In order to best serve our global family of Akvopedia users, we are translating our pages into the primary languages our user use the most.
Our goal is to include major languages from all continents such as French, Spanish, Hindi, Swahili, and others... in addition to several less-used languages that our users might want, which include Indonesian, Chinese, Arabic, Malayalam, Tamil, Korean and Japanese. But we would like to add more languages as time goes on.

While we accept individuals with translation experience (or students in a translation program) to add newly translated pages to Akvopedia, we have been fortunate to establish a translation program with some university programs worldwide. This way, their students get college credit for doing the translations, and Akvopedia gets pages that have been proofread by not just another individual, but by a team of aspiring translators, improving the quality of translation. In addition, the universities continue to offer their courses each year, which means we get consistent help, and notifications if an English page is updated and needs that integrated into the translated versions too.
