-Wikimedia Research Fund Grant Awarded for Enhancing English-to-Turkish Wikipedia Translations
+First [Wikimedia Research Fund](https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation) for Türkiye!
 
 ***
-We are thrilled to announce that our lab has been awarded a $40,000 grant from the Wikimedia Research Fund. This project aims to address the significant gap in English-to-Turkish translations on Wikipedia, particularly in technical domains.
-
-We plan to develop a pipeline system that will enhance the quality of translations. This initiative will leverage our domain expertise from collaborative efforts in building a terminology dictionary. Our focus extends to bridging the gap between academic researchers and the Wikipedia community, creating valuable datasets, and developing sophisticated NLP models geared towards terminology identification, linking, and translation.
-
-We congratulate principal investigator, Asst. Prof. Gözde Gül Şahin, and lab members Gürkan, Ali, and Mina for their crucial contributions to this project. For more details about our project, please visit [here](https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Bridging_the_Gap_Between_Wikipedians_and_Scientists_with_Terminology-Aware_Translation:_A_Case_Study_in_Turkish).
+Translating technical content with scientific terms is still challenging for both state-of-the-art LMs and MT models. Well, we already have “dictionaries” that can guide the models for correct terminology translation, but how can we use them? We are thrilled to announce that our lab has been awarded a $40,000 grant from the Wikimedia Research Fund to investigate this. For more details about our project, please visit [here](https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Bridging_the_Gap_Between_Wikipedians_and_Scientists_with_Terminology-Aware_Translation:_A_Case_Study_in_Turkish). This project also has a very special meaning since it marks us as the first ever research group from Türkiye to be awarded with Wikimedia Research Fund!

+## Bridging the Gap Between Wikipedians and Scientists with Terminology-Aware Translation: A Case Study in Turkish 
+
+<br> This project addresses the gap between the escalating volume of English-to-Turkish Wikipedia translations and the insufficient number of contributors, particularly in technical domains. Leveraging expertise from academics’ collaborative terminology dictionary effort, we propose a pipeline system to enhance translation quality. Our focus is on bridging academic and Wikipedia communities, creating datasets, and developing NLP models for terminology identification and retrieval, and terminology-aware translation. The aim is to foster sustained contributions and improve the overall quality of Turkish Wikipedia articles.
+
+### Goals
+
+The project will focus on the following tasks:
+
+- **High-quality parallel corpora for terminology-aware translation:** We aim to generate 3,000 parallel sentences in English-Turkish containing the following: i)English text annotated with the technical terms, ii) links to correct terminology entries in the database, and iii) edited translations using the correct terminology with Turkish terms. 
+
+- **Term Identification:** Build models to identify the technical terms in a multilingual setup.
+
+- **Term Linking:** Build models to ground the identified terms in a terminology database (if possible). In case the DB does not contain the term, make a notification system for the domain experts.  
+
+- **Terminology-Aware Translation:** We will build post-editing and translation systems that will be constrained with the terminology database. 
+
+### Team
+
+ - Asst. Prof. Gözde Gül Şahin
+ - Ali Gebeşçe (Masters student)
