-==High-Priority Languages==
-Translations for all languages are welcome, but in this case some languages have higher priority than others. The list of [http://www.krysstal.com/spoken.html the 30 most spoken languages of the world] is one way to help you decide what languages should be considered for translation.
+==List of Articles to Translate==
-In that list, the following languages are spoken by a large number of people in Muslim majority countries: Arabic, Bengali, Indonesian, Farsi and Urdu. These languages are therefore of high importance. For non-Muslim countries, Mandarin, Spanish, Hindi and Russian are important languages.
-Here are other relevant lists:
-* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_Internet_users List of countries by number of Internet users]
-* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Muslim_population List of countries by Muslim population] (sort table by 2<sup>nd</sup> column "Muslim population")
-* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Muslim-majority_countries List of Muslim-majority countries]
-Other languages can be chosen depending on relevance and popularity of a certain topic or social issue, or simply because you happen to know it and think the information on WikiIslam should be made available in your language.
-==High-Priority Articles==
-All topics are equally important but sometimes a certain topic may be more relevant to a specific region, and this should be taken into consideration.
-For example, women's rights is an important topic in [[Saudi Arabia]] because women are often denied equal rights and there is some activism there in an attempt to improve this situation (voting, driving).
-In many non-Muslim countries, women's rights will not be much of an issue but if Muslims in that country are involved in [[Honor Violence|honor violence]], then that could be considered an important topic.
-Relevance can also be seen by checking what topics are popularly discussed in the media of that region and any online forums.
-The following are possible issues in a country with a Muslim majority population:
-* [[Free Speech]]
-* [[Islam and Women]]
-* [[Islam and Apostasy]]
-* [[Islam and Miracles]]
-* [[Islam and Homosexuality]] (for example this topic is important in Iran)
-* Any topics that are discussed in debates between Muslims and skeptics or former Muslims ([[Contradictions and Errors|contradictions in the Qur'an]], [[Islam and Science|science]], [[Persecution|major incidents of violence]] etc.)
-For a non-Muslim country with a small Muslim population, the following are possible topics:
-* [[Converts]]
-* [[Islam and the People of the Book]]
-* [[Islam and Propaganda]]
-* Any topic in Islam that contrasts strongly with modern moral standards such as [[Islam and Pedophilia|Pedophilia]]
-If relevance for a certain language is not an issue or cannot be determined, the following are a few examples of articles you could begin translating into other languages:
