==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:
