Wikiquote Translation Coverage

This page provides insights into how widely quotes are translated across different languages on Wikiquote. We measure the average translation coverage for each quote, indicating how many languages it's available in.

Additionally, we present the median translation coverage for each language, showing the typical number of quotes available in that language compared to others. This data is compiled from Wikiquote's publicly available content and is presented to highlight the global reach and accessibility of quotes.

Understanding translation coverage is valuable for researchers, language enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the global dissemination of ideas. It reveals which quotes and languages have the broadest reach and offers a unique perspective on cross-lingual content availability, a metric not commonly published due to the inherent complexity of quote translation.
