The Corr-Proust Wiki makes available the text of Marcel Proust's letters and their scholarly notes (as published by the Corr-Proust digital edition) for translation into other languages. At this time, the Corr-Proust Wiki is only allowing translations from French to English. In later phases, the platform will offer the possibility for translations from French to other languages.

Copyright

All texts in the Corr-Proust digital edition and the Corr-Proust Wiki, including the text of Proust's letters and their scholarly notes, are published under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike-4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-SA). They can therefore be modified and redistributed for non-commercial use, as long as appropriate credit is given to the Corr-Proust digital edition or the Corr-Proust Wiki, and the same copyright and access privileges are granted.

Note: this does not apply to facsimiles (images of letters), which remain the property of the institutions or individuals who own the original documents, and are published in the Corr-Proust digital edition with their authorization.

Translations posted to the Corr-Proust Wiki are likewise published under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike-4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-SA). Contributors do not retain individual copyright.

Scholarly notes

Note numbers

Scholarly notes are numbered on the Corr-Proust Wiki in the order in which they appear in the text view of the letter in the Corr-Proust digital edition, where postscriptums (often written by Proust at the top of the first page of a letter) are placed at the end of the letter.

By contrast, in the Corr-Proust digital edition, footnotes are numbered in the order in which they appear in the transcription view, reflecting the text as formatted in Proust’s original document.

Therefore, in certain cases, the numbering order of footnotes on the Corr-Proust Wiki will differ from that found in the letter as published in the Corr-Proust digital edition. (Example: CP 02812 on the Corr-Proust Wiki vs. CP 02812 in the Corr-Proust digital edition).

Footnote features

The initials in brackets at the end of footnotes (e.g., [PK]) are the initials of the editors of the Corr-Proust digital edition.

In the second-to-last footnote of each letter, a space is provided for contributors to enter notes regarding their translations. Since contributors are asked to use this feature sparingly, users will often find the second-to-last footnote blank.

The final footnote of each letter contains a list of usernames representing contributors who have worked on the translation of the letter.

Footnotes are automatically organized by the MediaWiki software into either a single column or multiple columns, depending on the width of the user's screen. Therefore, while the content of the footnotes will always remain the same, they may display differently on different devices or browsers. This feature improves accessibility and makes it easier for most people to read the footnotes, especially on narrow or very wide screens.

Disclaimer: the Corr-Proust editors cannot guarantee the strict accuracy of every translation made available on the Corr-Proust Wiki. The quality of the translations is overseen by a self-monitoring community of contributors.
