finished the last one at home | 130 min | Words in the context of history are very complex and unknown to me. I had struggles with deconstructing the sentences in German and trying to find a fitting translation into English. I made a few mistakes regarding commas and when to use the progressive form |
| Week 8 | Fully translated the article on the French railway metric | 120min | Felt very manageable to translate, but wasn't proofread yet |
| Week 9 | Published the article on the French railway metric and also published the article on the Reich law. | 100 min | |
| Week 10 | Started the work on smoothbore weapons | 110 min | German text was sometimes very poorly written |
| Week 11 | Continued on smoothbore weapons | 100 min | Example |
| Week 12 | Continued on smoothbore weapons and had most of it proofread | 110 min | We had some stupid mistakes, such as typos or missing -, but also grammatical mistakes and poor choice of words |
| Week 13 | Finished translating smoothbore weapons | 90 min | Issues with punctuation and understanding what is meant in the German text |
