Translation Submissions

In response to the suspension of 42 courses at the University of Nottingham, Lingo introduced translation articles. Follow our basic step-by-step guide to pitching and translating a Lingo article.

This is a basic guide. For more information, including FAQs, please refer to the document below.

Translation Submissions Info

Choosing an Artile to Translate

To keep content relevant, we ask that you translate a Lingo article that has been published in the last two years. Our only exceptions are Lingo printed articles from issues 1-6, all of which you can translate. When you choose your article, please make sure that it hasn’t been translated in the language you decide to write. After you choose an article, email lingo.magazinesubmit@gmail.com with the article and what language you will translate it in!

To help keep organised, please fill in the speadsheet with information on your translation pitch below in after we confirm your email.

Translation Claims

Writing your article

When writing, ensure you check for errors in your work before sending it in, especially if you’re writing in a language we don’t provide editing/proofreading for. This could include spelling errors, grammatical errors and mistranslations. We ask that you do not use AI, including Google Translate, when writing your translated article. Your work will not be published if we find any use of AI in your work.

Submitting your article

Once you’re confident with your piece, please send it to lingo.magazinesubmit@gmail.com with the link to your work. Please write ‘Translation Project - [Title of Article] in [Language] - [Name]’ as your subject line. Please send your article as either a Word Document or a Google Document. Sending your file as a PDF means it will be more difficult for volunteer editors to edit your work. Ensure all have access to this work!

Alongside a link/attachment to your work, please also send:

Your Name and pronouns
Whether you are a student, alumni or faculty/staff
A short bio, in third person, about yourself. You could include the languages you know, where you’re from and other interests!
A photo of yourself.

Once sent, the team will double-check your work for AI/errors and we’ll post your work on our website!
